Sai Baba Temple

Peace of mind is here. Loved the temple and the aarti.

Lit yes In English, the average word length is 5.1 (8-bit ASCII) characters. You need a word delimiter, let’s just use the space character. 200 characters would contain 32.8 chunks of 6.1 characters, including the trailing space (which the last word doesn’t need), or 32 chunks of 6.1 characters and one of 4.8 characters.nnSo on average, 32 complete modern English words in 200 (8-bit ASCII) characters.nnA person could take a text file, split it into a running list of 200 characters, and count the number of complete words (either starting or ending a line, or ending in a punctuation mark or space — hmm, you’d actually want to use 201 characters to test what the last character in the set is, if it’s a letter then don’t count the word, if it’s a space or punctuation mark or end of the line, then do) in each list. Then plot out the histogram and take various univariate statistics. A peculiar but fun project if you took texts from different languages and different time periods. There are tools in python to do this. You might have a few head scratching moments about how to think about UTF-8 character sets, as they are encoded not in 8 bits but in 8 bits + 4 bits for accents, other alphabets, etc.nnIn Chinese, otoh, there are about 1.5 logograms to a single semantic unit (“word”) but each logogram is in variable byte encoding (Big5, Guobiao), so, 200 1-byte (8-bit) units might translate into 150 or so logograms, giving us about 100 words in Chinese, or about 126 if you count each “character” as a single unit. The encoding of Chinese characters in Chinese, Japanese and Korean is the source of, err, much controversy.

Visit the temple for peace and pleasant thoughts. It's going to be over crowded on Thursdays, but you will be enjoying the religious prayers and authentic prasadam. Visit on a weekend in the morning for a calming and pleasant time... Om Sai Ram...

+ Best time to visit is on Thursday, lot of devotees and bhajans during the evening.nn+ Food is served on Thursday night and Saturday afternoon.nn+ Balavihar (weekend school) will be conducted at the basement floor of the temple (fits 200 people).nn+ Mobile signal will be weak if you go to the basement floor of the temple, you might not be able to place or receive calls.nn+ You will come across friends & colleagues, also make new friends.nn+ Come with the right mindset and you will leave the place peacefully.

Perfectly maintained temple. Bhajans followed by Thursday Anna dhaanam is very divine. The quality of the food is also good.
