INTRODUCTION
Morya Gosavi (14th century) also called as Moroba Gosavi was a popular saint and an ardent devotee of Lord Ganesha. It is believed that he was born in Bidar, Karnataka, to a noble family, and since he was lazy at his childhood, and didn’t attend to the school properly, his father has sent him out from the home.
The young child wandered in the streets and had his food by taking alms, and traveled to many places and finally reached chinchwad, pune, maharashtra. And from there, he reached morgaon and visited the famous temple of Lord Ganesha, and for some time stayed in that place.
After some time, as per the orders of Lord Ganesha, he moved to chinchwad, and built a temple for Lord Ganesha, and stayed there permanently, and after several years, he attained Jeeva Samadhi at that place. And a shrine was built in his Jeeva Samadhi. It is believed that still he is hearing the prayers of his sincere devotees, and with the grace of Lord Ganesha, he is removing the obstacles from their life, and making them to be prosperous in their life.
