Sadguru Sri Namapally Baba

Sadguru Sri Namapally Baba

Who is this Baba?  From where he is, no one knows. His actual name and his birth, his parents, no details are known. In 1945, he was first seen at a burial ground near malakpet railway station, Hyderabad. He always used to be in a blissful state and never used to speak with anyone. At times he used to wet himself under the tap, then sleep on a small wall in the burial ground. He used to talk to himself,  laugh, sometimes look at sky and do some gestures. Most of the people thought that he was a beggar. But there were a few blessed people, by this time only identified him as an avadoota. People were astonished with the divine fragrance coming from Baba, even though he hadn't taken his bath for many days. In 1972 Baba had an accident and was admitted to Osmania Hospital. After that no one saw him till 1980.

In 1980, he was seen again at the corridor of  Nampally Police Station. Hence onwards people used to call him as nampally baba. There are various instances which took place at this place. Even ministers, higher officials, businessmen and all sorts of people used to visit Baba and took his blessings. Around 1987 Baba had been shifted to Sri sravan kumar house at gowlipura, charminar. And last six years he stayed at Vivekanada Nagar, kukatpally before Samadhi.

Baba left his physical body on November 6, 2004, and his body was put as samadhi near dharmapuri kshetra.

Sri Sivenesan Swami of Shirdi used to tell the devotees from hyderabad visiting Shirdi Sai Baba," You need not come this far to visit Sai Baba, he is already there in the form of Shri Nampally Baba. If you visit him, then you have visited Shirdi Sai Baba". Pujya Sri Ekkirala Bharadwaja Master used to encourage many devotees going to hyderabad to visit Shri Nampally Baba and take his blessings. If one reads the charitra of Nampally Baba, there are various instances of devotees from hyderabad to whom Shri Shirdi Sai Baba himself appeared in the dream and told them that right now he is present in hyderabad in the form of Shri Nampally Baba and asked them to seek his blessings.
 

Devotees had various personal experiences while Baba was physically present. Even today also devotees are having many experiences at his samadhi. He is answering to his devotees from his Samadhi only like Shri Sai Baba. To one of his devotees, he told, this is the 6th avatar.  1) Sripada Srivallabha 2) Sri Narasimha Saraswathi 3) Akkalkot Maharaj 4) Manik Prabhu 5) Shirdi Sai Baba are the 5 avatars of Shri Dattatreya, and Shri Nampally Baba is saying that this is the 6th avatar. 

Devotees of Baba say that if one visits his Samadhi with faith and regularity, all their wishes are fulfilled. One has to visit the Samadhi to feel and experience about Shri Nampally Baba. For further information and to know the life story of Baba one has to read his charitra which can be taken at dharmapuri kshetra.

At Samadhi Mandir:

a) Pradaskshina b) Parayana c) Cigarette Lighting d) Aarati e) Satyanarayana Swamy Vratham f) Annadanam

Devotees does pradakshina to the samadhi of Shri Nampally baba. There are so many instances where people with troubles in personal life,professional life etc got relieved from their troubles or sufferings by doing the pradakshinas to baba samadhi. There is no specific number one has to do, but usually people do 108 pradakshinas. It is not the count, but the faith and devotion with which the pradakshinas are done.

Then there are people who offer cigarattes to baba. When baba used to  be in his physical form, he used to smoke cigarattes. It is devotees experience that he never accepted the food or cigaratte from everyone whoever comes to him, but incase if he accepts either food or cigarette from some devotee, then his problem or trouble or suffering would usually get solved. It is the strong belief of devotees that baba smokes their cigarette and their problem gets solved. It is also astonishing that if one lights the cigarette and places in front of baba, the cigarette automatically burns out as if some person is smoking the cigarette. Someone may get doubt what kind of baba is this, who smokes a cigarette?. But to experience one has to visit and see for themselves. It is not only troubles or sufferings, even if one is facing any sort of difficulties in their spiritual progress they can definetly get the solution if one visits baba samadhi.The results of visiting baba samadhi depends entirely on the person and the faith with which he or she visits.

Apart from this devotees do parayana inside baba samadhi mandir. Baba himself has given assurance to his devotees, that whoever does parayana of Sri Gurucharitra in my presence, he will be blessed with guru darshana and guru grace. It is also a known fact that the results for parayana done at various locations is as such. If a person does parayana in his home, the result will be normal. If the same parayana is done in a temple,the result will be tenfold, and if the same is done on the banks of a river, it will be hundred fold, and if the same is done in the presence of a sadguru, the result will be thousandfold. Such is the greatness of the sadguru, that the results done for the parayana will be immediately graced upon the person doing the parayana. So it is good for those who are visiting baba samadhi mandir, to plan in such a way that they do parayana of the guru charitra (may be of Sri Guru or their own Guru).

Shri Saibaba used to encourage people coming to him to attend aarti, and it is custom to perform 4 times aarti in Shri Saibaba mandirs. And participating in a group performing aarti, slowly the devotion develops in the person. It is the same at Shri Nampally Baba Samadhi Mandir. Here also aarti is performed 4 times in a day. One can feel the divinity and bliss, if one attends the aarti in the presence of baba. One has to experience it and words are less to describe it.

Baba used to make all the devotees whoever come to him to perform satyanarayana swamy vratham in his presence. The same is being continued even after baba taking samadhi. Every pournima or full moon day this vratham is being conducted and devotees come in large numbers and participate in this event and get the blessings of Baba.

Annadanam or feeding (animals,humans etc) is the greatest act which all the datta avatars have encouraged whoever came to them. Every living being will have hunger, some may ask and some may not be able to ask. So it is the responsibility of those who have enough to share with those who are not that fortunate. And this is the easiest path to get the grace of guru, because it is the guru who is in all the forms. So one can perform feeding at the samadhi mandir to get the grace of  Baba.

Let everyone visit this shrine and get the blessings of Baba.
