This is the Third temple visited by me during my 4th Pilgrimage to Sai Temples at Bangalore on Wednesday, 08th Dec 2010.
My Day Started with a visit to
Shirdi Sai Baba Temple, Shantiniketan Layout, Arakere
Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore.
Shirdi Sai Ashram Trust, Arakere,
Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore.
After visiting the above two temples, As i was held up with personal work for the rest of the day, i could not visit any more temple in the surrounding area in the after noon. I was busy with work & finally ended up visiting my cousin sister's place by 3:00pm. It was not the regular stop i usually take to relax but i really don't know what made me to call her & find out about her status. She was at home & was on leave for some time due to some health problems with in the family. I reached home near K R Puram, Had lunch & took a small nap.
Later on i got up by 5:00pm to start the visit again but i was asked to accompany her to some near by hospital where my aunt has been admitted for some operation. So i had no choice but to accompany her & it is always said, Doing some such timely help is more important than visiting temples. I started with her & we went to the hospital. After the formalities & visiting my aunt, we started back from the hospital.
I was half hearted as i had covered only 2 temples the entire day. I was cursing my self for not getting up in time early in the morning & because of that i am not able to make much of a progress in visiting Sai Baba Temples as planned. Any Ways Baba being Omni Potent, heard my rumblings & answered aptly. I casually spoke to her & enquired about Sai Temples in her Locality. She was interested & was speaking to me regarding various temples & finally i asked if she knows about this temple near K R Puram Railway Station at Dooravani Nagar. Stars were smiling at me & she told me that this is the regular temple she visits & that this temple is less than 3 kms from her home. I got a kind of rejuvenation hearing to this & asked her to take me to the temple.
It was already 8:00pm when we finally reached this temple & the temple authorities were about to close the temple for the day. I requested the Temple Purohit & Temple Manager regarding briefing me some details on this temple & after getting convienced the Manager of the temple Sri P Venkata Ramana Reddy was very kind enough to let me know about all the things about the temple. P V Sir was very interested in hearing to the various temples visited by me & was expressing his eagerness in accompanying me in one such Piligrimage. I hope to take him on one such journey in the near future.
Bhoomi poojan for this temple was performed on 18th Nav 2002. Sai Baba temple was inaugurated on 22nd Nov 2009 by Sri Ammula Sambashiva Rao, Kakinada, A P.
The temple was built with support from public by Sri Shirdi Saibaba Seva Samithi(R). Dattatreya Idol is present in front of the Baba temple. A Nandi Idol is present outside the Saibaba Mandir as in Shirdi.
Dhuni is situated on the Left side at the Entrance of the Sai Baba Mandir. The Sacred fire was brought from Sai Baba Temple, BTM Layout, Bangalore. BTM Layout Sai Baba Temple is very famous in this Locality & also considered as oldest temple.
Nanda deep is situated in the meditation hall situated in the ground floor of the Sai Baba Mandir.
At the back side of the temple an Ant hill (Nagara Hutta) is present. That is why the temple is Named as Naga Sai Mandira.
The Marble Statue of Sai Baba is really very beautiful & Baba was wearing a Beautiful White Silk Dress. The Samadhi was covered with Woolen Shawl. The Black Granite Wall behind the Statue is Very reflective.
