GOULIBUVA

Gaulibuva was a 95-year-old Varkari of Pandhari. He stayed at Pandharpur for 8 months and four months from Ashadha to kartik (july-November) on the banks of Ganges. Only possession he had along with him was an ass to carry his luggage and a deciple who was his companion in his Varis. Every year after making the Varis (trip) to Pandharpur, he came to Shirdi. Fortunate was his devotion and dedication that he saw Vithal in Baba. His occupation in Shirdi was to sit and stare at Baba and say aloud that here was Pandharinath, Vithal personified. May be the love for the deity or the meditation in mind that he could perforate the unreality and look through all that was there for his vision or he looked at reality? Baba was very fond of Vithal worship, and it is illustrated in Bhagwantrao Kshirsagar’s story.
