Shirdi Sai as Sri Naga Sai in Coimbatore :

In the year 1939,Sri. H.H.B.V. Narasimha Swamji along with few more ardent Sai bhakt started Sai movement and established first institution in Coimbatore . The Institution was named as Sri Sai Baba Mission ,Narasihma Swamy ji in year 1942 entrusted the care of centre to Sri. A.V.K.Chari .
The late Sri.C.Varadaraja Ayyah donated about one acre of land at Mettupalayam Road and a Thatched Shed was erected at the donated land to house the Sri Sai Baba Mission which was later named as Sri Sai Baba Madam ,every Thursday there shall be Sai Bhajan and it was open for all for Darshan .

History and Story on Advent of ‘Naga Sai’Temple:

On the evening of the 7/1/1943 Thursday sacred for worship of Baba, a miracle happened!
A Cobra snake with Tripundra,Shankha and Chakra marked on his unusually big hood ,shining and lustrous in appearance all of sudden appeared before Shirdi Sai Baba’s picture when Bhajan was in full swing with drums, cymbal and vibration of bhajan was in peak.

This Naag stood there still, Wavering of light, music and drum had no effect on nerves of Cobra. Seeing this people came in hundreds without any fear of snake and stood there watching the cobra with open hood in utter wonder and awe.

Young and old, women and children in thousands began to pour into the spacious land of the Bhajan Matham to witness the Naga that lingered in the same spot for full 48 hours .Naga stood still uterly ignoring all this and giving darsan,on the Thursday and Friday to the great delight of all the devotees.

Lost in divine escatcy Sri C.Varadarajiah and other devotees got about a thousand ''THIRU SAMANDIMAM" flowers and reciting the ashtotram of Baba and treating the Cobra itself AS SRI SAI BABA they stood round it and close to it and threw all the one thousand flowers ove the head of NAGA SAI. The cobra did not budge an inch but received all the flowers over its head. Then they sent for a photographer. When the photographer attempted to take a photo it was observed that the Naga was hidden in the heaps of Javanthi flowers.
what a wonder!!!


On the second day of Naga’s advent, photographer came to take a picture of the Naga in its majesty but the latter was immersed under heaps of flowers. No one had the courage to go near the spot where the cobra was lodged and clear the flowers. The only course open to them was to pray.Lo! The Naga jumped out of the flowers heaps and posed for the photograph as if in answer to the prayers of the multitude. One and all were sure for the first time that it was all the work of Sai Baba.

The devotees then prayed with fervor and faith to the Naga to clear out and enable them to resort to their routine worship of Baba in the Madam. Then the immobile Naga showed signs of movements went around Sri Sai Baba’s picture and slowly marched out into the open, disappeared into the bush where later an ant-hill (snake’s natural habitat) appeared. The place where the Naga disappeared in, held as a ‘Holy Ground’ by devotees and from that day onwards Shirdi Sai Baba in Coimbatore is worshipped as “Sri Naga Sai”.
