This is the 4th Temple visited by us during our 10th Pilgrimage to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temples at Vijayawada on Saturday 22nd Oct 2011.
My 10th Pilgrimage at Vijayawada Started with a Visit to:
Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandiram, Benz Circle.
Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandiram, Atmakur Road, Mangalagiri Mandal.
Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandiram, Kolanakonda, Tadepalli Mandal.
Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandiram, Benz Circle.
Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandiram, Atmakur Road, Mangalagiri Mandal.
Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandiram, Kolanakonda, Tadepalli Mandal.
We started early at around 6:15am from a Sai Devotees home at Tadepalli to visit Sai Baba Temples for the Day. Soon after crossing the New Bridge across Krishna river towards vijayawada, we were able to see a small signboard indicating the directions to this Sai Baba temple at Nehru Nagar.
Actually one has to go through Krishna Lanka area to visit this temple. But the other way to visit this temple would be to stop at the entrance of the bridge when coming from vijayawada & see to the right side to see a small sign board & a small opening in the barrier. There are few steps to go down to reach this temple of Sri Sai Baba.
It is around 3kms from Vijayawada Railway Station towards guntur. A Small 4ft Marble Statue of Sai Baba has been installed on a elevated platform in this temple. A Temple for Hanuman, Sri Rama & Shiva was built before 3 decades in this area & Sai Baba's Sanctum was installed & inaugurated on 19th April 2002.
A Small Statue of Ganeshji, Dattatreya & Durgadevi has been installed in the Sai Baba temple premises. Dhuni is also installed to the left of the temple. This dhuni is unique in this temple & it is a bit tilted towards the back.
All the Aarti, Abhishek & Puja are performed regularly in this temple. As we entered the temple, the priest was preparing for the Aarti & we were lucky to perform Baba's Kakad Aarti. Mrs. Padma Karunakaram sang some devotional songs on Sai Baba after the Aarti. On thursday & special days annadanam is performed in the temple premises. On Thursday Palki seva is perfomed to Sai Baba.
Rama Navami, Guru Pournima, Navarathri, Sai Punyathithi are performed grandly in this temple. For Navarathi Special Puja, Kumkumarchana is performed to Durga devi.
Later we started for the Sesha Sai Baba Mandiram at Bapanayya Nagar in Krishna Lanka. More on this temple in the coming pilgrimage series article.
