After Completing my 17th Pilgrimage of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple at Visakhapatnam, Bheemunipatnam & East Godavari Dist. in 2 Parts between 18th Jul 2013 - 26th Jul 2013 & 28th Aug 2013 - 02nd Sep 2013, I took some time out from temple visit to take the blessings of Sadguru Sri Shirdi Sai Baba at Shirdi. I was also busy with the Ganesh Chauturthi, Dusshera & Diwali Festival.
I got chance to perform some charity activites in between during the Break. After the Dusshera Celebrations ending with Vijaya Dashami & Sai Baba's Punyathithi, I was yet again invited to perform a Puja at a Client's home & also to perform Charity activity at a Near by Govt. School at Hosur.
Hosur, an Industrial Town at the border of Tamilnadu & Karnataka is around 55kms from Bangalore City. Hosur is prominent for its Industries with Industry majors like TVS, Titan, Ashok Leyland & Many other Automotive Industries.
As the Industrial Boom, continued in the last 2 Decade, Lot of Families Migrated to Hosur. Those staying in Bangalore & want to relaxed & peaceful life also started opting to Re locate to hosur. So due to rapid infrastructure development, Lot of Malls, Shops, Amenities Centre, Hospital & even Temple rose around this town.
