Sri Vaidhya Sai Kamakshi Dattatreya Mandir, Rajahmundry

Aum Sai Ram.

This is the Last Article that was penned by Mrs. Padma Karunakaram during February 2012 but was never posted as the details for the same never reached me till date. After completing all my articles on Pilgrimage series, I thought that it would be the right moment to complete this long pending article by collecting the data related to this temple of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba that Mrs. Padma visited.

Sri Vaidhya Sai Kamakshi Dattatreya Mandir was built by its founders Smt. Anusuyamma & Sri. Vavilala Narasimha Swamy & Inaugurated on 10th February 1989. A 2ft Marble Statue of Sri Sai Baba with the statues of Dattatreya, Ganeshji & Sri Kamakshi Devi are installed in this temple Premises.

Being a Govt School Teacher, Sri Narasimha Swamy took voluntary retirement in 1985 & came to Rajahmundry to start spreading the Grace of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba. He started Sri Sai Prarthana Samaj & performed daily abhishek to Sri Sai Baba along with 108 Sai Nama Japam, Lalitha Sahasranamam & Vishnu Sahasranamam.

With the Grace of Sri Sai Baba a Temple Sanctum with a Statue of Sri Sai Baba was installed in their Home on 10th february 1989. The Daily Sai Nama Japam with chanting of Lalitha & Vishnu Sahasranam Continued till 1995 when on the Night of 14th April 1995, Akshatha fell on top of Mrs Anusuyamma at night. She Just Ignored & thought it to be a Accident of some sort & left it as it is.

On 15th April 1995, It was seen tht Sai Baba feet in the Statue being covered with the Udi. Both mrs & Mr. Narasimha Swamy didn't beleive & just continued with their daily rituals of Sai Nama Japam & Chanting. within 19 days the complete statue got covered with Udi & 1000's of Sai Devotees from all over Rajahmundry, East Godavari Dist & through out the state started visiting this temple. Even the Media & New Papers published articles related to this Miracle of Sri Sai Baba.

Sri. Narasimha Swamy was very scared with the phenomena & the crowds visiting Sri Shirdi Sai Baba. He requested baba to stop the udi, So that he can be an Humble servant of Sai Baba & not fall prey to popularity or other worldly things.

Patients started visiting the temple & the Udi has a Miracle cure to all their Ailments. Hence the Name Sri Vaidhya Sai was given to this temple. Later on A Statue of Dattatreya & Sri Kamakshi was installed in the temple premises.

Sri Kamakshi fulfills all the desires of the Devotees visiting this temple & Nithya Nuthana Seri Ceremony is being performed to Kamakshi Amma for the past 5 years & Daily a New Saree is being work by Devi that is gifted to her by Devotees.

All the 4 Aarti's are performed regularly on daily basis in this temple premises. Sri Rama Navami, Guru Pournima, Sai Punyathithi, Vijayadasami is celebrated grandly in this temple.

A 11 Days Special Puja is performed in the temple which commences of the Vijaya Dasami Day & last for 11 Days. Annadanam is performed on all the 11 days & around 8000 Sai Devotees are fed with Prasad Meals during these 11 days of Ceremony.
