Shirdi Sai Baba temple Tanzania

Dear Sai devotees
When I was coming to Tanzania I was searching on net for all details of Sai temple but could not find anything, all I could get was a devotees name appearing in various forum from Tanzania so I got in touch with the devotee and learnt there is a Sai temple .My joy knew no bound as I always thought whether I will be blessed to visit Sai temple where I am going.

 

The day we reached Tanzania, it was Sunday and with grace of Baba the First Thursday Baba called us for HIS Darshan, it was nothing less than the blessing of Saima in such an unknown place.I have already uploaded the Photo of Baba's statue of Tanzania in my previous post.

I always aspired that Sai temple authorities and devotees indulge in Sai seva of uploading the details on Sai temples on Internet.That would have made it easier,especially for the visitor devotees who are traveling to new places or are looking for Sai temple in a totally new place.


With the above view in my mind often, I thought to put the details of all the Sai temple across the globe. And, I am really happy to acknowledge that many Sai devotees have come forward and are ready to help me by providing informations as this is a big task and need involvement of as many Sai bhakt from various part of globe. My dear sister Hetal is also trying her best to give me Sai temple details and asking her friends to come forward. I request readers who are reading this post if they wish to help they please mail me at my ID.



Before I paste the photos of Tanzania temple and all its detail ,I shall like to write a incident that took place on my birthday.

(Shirdi Sai Baba statue at Sai mandir Tanzania )






















This Tuesday, on my Birthday, the first thing we did was to go to our Baba and seek HIS blessing .A day before my birthday, I was thinking what will be Baba’s surprise for me on my Birthday? He has always blesses me on special days in HIS unusual manner and I have witnessed and experienced over the years .This has strengthen my believe that Baba will definately bless.With this thought I slept. On 23rd morning I took cake and went to Sai temple.

I was wearing a pink color suit and my boys had off in their school .As soon as we entered the temple and looked at Baba my happiness knew no bound .I saw Baba in pink dress beautifully dressed. My boys who are not so aware to notice such things due to their playful activities also noticed and pointed to me .I was thrilled and my day was blessed. I experienced HIS blessing there and than in the temple and my day was made.


















It might sound very normal but I am sure for Sai bhakt who look for small- small blessing of Baba in each and everything would agree how much does it matter!And it meant a lot to me. I am pasting the photo of Sai Baba taken on 23rd.

Not only this .My good Sai friend Kouwshigan gifted a beautiful digital photo of Baba on my Birthday and it is beyond compliment -extremely beautiful. Words cannot express .Baba looks like He will come out of the computer or will just speak. What else can I ask more from my deva? He blessed and blessed immensely ,my family ,my close ones ,so many Sai friends, Sai devotees whom I don’t know personally poured their heartfelt wishes what else I can ask for ?Truly blessed day .
























I shall share with you this photo soon as little work has to be done and I am sure all Sai bhakt will preserve it in their Sai folder to keep it forever .

Dear readers
When I begin to write on Sai Temples across the globe I was perplexed from where I should start? The very first thought of course was to start from Shirdi ,the Holy land ,where Baba spent more than 60 years .I just started drafting then the inner voice told that I should add something more .While going through my folders in my computer I came across one photo which I had taken during my last visit to India to my parents place .The find was so appropriate that I thought to start from that and to add simultaneously more detail on Sai temple on to it .

We know Shirdi was a small and remote village in AhmedNagar Jilha taluka Rahata .Now it is no more remote or a village after the advent of Sri Sai Maharaj it has changed completely .This village which is situated 8 miles from bank of Godavari was earlier called as Shiladhi.

How fortunate is this land where Baba came ,stayed ,lived and took Mahasamdhi in this holy land !If we break the word Shiladhi the two words SHILA and DHI has these meanings.SHILA means-mountain and Dhi-means Budhi.So Shiladhi means that village who's budhi is steady ,calm and serene as a mountain . And as years passed by this Shiladhi came to be known as Shirdi.One very interesting fact I shall like to narrate here which Baba said in this following incident.

Moreshwar Pradhan bought painter Shyam Rao Jayker to Shirdi to paint 3 portraits of Baba .Jayaker stayed in Shirdi for 9 months and every time he painted a portrait Baba would tear it up, finally he painted a beautiful portrait which is now kept in Shirdi museum.Baba smiled and said " Banao aur Banao Mae tho gali gali maie rahne wala houn.(Make more and more portraits for I am going to stay in many a lane) .How true !!

We all witness and find Baba's word true like gold, we find his temple ,his photo in the smallest or remotest lanes all over India and other parts of world.

This fits true to this photo which I have uploaded here and I found while I was searching my computer as mentioned above .

This was not noticed till last year .This year when I went to my parents place a hill station ,where till last few years no one was knowing much about Sai Baba, in just a span of few years I find every third person wearing Baba's locket and praying Shirdi Sai. In the hill station there is no individual /independant Sai temple but Baba is present in homes of HIS so many devotees.

This was very exciting and happy moment for me to see Sai Baba's photo in this temple of goddess Gurna.Before I write more I would like to mention the importance and divine blessing of this temple.

I do not recollect when it started but must be more than 30 years that this temple was built by the local people for the safety of the passengers ,the road to this hill station was very difficult to travel ,every now and than there would be news of some accident.The turns and curves of road ,land slide,rough terrain, poor road condition would make it tough for passenger to reach home safetly .

The spot where this temple stand was one of the deadly curve where the whole bus or any other vehicle would fall down the valley and no one would survive.With Goddess Gurna's guidance-blessing and efforts of local people this temple was built on that spot.This temple no one can miss as its the only road which connects with the town and outside world.

Those who would go out of the town would stop by this temple, seek blessing of goddess and than only move ahead, same would be followed when returning back to town (entering the town).Those who would abide by this would be safe and reach safetly and those who jeered or did not follow would face some or the other discomfort throughout the journey(in some cases break failure /breakdown of vehicle etc etc...one can imagine anything ).This is the blessing of this Gurna temple.

Whenever I would go with my family we would also stop, take blessing of goddess Gurna and move to our home ,this time when we were returning back to Tanzania I noticed that on the wall there was picture of Shirdi Sai Baba,I was enthralled and speechless ,never had I imagined that I will see Baba on this spot of hill.I immediately went to car and bought camera to bring my Baba with me here with goddess Gurna.

No wonder why I had a inner voice telling to look for something more.Now when I recollect Baba's vachan " Banao aur Banao Mae tho gali gali maie rahne wala houn." I am speechless to explain anything more ... except this that Baba has reached not only gali but many more places unimagined by human mind.



Not only this I recollect I had read ,many a times while Baba conversed with Mhalsapathy he would tell him about the future of Shirdi. Baba would say "Aree Bhagat this little village will become a famous place of pilgrimage .Huge palatial buildings will come up. Pilgrims will flock to this place from far and wide .Highly placed officials and famous people will visit Shirdi.There will be much pomp and show ,Bhagat .In fact people will be crawling like ants”. What to say for this!!This time when we were in Shirdi we witnessed it completely, we all were like ants crawling for Baba's darshan where the queue began where it was leading nothing could be judged!Never ending crowd of devotees would keep pouring in, whether it was day or night ,devotees from all sphere of life were present for glimpse of our Sathguru Sai Baba.

While I am writing this I have goose bumps all over and a thrilled feeling how Baba indicated all this years back and we are reading this and witnessing it now .We may have not witnessed what Baba said at that time to Mhalsapati ,but we are witnessing what He had said .

We are fortunate to be chosen by Baba otherwise when I think of my life without Baba it has no meaning ,no charm no value. How blessed we are all to be pulled by Baba in his fold and leading our life with highly powerful/divine loving Grace of our Mother Sai.

Mentioning about future I also recollect once to Shama and Tarkhad (one very interesting post related with Tarkhad I have already posted in my other blog ) Baba spoke of the future of Shirdi and said that "Golden Days are ahead of us." How true...one can witness all this today.

And so it came true and people from all over the world come to Shirdi.For once they come they have irresistible urge to come again and again and for me I wish to stay back there forever at the Feet of my Sai.

Request for Shirdi Sai Baba temple's details.

Sairam to All,

This is a Herculean task to cover all the temples and centers because Baba is omnipresent ,but I will try to cover as many as possible .

This is a idea blessed by Sainath and I am trying my best to go for it .I request Sai devotees,Sai temple authorities,trustees,sevakaris to come forward and extend their help by passing me the information related to Sai temple they know about and about Sai temple near by where they reside.

I am giving here the pointers for what all information I shall be seeking for the temples .Please note these and come forward for this Sai seva and mail me the details as and when Sai devotee come across.

I request Sai temple authorities to give the details through e-mail along with Photo of Sai temple so that it is one collective detail about the concerned temple instead of just giving the link of their website and asking me to copy from there. Sai Ram to All and May Baba guide us to carry this task properly in his guidance.
