Seva Dindi - need a reliable source of information[edit]

The Seva Dindi section described has no reliable basis found. The reference #11 specified is routed to a pornographic website hosted behind the Cloudflare firewall. The domain name of the reference article has domain privacy and it impersonates a spiritual establishment in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

I am researching about the "Seva Dindi" for authentic, reliable sources across books, articles and scriptures.

In case, anyone is having any reference books or publications about Wari, warkari sampraday do share references, so that we can enrich or correct the information. Milindebhirud (talk) 02:11, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

removed the following contents - as the purpose of of dindi not verifable. also, offensive link. When, someone has a fact, we can discuss the below- original text:

Along with the Dindi procession, seva to the poor and needy is done reflecting that Lord is in all forms. This is called ‘Seva Dindi’. During the Seva Dindi, the people on pilgrimage undertake selfless service to the poor and needy like Amrut Kalash (Annadhan), Narayan seva, Medical seva, Building & repairing rural infrastructure etc.

Participation in Ashadi Dindi and Seva Dindi helps an individual in many ways by bringing good health, peace & prosperity in his life. Chanting the continuous glory of the God in the Ashadi Dindi procession and Seva Dindi purifies an individual, there is an inner cleansing that takes place in Mind, Body and Spirit and the participants tend to lose their individual identities and experience bliss. It develops all aspects of human personality and helps us understand the true purpose of Life. Istbhrung (talk) 12:43, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

archived copy of Dindi section - will reinstate if reliable sources are found/provided.

==Dindi Yatra==

Ashadi Ekadasi is a religious procession and is celebrated during the months of June- July (Aashaadh Shukla paksha). It consists of a beautifully decorated Palkhi having the “padukas” of the lord and the Palkhi procession consists of people collectively walking, singing and dancing the glory of the Lord in what are called as ‘Dindis’. This is said to be the World's largest and oldest people movement where people gather on a specific day every year and perform a walk of a distance of around 250 km. Pandharpur Ashadi Ekadashi Wari journey has been honoured by World Book of Records, London under the title 'One of the Most visited places in a day'.^[1]

The Palkhi procession has remained unbroken since it began despite wars, famines and floods. More than Fifty Palkhis of saints assemble at Pandharpur every year. In Maharashtra “Varkaris” (predominantly simple farmers) is a big community. They usually undertake 21-day walk after they have completed the sowing process in their fields. In the Ashadi Ekadasi festival, people from every faith and religion participate. Learned sages also come for it. Jnyaneshwar preached the Gita which is considered the highest religious text in Maharashtra. ^{[citation needed]} Istbhrung (talk) 17:19, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
