Mauje Morachi Chincholi gavatil veshi baheril ‘Khandoba‘ mandiratil ‘Khanderai‘ he jagrit devsthan asun, ha khanderai Jejuri gadavarilach devsthan ahe. Khup varshanpurvi Morachi Chincholi gavatil Nanekar hya kutumbatil ek mahan sevak dar varshi ‘Paush Paurnimela‘ jejuris darshanas jaat ase. Jya pramane varkari sampradayache varkari Alandi-Pandharpur chi paayi waari kartat, tyach pramane ha mahan purush Jejuri chi paayi vaari nishkaam bhavanene karat ase.

Jyapramane Pandharicha vithobala Pundalikasathi chandrabhagetiri vitewar athhavis yuganpasun ubha ahe, tyach pramane ha Nanekar warkari vrudhh zalyavar, tyas paayi chalvena. Tenvha tyala prashn padla ki mi Khanderayachi kashi seva karu? Pan Jejurichya khanderayane tyala sangitle tu ata majhya kade ala ahes na, mag aata tu maghe ghari jatana tujhya barobar yeyil, pan chalat astana maghe pahu nakos, hi ekach at. Jya thikani tu maghe pahashil, mi tyach thikani thambel.

Hya khanderayachi dar varshi ‘Paush paurnimela‘ aani ‘Maagh Paurnimela‘ mothi yaatra bharte. Margashish mahinyat ‘Saptah‘ sudhha hoto. Tevha akhand harinaamacha gajar chalto.
