THREE TIMES I VISITED Puttaparthi for the dharshan of SATYA SAI. AND ALSO SEEN NEARBY NARASIMHA SWAY TEMPLE AT KHADIRI AND PENUGONDA THE HISTORICAL FORT, SECOND CAPITAL OF VIJAYA NAGARA KINGS.
I was told this is the place where Mahamantri Thimmarusu eyes were removed and punished /imprisoned for allegedly supporting the high handed ness of his son against the Vijayanagara kings / Krishnadevaraya. I have not seen the movie of Mahamantri timmarusu yet and I am not fully aware of the historical happenings of that period.
PUTTAPARTHI CHITRAVATHI RIVER IS TOWARDS THE END OF LANE EXACTLY FACING THE SRI SATYA SAI MANDIR GATE. THE RIVER WAS DRY AT THE TIME OF MY VISIT (SUMMER PERIOD) KALPA VRISHAM IS THE RAVI CHETTU ON TOP OF THE HILLOCK. i SEARCHED FOR THE stair case and located 50 yards before the end of lane on the right side. I climbed over the hill and saw the place where Satya Sai Baba has spend his childhood deeply involving himself in meditation and has realized that he is incarnate of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba. Manasa Bajare famous among the songs that Sai composed himself was written and sung at the topof this hill under the kalpavrisham.
I also visited the small temple which was originally the house Sai is born and where his parents lived . I also saw a Shiva mandir, one Sri Krishna temple all walkable distance from the main temple of sri satya sai state.
