About Sri Naga Sai Mandir Trust:
The parna-sala in which the picture of Baba was originally installed in 1942 is now a mandap with a concrete roofed prakaram with marble floorings. The marble statue of the deity, Sri Sai Baba was installed by Sri Sathya Sai Baba on the 26th day of February 1961. This was the first occasion on which Sathya Sai Baba was installing for daily worship an idol of Shirdi Sai Baba. The popularity of Sri Naga Sai began to spread far and wide and thousands began to visit the holy shrine.

Coimbatore Sri Naga Sai Mandir Thiru Vilakku Pooja:

Thiru Vilakku poojai performed every Friday after evening aarthi.
The pooja, Vilakku pooja (Lamp-worship) is familiar among women throughout Tamil society and is usually done in groups. This group worship occur in hundreds of villages and cities in Tamil Nadu. Groups of women, often 108, or 1008, or even up to 10008 Thiruvilakkus at a time, gather at temples to conduct simultaneous worship to their holy lamps.

‘Thiru-vilakku’ or ‘Kuthu-vilakku’ is an artistically crafted lamp (Deepa, in Sanskrit), which has a place in the shrines in South Indian homes. It is the symbol of Mahalakshmi, the deity of Fortune and Prosperity. Thiruvilakku Pooja aims at collectively worshipping Mahalakshmi by a large number of women at a time. This is said to bring prosperity to the home and peace to the world. It is mainly done for the well-being of the woman’s family; it brings all auspicious things to each and every member. Sai Mahalakshmi comes to anyone’s house the moment they light the lamp and will grant every single desire of their heart!

Advent of ‘Sri Naga Sai’:
In the year 1939, Sn. H.H.B.V. Narasimha Swamji along with sri A.V. K. Chain and Sri. H. Varadaraja Ayyah and his brother Sri. C.V. Rajan started the Sai movement in Coimbatore and the first institution of Sri Sai Baba in Tamilnadu (erstwhile madras province) was established in Coimbatore. The Institution was named as Sri Sai Baba was put up for darshan of the Devotees. Swamji entrusted the centre to care of Sri. A.V. K. Chain hate in the year 1942, the late Sn. C. Varadaraja Ayyah donated about one acre of land at Mettupalayam Road and Thatched Shed was evicted at the donated land to house the Sri Sai Baba Mission which was later named as Sri Sai Baba Madam in those days and the place was opened for worship to one and all at all times irrespective of class, creed, caste or religion. The Sai Baba Madam was the metting ground of Sai Devotees in and around the Coimbatore City. Sai Bajans were held regularly on Sunday & Thursday.

Coimbatore Sri Naga Sai Mandir Dhuni:

The Sacred Dhuni flame has been brought from Bangalore Mandir which got the orginal Dhuni flame from shirdi.

The udi from the dhuni is given as prasadam to all the devotees. this udi has the power to cure all diseases.

From the earliest days, Baba would give udi – holy ash from the dhuni – to his visitors. The healing power of Baba’s udi is well documented and there are numerous cases of people being healed of pain or sickness by taking Baba’s udi both before and since his mahasamadhi.

Baba would sometimes apply udi to his devotees when they arrived, or when they were taking leave of him, and he often gave out handfuls which he scooped up from the dhuni. The Sri Sai Satcharitra tells us that “when Baba was in a good mood” he sometimes used to sing about udi “in a tuneful voice and with great joy”: “Sri Ram has come, Oh he has come during his wanderings and he has brought bags full of udi.” Udi is still collected from the fire for distribution. Since this is a continuation of Baba’s own practice, and the udi comes from the very fire that Baba himself lit and tended, it is considered extremely sacred. Today a small tray of udi is kept for visitors near the steps.

For devotees of Sai Baba there is an emotional attachment to udi as a tangible form of Baba’s blessings, a vehicle for Baba’s grace and a link to Baba himself. People usually put it on the forehead and/or in the mouth. Sri Babuji also gives Baba’s udi as a symbol of Baba’s blessing.

When a Westerner unfamiliar with the custom once asked him why he did this, Sri Babuji replied that because the udi is from the fire that was lit and touched by Baba, the ashes are a connection to Baba and to his touch – and thus no ordinary ash. Putting the udi on the forehead, says Sri Babuji, “always gives me the experience of the touch of my Beloved and the udi is a symbol of his grace.
