Thimmapuram village Kirlampudi Mandalam, East Godavari District (maternal village of Panduranga Rao Malyala, 3rd son of Venkatachalapathi was delivered by his mother Smt. Pullammagaru (Praphulla –name of Parvati)on Friday May 23rd, 1941 at 10:05AM (Vrishabha Nama Samvatsara, vaishaka Bahula Trayodasi Sukravaram Aswini Nakshatra Truteeya Pada Mesha Raasi, Karkataka Lagnam). It began with one Acharya of Krishna Yajur Veda in his own house with very few students. The progress was very slow.
2. On April 24, 1996 the school was moved to 12 Bhaskar nagar Kakinada (house of Mahalakshmi and Panduranga Rao Malyala). Kakinada is a district headquarters. (Dhatrunama Samvatsara Vaishaka Suddha Chathurthi Bhanuvora Rohini Nakshatra Midhuna Lagnam). Again the Institute had one Acharya, Sri Sankara Sarma Savitala teaching Krishna Yajur Veda with 6 students and with a budget of Rs 5000/month.
3. In 2000- August due to increase of students the building was renovated. Acharyas for all the four Vedas, a manager, a cook, an administrator, warden, cleaner, etc., were appointed. The school started with 25 students and the budget was Rs 50,000/month.
4. By Divine command of Sai Baba in Nov 2001 a 5 acres mango grove was purchased in the village of Ganganapally, a suburb of Kakinada. The school was moved to a rented house of Late Sri Rao Gopal Rao on Dec 5th 2001 which was close to the proposed mango grove. The building for school (64’ by 64’), dining hall, kitchen and staff quarters (84’ by 64’) and a guest house of Sarvato Bhadra Mandalam Shape were constructed.
5. The school was opened on August 23rd 2002 with 6 teachers, an administrator, cook, warden, gardener, security guard with 64 students. It is running with a monthly budget of 1,00,000 Rs/month and increased to Rs 125,000
6. By grace of Sai Baba construction of another school was started on Friday Jan 30, 2004 at Puttparthy. An 84’ by 84’ school building, Yagna Saala (64’ by 24’), Pakashala (108’ by 24’-Kitche, dining and store), Higher Learning Institute (64’ by 64’) with 7 Kuteers, staff quarters, Gosala and Administrative building were constructed. The school was formally inaugurated on March 4rd, 2004 at Sri R.V. Janakiranayya Kalyana Mandapam at 9:34AM. Indeed the Patasala was inaugurated by Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba on January 15,2004-Makara Sankranti and Mahalakshmi and Panduranga Rao Malyala blessed by Bhagavan in the morning around 10 A.M.
7. On Feb 17th, 2005 the Institute was begun with 3 Acharyas RG Veda, Krishna Yajur Veda, Smartham with 9 students, Administrator, Cook, Gardener, and a monthly budget of Rs.50, 000. Later Sama vedam Acharya added. There were 43 students. Then we have also a Nadaswara and Drum Acharayas with 20 students were also joined. Later due to Divine will the strength fallen. Currently there about 25 students and 2 Acharyas. We hope this will increase to 5o or more in 2011 and efforts and prayers are being to expand the students and and Acharyas. Expecting students from Paunjab, Assam and Orissa with 10 students from each place and 3 more Acharyas.
8.In January 14-2007 another school is started at Katra –Vaishnavi Devi Mandir foot hills-Jammu kKashmir with 7 students and one pundit from Dehradun -as per Divine Command and with lot of Grace and mysterious circumstances 1008 blankets were distributed and annadanam was rendered in 2006 December. This school is opened after continuous prayers from 1979 . Currently there are 20 students, one Achraya, from Vaaranaasi, cook, cleaning person running in a rented place. Sukla Yajurveda of Maadhyandini Saakha (branch) which is prevalent in North India is being imparted. The monthly budget is Rs 36,000
9. Again by Divine Command of Baba another school in Gangtok –Sikkim started on January 14th 2008 with few students .Currently there 12 students and one Acharya. The school is in a rented place and the monthly budget is Rs 24,000. Sukla Yajurveda is being imparted.
10. Again by Divine Command another school in Srinagar-Jammu Kashmir started in October 2009 with 10 students and one Pundit. There were 5 lakh Kashmiri pundits in 1989. After militacy there are about 5000 now. But there is a great potency to have more students and protect our ancient Saivism of Bharateeya Culture and wealth.
11.Recently Sai Baba gave a command to start in Tawang –Arunachala Pradesh. We don’t know how to proceed which is the very border of Tibet. Of course there flight from Delhi-Gauhati-Tawang. It is strong military and Buddhist monestry is there . Financial assistance is needed. Once Bhagavan Baba cured a Swamy from Arunachala Pradesh when visited Puttaparthy with cancer. Also gave the yantras for Soorya and Chandra (Sun and Moon) temples to construct since the people of Arunachala Pradesh worship Sun and the Moon.
If this school comes into existence the borders will be safe and culture will be in tact.(See the Tapovanam-parayana grandham-of Sri Sathya Sai Sathcharitra –Sacred Life story of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba byJandhyala Venkateswara Sastry-Published in almost all Indian languages.
