This is the Fifth Spiritual Centre visited by me during my 4th Pilgrimage to Sai Temples at Bangalore on 08th & 09th Dec 2010. On Thursday 09th Dec 2010, after visiting the Sai Baba Temple at Cambridge layout, Ulsoor i proceeded towards Sri Shirdi Sai Dhanvantari Dhyana Mandira at Jaya Nagar 9th Block near to the Very Famous Hanuman Temple at Ragi Gudda.
My 4th Pilgrimage Started with a visit to
Shirdi Sai Baba Temple, Shantiniketan Layout, Arakere
Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore.
Shirdi Sai Ashram Trust, Arakere,

I was in Jaya Nagar for some work & in mean time, i was very eager to visit atleast one Sai Baba temple in the After noon for the Aarti. After my Work got completed at 3rd Block Jayanagar, I proceeded towards Sai Mandir next to GNR Kalyana mantap at 9th Block. But due to the severe traffic & various Infracture development taking place at Jayanagar, I missed the road & ended up towards the Famous Hamuman Temple at Ragi gudda.
I enquired about the routes to go back but it was totally confusing. Then i remembered about Sai Dhyan Mandira which was on my list & as per the Address, it said that it was near to Ragi Gudda Hanuman Temple. So I entered a Shop near to the temple & asked the Shop Keeper for the Address. He was not sure about the Address.
Then some boys who were standing next to me in the shop came forward & asked me to show the Address. They were able to identify the building very quickly as it houses Cafe Coffee Day Outlet. I think the Boys were regular customers of the Outlet. One of them came along with me in his bike to show me the place too. I was very happy to see his quick response & thanked him for his gesture. He said to me that he visited the Coffee Day Outlet quite often but never ever saw the Dhyan Mandir.
I walked towards the building & to my surprise the Dhyan Mandir was at the 3rd Floor with out any lift facility. I had to walk all through the 3 floors to enter the Dhyan Mandir. First it looked a bit tiring to me, but once upon entering the Sanctum of Sai Baba it was all Joy, Happiness & Peacefulness.
There was a couple who were about to leave the place after their darshan of Sai Baba. Once after the couple left the place, there were only 3 of us. I took some rest for a minute or So & then touched the feet of the Small Sai Baba Idol kept in the Hall. I prayed for a Minute. I walked around the Hall where Photo Frames of 52 eminent Sai Devotees were placed. After having an Initial Glance at the photo frames, I was able to identify few of them & was happy that i too was able to identify some of the Important Sai Devotees.
I spoke to the Incharge of the Dhyan Mandir & came to know that the Owner of this Dhyan Mandir Sri R Sathish was the 3rd person sitting in that Hall. I wished him from a Distance. Then I took Sai Satcharita & Randomly read a chapter. I felt peace of Mind & Baba told me in that chapter that never worry for the out come. Just work for the Cause & you will surely get the Results. I was really happy reading this chapter.
After taking the Thirth Prasad, I went near to Sri R Sathish & spoke to him to know more about the Dhyan Mandir. Sri Shirdi Sai Dhanvantari Dhyana Mandira was opened to Sai Devotees on 18th March 2010. Ganapathi & Dattatreya Homa were performed & after the rituals were completed the Dhyana Mandira was Inaugrated for the Sai Devotees.
Sri R Sathish belongs to Telugu Speaking family but was born & brought up at Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. In 1979, his family got shifted to Bangalore & and a house was constructed at the present property. Sri Sathish worked as an Hardware Engineer & Hardware Supplier for 24 years before quitting his business & starting this Dhyan Mandira.
With the Property price raising & a need for Commercial complex in the locality, Sathish planned to Construct a Commercial complex with 3 floors & a Cellar after demolishing the old house which was present in this property. Bhoomi Poojan for the was performed on 22nd June 2007.
The Complex took shape very well & tenents started to occupy the building. But Sri Sathish always has some thing special in his mind towards Sai & kept the top most floor empty. After visiting Shirdi numerous times & after getting some inspiration from Family members & especially his maternal uncle, he finally decided to make the top most floor as Dhyan Mandir for shirdi Sai Devotees. This way on 18th March 2010 the Dhyan Mandir was opened to Sai Devotees.
