Chennai Madipakkam Bhairava Sai

Jay Sai Ram

The Saibaba temple in Madipakkam, Chennai was my 2nd visit in February 1999.





For more details:http://saisnaps.blogspot.in/2011/11/shri-bhairava-sai-temple-bharath-nagar.html

This temple of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba has been built on the Samadhi of Bhairavar(Dog) which stayed with the founder of this temple for 14yrs. This temple has been built at Bharath Nagar Main Road at Madipakkam.

A 3.5ft Marble Statue of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba has been installed above the Samadhi of Bhairavar(Dog). A Bronze Statue of Sri Sai Baba in Bhiksha is also installed inside the temple premises. Dwarakamai, Gurusthan, Dhuni, Statue's of Ganeshji, Hanuman, Lakshmi, Nagaraja have been installed in this temple.

Meditation Hall with a 5.5ft Statue of Sri Sai Baba made of Fibre is installed on the first floor & Devotees from all religion are encouraged to perform meditation at the Dhyan Mandir.

Sri Shridi Saidasan is a lover of dogs. He used to visit Shirdi and worship Sri Sai every year. He requested for a dog in his prayer to Sri Sai. In 1976 he bought a walking stick at Shirdi and its handle was in the shape of a dog. He prayed to Sri Sai Baba to give him a live dog not a wooden dog.

It was a wonder that a Muslim boy gave him a ten days old pup at his house. The newborn dog could not even open its eyes. This dog lived with Sri Saidasan for fourteen years. It refused to mate with dogs.

In 1988 Sri Sai Baba appeared in Saidasan's dream and informed him that the dog should not be left uncared for after its life span was over. He ordered Saidasan that a Samadhi should be built over the place where the dog was buried after its demise so that the spirit of the "Bhairavar"will bless the devotees. Sri Baba informed Saidasan that His statue should be kept over the Samadhi.

In 1990 Bhairavar suffered from a serious illness and doctors who treated it were not sure that it would survive. At that time Sri Saidasan fervently prayed to Sri Baba for restoring the dog to normalcy and took it to the Sri Sai Baba temple at Mylapore. It was all a surprise. Effective medicines could not cure the dog. But by the grace of the Almighty Sri Sai Baba it lived for eighteen months. It attained siddhi on the 8th August, a Thursday, 1991. As ordered by Sri Sai Baba Saidasan donated his only house at Madippakam for the construction of the Bhairava Sai
Mandir. 


Speciality of the Bairavar Sai Temple:

As already state the temple which rises to is height of fifty-four feet has sacred Kalasams. The Kalasams are nine in number, denoting nine planets the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter Venus, Saturn, Mars, Mercury, Rahu and Kethu. A visit to the temple has the effect of warding off the evil effects of the nine Grahas. The temple has an Anjaneyar flag as in the Geetha Upadesa Ratha.

The ever-burning fire in this temple was first lit by the original fire brought from Shirdi Sai Sansthan. The perennial fire at Shirdi Sai Sansthan was lit by the Almighty Shri Sai Baba Himself.

The sitting posture of Sri Baba in the Dwarakamayi in this temple represents racial harmony. Before the construction of the temple there were two neem trees in the house-one is for Gurusthan and this is a male tree. Another tree which is now opposite to the Sannidhanam is a female-tree. This is the only temple for Sri Sai Baba with a Bhairavar Samadhi.



About Shirdi Saidasan, the founder of the temple:

Shirdi Sri Saidasan was born on 28.07.1933. He was about to be laid to rest by his parents as he had no movements. Luckily, an old Muslim nurse passed by his house and hearing a commotion and mournful noise came in. Seeing the child still she sensed that it was alive. She informed his grandmother that it was alive. Then she asked his parents to bring hot water in one tub and cold water in another tub. She dipped the child in the hot water first saying 'Allah, Allah' and then in the cold water. She did it twice or three times like this and the child breathed and began to live. There is a spiritual link between the lives of Shirdi Sri Sai Baba and Shirdi Saidasan. After growing up he became a staunch devotee of Sri Sai Baba. He has experienced many miracles in his life and even today Sri Sai Baba performs many miracles in his life. Books in Tamil and English on Shirdi Saidasan's spiritual experiences be available soon.
