Sri Sai Seva Samithi - Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir, Prasadampadu, Ramavarapadu Post, Vijayawada. Andhra Pradesh.

Aum Sai Ram

This is the 7th Temple visited by us during our 10th Pilgrimage to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temples at Vijayawada on Saturday 22nd Oct 2011.


After Visiting the Sri Sai Baba Sannidi at Sri Satyanarayana Swamy Temple in Krishna Lanka, we took a short break & had our Morning Breakfast. It is very tough to find a Pure Veg Hotel in Vijayawada City & all the dishes served are very spicy, hot & salty. We finally stopped at a restaurant near to Benz Circle & completed our Morning Breakfast & tea by around 9am.

We then Started towards Eluru Road in Search of Sai Baba temples & came across the Arch to this Sai Baba Temple at Prasadampadu. This temple of Sri Sai Baba was built & inaugurated on 17th Febraury 2005 & this is in a Lane opposite to Radha Madhav Toyota Showroom on Eluru Road. A Arch with Sai's Baba's Cement Statue can been seen from the Road opposite to the Showroom. On Taking the Lane inside this road the Baba's temple is just 50mtrs from the Arch/Main Road.

Sri K Chidambara Rao the President & Land Donor of this temple & his family are the main reason behind construction of this Sai Baba Temple at Prasadampadu. Mrs. Chidambara Rao being a Staunch devotee of Sai Baba once saw 4 Sadhu's in front of her house at around 11am. When Enquired the sadhu's said that they are 5 in number including their guruji & would like to know if she can provide them with the after noon meal.

She then thought that i must be dattatreya with his 4 assistants & told them tht she could prepare the lunch by 1pm & serve them & asked them to return by 1pm to have lunch.

As argeed upon the sadhu's along with their guruji came home by 1pm to have their mid day meal. Due to the unrgency in completing the cooking Mrs. Chidambara rao forgot to prepare the Rasam but she served them the other food prepared by her. Though all the food was served, the guruji was more keen on the Rasam that was not prepared. It was a testing moment for Mrs. Chidambara rao.

After the Lunch, She wanted to give them all 10 Rupees each towards dakshina & brought the money to the Guruji. On Seeing this the guruji got enraged & shouted loudly that she had owed his lot of money & she has to return it in the form of Land that is vacant near her home. with out taking the dakshina, he returned.

Mrs. Chidambara Rao was totally confused & started asking different saints & astrologer about the significance of this event. Soon she came to know that it was indeed Sai Baba who wanted her to build a temple at a place shown by him. As she came near to the present temple property that was vacant before some time, she saw a very old Neem tree in the property & thought that this property is indeed the best Place to build a Sai Baba Temple.

After telling about her wish to her Husband, Mr. Chidambara Rao along with the village seniors discussed & brought this property to be built into a Sai Baba Temple. Thus this temple was built due to the efforts of Sri Chidambara Rao & Family.
