Sri Sai Baba Mandir, Sampige Road, Malleshwaram, Bangalore

Aum Sai Ram

To see Complete set of 6 snaps of this temple visit:
Sri Sai Baba Mandir, Sampige Road, Malleshwaram, Bangalore

This is the 8th & final Temple visited by me on my 3rd Piligrimage to Sai Temples in Bangalore on 10th October 2010. After Completing Darshan at Harishchandra Ghat/ Sri Rama Puram Sai Baba Temple, I wanted to come back to my home. It was already nearly 12:45pm & i was sure that all the Sai Baba temple would have been closed for the After Noon Break.

I took the Sampige Road, Malleshwaram Route towards the home, when i came close to this Famous Sai Temple, I could see that the Door was Half closed & that the Cleaning Staff of the temple were busy in Cleaning the Sanctum. I went in a Hurry to Have a Quick Darshan of Sai Baba. I was told that i cannot do the Pradakshina as the Staff has already started to clean & they would not allow any one around the Sanctum.

I just tried my luck again & asked if i could atleast touch the paduka of Shirdi Sai Baba & have his blessings. After Initial Thought the Staff agreed to let me in only to touch the Paduka. I touched the Paduka & i felt happy to do the same. This is the very first Sai Baba temple i had been in Bangalore before 10 Years during 1999 - 2000.

The atmosphere looked almost the Same. Baba was looking even more Matured & i could see that Baba was wearing a Beautiful White Silk Robe for the Sunday Darshan. I have many memories attached with this temple in Bangalore.

Before 4 years there were no Sai Baba Temples in my Home Town Tumkur. The Nearest Sai Baba Temple would be this temple at Malleshwaram which is around 70kms from my home. During my College Semester Holidays I used to take a Train at 7:20am at Tumkur & Reach Malleshwaram by 9:20am. Then Walk down to this temple which is around 2 - 3 kms from the Station & it used to take 15 - 20 minutes to do So. I used to Reach Temple by 10:00 Am.

Go Around Sai Baba Couple of times. Some times i used to Miss the Count of No of Pradakshina Done to Sai. Then i used to go to the Meditation Hall in the Basement of the Temple. I used to meditate for about 1 hr & also take some rest during that period. Attend the Sai Baba Aarti at 12:00pm. After the completion of Aarti, I used to Take the Prasad in a Cover & Run towards the Railways Station as my return train would be at 1:50pm.

Some times some regular Devotees would recognised me & were generous enough to Drop me to the Railway Station. Before 5 Years it used to be a Big Effort to get Darshan of Sai Baba.

Thanks to Sai, Now my Home town has 2 Sai Baba Temples & 2 More yet to open in another 6 - 12 Months Time.

Even today when ever i visit this temple, i just cherish all those wonderful moments & those Efforts to See Sai Baba.

There is a Meditation Hall as Said earlier in the Basement of the Temple. It is opened from 7am till 10am. Then during evening for an Hour or So. A Laminated photo graph of Sai Baba along with a Diya has been kept in the Hall.

Special Abhishekam & Alankaram is done on Every Thursdays & Sundays & on Special Days Like New Year, Sankaranthi, Ugadi, Ram Namavi, Guru Poornima, Punya Thithi.

Blood Donation Camp & Free medical & Eye Camp are arranged once in a Year During the Temple Anniversary. Prasadam Served at this temple is really tasty. There are few Make Shift Shops near to the temple, Selling Puja Articles, Reading Material, Cds & Photo Frams of Sai Baba. Beautiful Flower Garland is Also available. The Prices are Sky High & people selling the Flowers & Articles near come down with the Pricing.

So it would be Advisible to Buy Garlands at the Malleshwaram Market, which is less than 200 mtrs from the temple. People interested to Buy Spiritual Material can Visit Giri Brothers Stores at 5th Cross, Sampige Road, Malleshwaram. It is Near to the Underpass Build Across Sampige Road.

All these Pleasent Memories have brought about a Huge Change in my Life style & also the belief that some one is taking care of me is brings Satisfaction with me.

Young Sai Devotees can plan a visit to this temple in groups to receive Blessings from Sai Baba & later on Hang out either at Cafe Coffee Day or Pizza Corner which arejust opposite to the Temple.

Sai Baba Temple, Madurai, Tamilnadu.

A New Beginning

The Naga Sai Temple at Madurai is one of the oldest temples dedicated to Shri Shirdi Sai Baba. Historical records indicate that the Temple exists since pre-independence days from 1945.

The temple was started by an eminent gathering of Sai devotees, who came together to form the Sri Sai Baba Bhakta Sabha. The Association was registered under the Societies Act, 1945.

Its most active members were Shri A Rajamannar Naidu and Dr Suryanarayanan, who were members of the All India Sai Samaj, started by Shri Narasimhaji Swamy in Mylapore, Chennai.

3rd Convention of All India Sai Samaj

The third convention of the All India Sai Samaj was held in Madurai in 1949, It was a grand affair with the personal organization of Shri S Rajamannar Naidu and Dr Suryanarayanan. The convention was blessed by the presence of Shri Narasimhaji Swami himself.

Inception

The temple was initially located within the campus of Sree Meenkshi Sundareshwarar Temple's Mela Adi Veedhi, until 1959.

In 1964, Shri A Rajamannar Naidu and Ramarathina Ammal family donated 35 cents of land at Gandhi Nagar for the construction of a temple of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba.

The new temple was a beehive of activities since its consecration in 1964. And was witness to a number of events and festivals.

Thousands of Sai devotees thronged the temple festival days, and it became a popular destination for visitors to Madurai.

1964 Convention of All India Sai Samaj

A historic occasion at the Temple was the All India Convention of the All India Sai Samaj at the temple in 1964. The convention was graced by the presence of Chief Minister Bhakthavatsalam, Madurai Collector TN Seshan and Sai Devotees Basheer Baba and Hegde.

Subsequent to the demise of both the founding trustees, the then Deputy Collector of Madurai, Mr G Govindaraju (son-in-law of A Rajamannar Naidu) took over the administration of the Temple. He took a lot of efforts to convert the tiled roof building into a huge structure. The services of Professional architects were engaged, and substantial funds were spent in structural changes.

But, a residential neighborhood, and the lack of an approach from the Main Road were major deterrents in the development of the temple. For almost 54 years, the lack of funds, and lack of proper infrastructure became a major issue.

Change of Management

At this juncture, Mrs Zeenath Kanagaraj Sai, belonging to the third generation of Raja Mannar Naidu's family assumed charge as the Secretary of the Temple.

Baba's blessings guided her in this daunting challenge, by transferring land to Arvind Eye Hospital, who proposed to build a charity eye hospital and research center.

A helping hand in her endeavor was 80 year old Shri LL Ramamoorthy (Vice President), who has ably assisted and guided her through every step of this service to Baba.

A devoted team of trustees soon started to take shape under the leadership of Mrs Zeenath Sai. One of the major decisions of the Trust was to move the temple out of the present premises.

A New Location

The major turning point came in 2003, with the acquisition of a 7 cent area on the Main Road in Andalpuram, on the T P K Road. The construction of the new temple began in right earnest.

A major contribution of Rs.5 lakhs from Mr Chandrasekhar and Malar Family gave the thrust to the construction activity. And the entire structure was ready in three years by 2006.

The temple was consecrated on August 31st 2006, with the performance of Kumbhabhishekam*, which was witnessed by a large number of devotees.

Today, the temple is witness to a number of festivals. And there is a continuous stream of devotees on all days, especially on Thursdays and Sundays.
