Respected Sai Bandhus,
After 15 months or so, I am going to Chennai again to visit Baba. Last time I missed visiting Annababa Mandir. This time I want to visit it too.
Pray for me that my visit would be a fruitful visit and I get wonderful darshan of baba.
I will share my experiences of the trip with you all.
Thank you.
with regards,
Prasanthi.

Hello Nimmiji, Keerthiji and Sanuji,
Thank you all for your wonderful wishes. I had a very good experience in Chennai. I will post the address and phone numbers here by tomorrow.
In my first trip there, I visited Mylapore Temple, Injambakkam temple, Shenoy Nagar temple and Mel Maruvattur.
This time I visited Parthasarathy Temple (Triplicane), Annababa Mandir (Kumaran Chavadi Stop, Poonamalle High Road), Dakshina Shirdi temple (Shirdi Baba temple near Annababa mandir) and Injambakkam temple.
I have the photos of Dakshina Shirdi temple. I will share those photos with you all.
I have taken the I went to Annababa Mandir on Saturday afternoon at 4 pm. Mandir is open from 6 am to 12 pm and 4 pm to 8 pm. Mandir is good as such. Somehow the treatment of the people looking the temple there is not so good. Me, my brother and friends didn't feel like we visited baba temple but something else. Whatever be the reason, I felt very bad. Heart in heart I spoke with Baba that is this your temple? I didn't feel that you are here though I have great respect for this mandir as I read many good experiences of the devotees here. I do not want to share my bad experience because I feel it not right. I do not want to create any bad impression of the temple. Everyone's experience might not be the same. So please consider this as an individual experience. Don't know for what reason baba made me feel so.
But one advice. If you want to see Kumar Baba (to whom baba asked to leave his job and look after his temple), go to the temple on Thursday only.
With a sense of dissatisfaction and disappointment, we came out. I enquired the guards if there is any temple near by. To our surprise, they told me that there is a baba temple nearby, walkable distance. We went there and I have seen Lord Venkaiah Swamy painting on Dhuni. I felt great peace. (I actually wanted to go to Nellore and there to Golagamudi to visit Venkaiah Swamy if baba doesn't give permission to go to Chennai). The volunteers there are students and they allowed us to take photos and they explained us about the temple and we chanted baba naam, Om Sai Sri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai, Om Sai Sri Sai, Jaya Jaya Sai', for some time. They shared their experiences with us. They allowed us to do Mangal Arathi to baba. It was a great joy.
I will write it in detail when I share the photos too.

Respected Sai Bandhus,
These are the contact details of the people who can answer you about Dakshina Shirdi Temple near Poonamalle Highway, Chennai.
Sri Krishna Kumar (93801-36026) Temple In-charge
Sri Meenakshi Sundar -- 044-28344820
He is the one who has constructed the temple. He can speak Tamil, Hindi and English. He can tell us about the experiences behind the construction of the temple.
As I went there for a very brief visit, I cannot ring to him.
Address of the temple: Sri Dakshina Shirdi, VGN Avenue, Kumaran Chavadi, Poonamalle, Chennai - 56.
Shivashankar Baba stays in the lane at the backside of the temple and he visits this temple on Jan 26th every year. Jan 28th is his b'day.
Every Thursday, Sri Meenakshi Sundar visits the temple and from 10 am there will be recital of Vishnu Sahasranama and bhajans. Evening there will be 'Annadanam'.
In Vijay TV, Sunday Morning at 8 AM, you can listen to Meenakshi Shankar's sessions.
One volunteer whose name is also Shankar, takes care of the temple activities. His number is 93809-48656. He can speak Tamil only.
I posted the photos of Annababa temple (outside photos only. We cannot take photos inside the temple) and Dakshina Shirdi Temple to Raghav Mahajanji.
Thank you.
Prasanthi
