After visiting the Famous Sai Baba Mandir at East Point Colony, we headed towards M V P colony in search of the Next Sai Baba Mandir. As my Brother in Law had already visited this temple before few weeks with regard to some personal work in that locality, it was easy for us to locate the same easily.
It is basically a Temple for Sri Siddi Vinayaka, Sri Mukteshwara, Parvati Devi, Bhakta Anjaneya Swamy & Kala Bhairava. It was established in 1982.
On 27th November 1996 the Main Statue of Sri Sai Baba was installed at Sai Baba's Sanctum. Dwarakamai & Dhuni was installed along with the Statue of Sai Baba.
12 Jyothir Linga replica Shiva Statue was installed in the temple Premises on 29th January 2007.
We had the Darshan of Sri Baba at his sanctum & at Dwarakamai. As it was a thursday, there was a decent crowd of Sai devotees visiting the temple. Some Prasad consisting of a sweet, biscuit & vegetable rice was given to one & all devotees along with theerth prasad.
We then visited the Sanctums of Ganesh, Mukteshwar, Parvati, Kala Bhairava, Anjaneya, 12 Jyothir Linga. I was able to meet the Vice President of the temple association, Sri M P Satya Kumar, a Retired gentle from Andhra University here at Visakhapatnam & he told he lot of facts & other important information on how the baba's statue was installed etc.
It was a nice conversation or rather a satsang of its kind while sharing our life experience with each other. After the Meeting, As it was getting late for my brother in law, we headed back home.
