कुरवपुर येथील गुहा:...🙏🏻

या ठिकाणी टेंबे स्वामी महाराजांनी प्रत्येक संकटावर रामबाण उपाय असलेल्या घोरकष्टोधरण स्तोत्राची रचना केली. महाराज येथे तपश्चर्येला बसत. रांगत रांगत आत जाता येईल एवढी चिंचोळी वाट आहे. आतमध्ये केवळ एक माणूस बसु शकेल एवढी या गुहेची उंची व जागा आहे.

फारशी गर्दी व मनुष्य स्पर्श न लाभलेल्या कुरवपुरच्या वातावरणात एक पवित्र्य आणि चैतन्य भरलेले आहे. ते तिथे जाणवतेच.
