    Dear Sai Brothers and sisters,
     
     
     
    It was a long dream for me to visit rupena agrahara baba temple in
    bangalore, especially because we can see sai devotees house in shirdi, but
    those who are less fortunate and are unable to go to shirdi , it is a
    blessing in disguise as Shivamma tayee a devotee of baba was in shirdi when
    baba was in flesh and blood and has built temple as directed by baba. will
    write about the visit in later mail
     
    A very very special thanks to Manishaji for writing about baba's temple and
    miracles in her blog
     
    *ADD: SRI SHIRDI SAI BABA MUTT
    NGR LAYOUT, RUPENA AGRAHARA
    BOMMANAHALLI
    OPP HOSUR MAIN ROAD
    MADIVALA POST
    PH 080 - 25732522 & MR.VENKAT RAJU 9945531187*
     
     
    Shivamma Thayee became a dedicated disciple of Shirdi Sai Baba at a young
    age. The remains of her modest ashram is situated in Bangalore on the road
    to Madras, where her tomb lays under the main Mandir, dedicated to Shri
    Shirdi Sai Baba. At Saionline we encourage Shirdi Baba devotees to take the
    necessary procedures to preserve whatever is left of Shree Shivamma's
    Thayees ashram, which is soon threatened of being lost and forgotten from
    financial distress. Shivamma Thayee has deep historical significance to the
    story on Shirdi Sai Baba, and developed into a saint in her own right.
     
    Given the family name of Rajamma, Sai Baba of Shirdi renamed young Rajamma
    to Shivamma Thayee in 1917, declaring she would become a saint. Today her
    samadhi is placed in her ashram in Madiwala on the outskirts of Bangalore
    city. Shivamma was born in the small village of Vellakinaru in Coimbatore
    district of Tamil Nadu (called Madras Presidency at that time) and was the
    eldest of four children.
     
    The parents, says Shivamma, were simple, loving and religious minded people
    who encouraged the spiritual inclination of the children. At the age of 13
    according to customs, Shivamma was given away in marriage to Sri
    Subramaniam Gunder. Shivamma gave birth to a son after a year of the
    marriage and was very happy and content in her new family-life. During this
    period Shivamma's uncle, Sri Thangavel Gounder, had been inclined to become
    a Sanyasi (renunciate) and traveled around the country in meeting of
    saints. One day the uncle brought with him to their town near Coimbatore
    the famous Saint of Shirdi: Sai Baba. Masses of enthusiastic people
    thronged to get a glimpse of the famous saint, who was already then well
    known and they felt proud of his presence in their district of Tamil.
     
    At this time, in year 1906, Baba is believed to have been about 70-71 years
    of age. Shirdi Sai Baba stayed in the town for two days and Shivamma's
    uncle did not let escape the chance for his family and relatives to meet
    the great saint, and hopefully to receive a Matrupadesh (a sacred mantra
    and initiation) from him. Shivamma tells of this first meeting, "At that
    very time, I was breast feeding my one year old son Mani Raj, seated behind
    at some distance from my cousin brothers and sisters. Baba cast a moving
    glance on all of us, and then he asked me alone to come near him by his
    gestures."
     
    "Baba told my uncle, 'She is the only girl in the whole lot who will be a
    highly elevated soul.' Baba then slowly chanted the Gayatri Mantra to me
    and asked me to repeat the same."
     
    The following morning Shivamma had forgotten her mantra and the uncle again
    brought her to the saint, asking for pardon. Shirdi Sai Baba wrote the
    mantra on a piece of paper, and Shivamma, who barely knew how to read,
    feebly tried to learn the mantra letter by letter in halting Tamil.
     
    As time passed, Shivamma's household duties kept her occupied so as to
    loosing the precious paper with the given mantra. That same evening she had
    a dream of Shirdi Sai who told her, "You search for the paper on which I
    wrote the Gayatri Mantra, in the big pot in which you store rice in your
    house." The following morning she indeed found the paper in the corner of
    the rice pot. From then on Shivamma felt that Shirdi Sai was her genuine
    spiritual teacher and accepted him as her Guru.
     
    Soon after her initial meeting with the Saint of Shirdi, Shivamma felt a
    desire to have darshan (vision/meeting) of the Saint at Shirdi. Asking her
    husband the permission to leave for Shirdi, he declined but on one
    condition: The family cow being old and of no use, had to be sold within
    seven days. If this was to happen, the husband promised enough faith in
    Baba and agreed to bring the wife for darshan. As nothing can stop a
    devotee from seeing his or her master when the time is ripe, within 4 days
    circumstances arranged for the cow to be sold for a surprisingly good
    amount!
     
    Shivamma says, "My entire family—my husband, son, myself and my maidservant
    had Shirdi Sai Baba's darshan in his old Mosque Dwarka 'Mai Masjid.' To
    others, Baba generally blessed them by saying 'Allah achcha karega' (May
    the Allah do good to you). But to me Baba spoke these two words in Tamil:
    'Nalla iru' (Be prosperous). Baba always spoke to me in my mother tongue
    Tamil and even to this day in his spirit form he comes to me and talks to
    me in Tamil, which is the only language I know and understand well."
     
    Baba was always surrounded by many devotees and visitors. Shivamma
    describes his countenance, "Baba sat in the Masjid in a very simple yet
    majestic manner. He was about six feet tall. He had very long hands and the
    fingers of his hands stretched below his knees. His color was very fair and
    he had a sharp nose with big nostrils. He was neither thin nor fat. His
    eyes were not black but blue and deep. They shone brightly and
    penetratingly. People used to say that Baba's eyes glittered in the night
    like the eyes of a cat or a tiger. I was very much fascinated by the charm
    of my charismatic divine Guru."
     
    Shivamma witnessed many of Shirdi Sai Baba's miracles and powers. "Baba was
    fond of cooking for his devotees. Wood was burning in the chullah (clay
    stove) and the ragi gruel was boiling in the pot. Baba pulled up his sleeve
    and immersed his right hand into the boiling gruel and stirred it many
    times. Evidently, there was no effect of the boiling ragi on his hands.
    Many people witnessed this sort of cooking done by Baba. Baba himself
    distributed his food to all devotees, and even to animals and birds who
    happened to come to his Masjid at that time."
     
    Shivamma used to travel alone to Shirdi to see Sai Baba three to four times
    a year, despite her husbands growing unwillingness. She used to stay in
    Shirdi for a few days at a time, having his darshan and witnessing his
    powers in play.
     
    Soon Shivamma became so attached to her Guru, that she started chanting his
    name in her household and thus grew disinterested in regular out-worldly
    life. She says, "Baba treated me as a daughter and showered his grace on
    me. On many occasions, I was the sole witness to his miracles." One
    extraordinary 'yoga' practice Baba used to do was called Khand Yoga. She
    explains, "One of my visists to Shirdi was around 1915. I witnessed a very
    horrible thing; I was staying in a rented room close to the Dwarka Mai.
    There was no latrine in that house, and one night at 1:30 am I had to out
    in the open space some distance away to urinate. It was pitch dark. As I
    walked near the Dwarka Mai in the street, something like a wooden log hit
    my feet. I took it up. To my horror, it was the leg of a human body with
    blood on it. I put it down at once and moved ahead in fear.
     
    After about five to six feet I hit upon another mutilated part of a human
    body—it was a full arm cut off from the shoulder. I was dreadfully
    frightened. At once I ran to my room and closed the door immediately."
    Shivamma thought that someone might have murdered Shirdi Sai, and she could
    not sleep all night weeping and crying.
     
    She continues, "At about 5 am I got up from my bed and mustered some
    courage to peep through the window of my room towards the Dwarka Mai
    Mosque. To my amazement I saw Shirdi Sai Baba sitting in the open courtyard
    silently smoking his chillum (pipe). I went at once and narrated to him the
    experience from the previous night." Baba then told her, "Daughter Rajamma,
    I had done my Khand Yoga last night, which I do sometimes. I separate my
    limbs from my physical body, and then my physical life is no more there. My
    Spirit have seen you moving in the street and stumbling against my
    mutilated legs and head."
     
    He had further told her that he would teach her the techniques of Khand
    Yoga, which she refused to accept. Shivamma says, "To my knowledge, he did
    not make such an offer to anyone among his countless devotees during his
    lifetime."
     
    Another 'yoga' she witnessed Baba doing was Dhauti Yoga, where the Mahatma
    used to swallow a long cloth, about 20 feet, and then pull it out of his
    mouth by the local well. This was Shirdi Sai's way of 'cleaning the
    intestines'.
     
    It gets more intense: "On some occasions, Baba used to take me to the well
    outside Shirdi. There he used to do another thrilling yoga. He would take
    out his intestines from his mouth, wash them with water, and then spread
    them by the well. He would entrust me the responsibilities of guarding his
    intestines from eagles, crows and other birds, because I was his Sishya
    (disciple). After the intestines being dry, Baba swallowed them again."
     
    For his devotees Baba was a very patient and caring Guru. He knew about
    their past, present, and future and would deal with each case according to
    this. At times, he would also become very angry and scold people but his
    anger was a facade for disciplining his follower. He taught his followers
    and disciples the higher truths of spiritual life in very simplified words
    through depicting real life stories, parable, and the accounts of previous
    lives of many persons, and also other creatures. Shirdi Sai Baba, the
    incredible saint of Shirdi, left his mortal frame (Mahasamadhi) on October
    15, year 1918.
