After our visit to Bagh Amberpet Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Sansthan, we planned to end this program for the day & go home for lunch. But deep in my mind, i was not satisfied with visit to just 3 temples. We had previously planned to stay back in this temple, see the Madhyan Aarti & then go home. Even the Security personal at the entrance asked as if we could wait for 10 minutes as the Madhyan Aarti was about to commence.

But by that time, i had decided to visit one more temple for the day & then go home for lunch. My Host, the Family Friend who accompanied me to all the Sai Temples this day had arranged for my Lunch at her & her mom was eagerly waiting for us & even called us twice in between to know our status. She was worried that the lunch cooked by her will not be hot if come late to home.

But Baba had some other plan for us. Honestly It was Baba who made me go nuts in going to one more temple. After wearing the footwear, me & my friend boarded an Auto ricksaw, we crossed the road, then i opened my map. There were 2 to 3 temples in the radius of 3-4 kms. But the Auto Driver whom Baba sent us to bring to this temple, suggested that this temple at Ram Nagar Gunda will be nearly & we can reach in Less than 10 minutes.

We were absolutely fine with the plan, as we needed to go in time for the 12:00pm Madhyan aarti. We got down the Ricksaw at the entrance of the colony where the temple was located. This temple was a 2 min walk from the entrance of the Arch. We walked down the Narrow Lanes of the Colony & we could see a relatively small temple of Shirdi Sai Baba there.

The Main Temple/Garba Gudi where the statue is placed was closed with a curtain & lot of people were waiting there for his darshan. I asked a Man sitting there who was incharge of the Coconuts & other stuff sold in the temple premises for the puja as to why are all the people sitting here & why is the curtain closed?

I got a very Amazing answer. He told me that the Big Marble Statue of Shirdi Sai Baba had been installed before some time & that it was the final day of Mandal Pooja. So there was a Special Puja, Abhishek, Aarti at the temple.

Mean while i met the Founder & Vice President of the Temple Sri. K Krishna Yadav & he was more than willing to tell me about the history of the temple & also told me about the Mandal Puja & other things what were taking place on that particular day.

The Temple was opened to Sai Devotees on June 17th 1997 with a Small Marble Statue of Sai Baba. There were regular Abhishek, Aarti & Puja for the Small statue. But before some months it was found that the small statue of Shirdi Sai Baba had got damaged & the Trust decided to re install a New Big Marble statue of Shirdi Sai Baba & also renovate the temple during this time.

A New Marble statue of Shirdi Sai Baba was installed on Thursday, 24th June 2010. A Small Statue of Sri Ganesh & Dattatreya were also installed in front of Baba's Statue. First floor was newly constructed & directly above the Baba's statue, Another Marble statue of Sai Baba was installed on the first floor. It was made into Dwarakamai. A Palki of Sai Baba is also placed here. It is relatively Calm & quite in the Dwarakamai located in the first floor.

A Dhuni/Fire Place has been installed left side to the Main Entrance of the Sai Mandir. Our wait to see Sai Baba in this temple finally ended when the curtain was moved & we could get the first glimpse of Shirdi Sai Baba. He was in all red. Red Dress, Red Pagdi/Crown. The Jasmine Garland was looking very elegant on him. Baba was simple at his best & our wait to see him was fruitful & we got his blessing.

We attended the Sai Ashtothara Shatanamavali & Madhyan Aarti. After the Aarti, we were happy to know that Sai had arranged for a Special Lunch for us. As it was the final Day of the Mandal Puja, Food was served by the temple Authorities.

As my friend had to rush back to home, we decided to carry the prasad to home instead of consuming it there.

This way we end our program by visiting 4 temples of shirdi Sai Baba. Later in the evening we visited Dilsukh nagar Sai Baba Temple & attended the Dhoop Aarti. But we were not allowed to take the Snaps. The Manager of that temple promised to send us the snaps but till now i have not received the same.

On the Whole my trip to Hyderbad between 02nd - 04th was very fruitful. I was able to visit 9 Temples of Shirdi Saibaba & Take snaps at 7 temples that i have posted on Thursdays & Sundays regularly.
