Anyways, as much as I know myself, If I was in India this month, - I would have surely gone to Shirdi to get a token of bliss from the Sai darbar during this auction and made my diwali and dhanteras a little more special. But, I guess- I will just be happy with the peace of mind , contentment and the kind grace that He has showered upon me..However, for all those living in India- The auction starts on 18th oct 2012.
