Over the years devotees have had divine experience of availing darshan of Parmatma Trayi i.e. Param Poojya Aniruddha Bapu, Param Poojya Nandai and Param Poojya Suchitdada.

>>> Sadguru Bapu would bless potful of Udi (sacred ash) with His Hastasparsha (Hand touch). This Udi then would be made available to all the visiting devotees.

>>> Recitation of Shree Aniruddha Challisa and Sadguru Bapu performing Udi Hastasparsha would be repeated hourly throughout the day.

>>> Certain volunteers would offer Basil leaves to idol of Lord Dattatrey and for the whole day recitation of hymn 'ॐ द्रां दत्तात्रेयाय नमः' would be performed continuously.

There are few changes that have been made in the celebrations of Gurupoornima  this year which are summarized as under.

1) This year the festival of Guru Poornima will be celebrated on 16th July 2011 which is a day later than the actual day on which Guru Poornima falls. This is done so that all the devotees can attend the festival as Saturday is generally a holiday or half day for many offices, establishments, schools, colleges, etc.

2) The day shall begin with the Poojan of the padukas of Shree Narsimha Saraswati done by Param Poojya Sadguru Bapu, Param Poojya Nandaai and Param Poojya Suchitdada Themselves. The water used in this consecration (abhishek) shall be given to all Shraddhavans as Teertha (holy water).

3) This year too we shall be having the pradakshina, albeit with some changes. The jap (Sairam, Jai Jai Sairam) remains the same but the Stambh (pillar) around which the pradakshina will be different. This year there will be a triangular pillar. On the 3 facets of this pillar shall have pictures of Bapu, Nandaai and Suchitdada with their hands raised upwards towards the sky. Atop this Pillar shall be a Lotus flower within which shall be kept the Padukas of Bapu's Shree Narsimha Saraswati. Beside these Padukas shall be kept the 2 Avadhoot Kumbhas. The Poorva Avdhoot Kumbha and the Apoorva Avdhoota Kumbha.

4) All Shradddhavans will be getting the unique opportunity of performing the Poojan of the Shree Trivikram. at the venue of celebrations. Till now Shraddhavans were able to perform the consecration (abhishek) on the Trivikram present only at the Shree Gurukshetram. The Trivikram is the manifest form of the Sadguru Tatva (Principle), i.e. every persons Sadguru resides within the Trivikram.

5) This year onwards we shall be having 3 Palkhis (Palanquins) in the Dindis. These Palkhis will have the Charan Mudra of our beloved Bapu. These palkhis shall be circulating within the Bhakti Ganga (Queue of Shraddhavans) amongst great celebration. Every Shraddhavan shall be able to bow down to these Charan Mudra.
