!! SAMARTHA RAMDAS SWAMI !!
SHIVTHAR GHAL - DASBODH JANMASTHAN
Sahyadri is one of the toughest mountains in the world. You can enjoy it's beauty in various places. Shivthar Ghal is one of such places. It is comparatively a small and rare place but must be seen and especially in the rainy season.
It is a place where Samarth Ramdas had written 'Dasbodh'- his famous manuscript. You must be amazing about this place and why Ramdas Swami had chosen this place, for his holy book but you never know it until you enter a small hall where Ramdas Swami used to sit, pray and write.
Shivthar Ghal is an area of silent beauty consists of lush green views of trees, mountains, a big waterfall and a river. Its a place where you can enjoy the clam and quite nature and really concentrate. It took almost 12 years to complete Dasbodh as Ramdas Swami dictated it and Kalyan Swami wrote it down. Now a days, the place is maintained by Shri Samarth Seva Mandal' and 'Sundarmath Seva samiti'.
Shivthar Ghal is a place worth to visit and enjoy the quite beauty of the nature and remember the famous saint in Maharashtra - Saint Ramdas and his Dasbodh
Reaching Shivthar Ghal
Reach Mahad by Bus/train.
From Mahad board the bus/Rickshaw(six sitter) for Ambeshivthar village.There are not many buses, but the rickshaws are easily available if you are a big group (in multiples of six). From Ambeshivthar , Shivthar Ghal is very closeby, hardly 40-45 steps. We spend the night in the cave, known as Sundarmath. The Shivtharghal Shri Sundarniath Seva Samiti is responsible for looking after this place. If one supplies the necessary provisions, they are willing to cook the food but it is essential to inform them in advance. Accommodation is also available here. The next morning we visit the surroundings. The Shivtharghal cave has been sanctified by the stay of the 17th century saint-poet Ramdas. In this cave Ramdas Swami composed his famous scripture 'Dasbodh'. A Hanuman temple installed by Ramdas Swami is also seen near this spot. In the monsoon the cascading waterfall presents a beautiful sight. On the plateau above, we see remnants of Chandrarao More's mansion. There is also a water tank nearby.
