Our beloved Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu, during his discourse on the auspicious occasion of Vijaydashmi 24^th October 2012, spoke about the importance of staying awake during the night of Ashwin Pournima which is also known as Kojagiri Pournima.

On this night, he said, Laxmi Mata, as told by Mahavishnu, travels around the world and makes enquiries wherever she visits – “Ko Jaagarti?” (Who is awake?). Any person who wakes through the night remembering the Sadguru, and waits for him, in the firm belief that he exists and that the Sadguru knows that he is being exhorted to come, that he knows everything – even if there is a semblance of such a feeling within that person – would be surely blessed by Laxmi Mata.  

परमपूज्य सद्‍गुरु श्री अनिरुद्ध बापूंचे प्रवचन (२४.१०.२०१२)

“लक्ष्मीचे मन कळवळते, तिला वाटते, देवगण चांगले आहेत, त्यांनी सुधारावे. ती विष्णूकडे परत जाते व त्याच्याकडे वर मागते, "मी आज पृथ्वीवर संचार करायला जाईन व जो कोणी रात्री जागा असेल, देवाची वाट बघत, देवावर विश्वास ठेवून तर त्याला आशीर्वाद देईन व असे प्रत्येक महिन्यात करण्यासाठी तू परवानगी दे." विष्णू म्हणतो, "दर महिन्याला मी परवानगी देऊ शकत नाही. वर्षातून एकदाच तू हे करू शकतेस. उद्या पौर्णिमा आहे." लक्ष्मीमाता म्हणते, "उद्या जी कोणी "कोऽजागरति"  म्हणत देवाची भक्ती करत जागा असेल त्याची त्याने कधीतरी मागे केलेली भक्ती मी जागृत करेन."

On the auspicious occasion of Kojagiri Pournima 2005, “Dwarkamai “ renamed as “"Kai Godh Guruchi Shala"  (Sweet and Loving School of my Sadguru!), was opened to all by our Dear Sadguru Shri Aniruddha Bapu, at Kothimbe, Karjat i.e. Govidyapeetham.

Sadguru Bapu had said that the walls of Dwarkamai have been plastered with Udi and this Dwarkamai is not just a replica of the Dwarkamai in Shirdi, but it stands for the strength and power of Shri Sai Baba's Dwarkamai.  Bapu has given us a promise/word that  "Whenever you sit in Dwarkamai and meditate (dhyan - chintan – adhyayan) by looking into Baba's eyes your bhakti (devotion) will get the required power." 

One of the devotees asked Sadguru Shri Aniruddha Bapu why the foundation of the Dwarkamai was being performed on the occasion of Kojagiri Poornima? 

Then Sadguru Bapu explained that for this there are three beautiful and important reasons. 

The first was the description of the incident of irrepressible rain when the weather was uncontrollable and the way Sainathji had exhibited full control over the fury of nature in the eleventh chapter,

The second was when Das Ganu went to seek permission from Baba to go to Prayag and was told by Baba that your Prayag is very much over here only and He was blessed with the Ganga and Yamuna river flowing from Baba's divine feet.

And the most important reason was that Kojagiri Poornima was the day when Sainath had arrived in Shirdi and was welcomed by Mahalsapati in the Khandoba temple with the greeting of " Come Sai". All these three very important incidents had taken place on the day of the Kojagiri Poornima itself.
