Thousands brave biting cold for Baba's darshan
KODAIKANAL: Braving biting cold,
thousands of devotees have gathered at the place of Sathya Sai Baba here
for darshan.
It was the practice for Sai Baba to visit Kodaikanal every year. But for
various reasons, he did not come to Kodaikanal in the past three years.
However, he arrived here on Sunday and is staying at the Sai Sruthi
Mandir along Lake Road.
On hearing of his arrival, thousands of persons, including foreign
tourists, are gathering at his residence for darshan.
Meanwhile, those who come to his residence are thoroughly frisked and
checked before being admitted. Cameras, cell phones, pens and other
items are not permitted inside.
Special poojas are conducted from 8 a.m. to 8.30 pm. and from 3 pm. to
4.45 pm.
Sai Baba blessed the devotees for three minutes during these poojas on
Tuesday.
