Ms.Mani Amma (87 years) was an eminent Writer who translated Shri Sai Satcharitra Marathi OVI to OVI into Telugu language and published by Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust, Shirdi. Millions of copies of this Sai Satcharitra have been sold since it was published by Shri Sai Baba Sansthan.

She had dedicated her entire life to the service of Sai Baba and had established Sai Mandir in Kishenbagh,  a prominent Slum Area in Hyderabad & was residing there only offering her services to Lord Sainath day and night.

She completed her Graduation from Osmania University, Hyderabad and served under Nizam of Hyderabad for many years.

She first visited Shirdi in the year 1940 and ad been visiting Shirdi regularly since then. Her longest stay in Shirdi was from 1973 to 1978 and during this time she had spent her time by serving Baba in the Samadhi Mandir, Dwaraka Mai, Gurusthan and Chavadi. She used to stay where ever possible, if she did not find place, she used to sleep near the Gurusthan. During her stay she started doing the parayan of Satcharitra and complety fell in love with the Satcharitra and was impressed so much that she thought, if the Devotees in Telugu could enjoy the beauty of Satcharitra and then started translating the Satcharitra by learning Marathi and also taking help from the various devotees who used to visit Shirdi or reside in Shirdi. She could able to complete about 9 Chapters in Shirdi and then she came back to Hyderabad and completed another 20 chapters by 1983. Then she got immersed in constructing a Babas temple at Kishan Bagh, and completely forgot the translation work.  Then the editors of Sai Vani a monthy Magazine came to her and requested her to contribute some articles to the Magazine and a thought arose in Mani Amma, why not publish the Satcharitra in the Magazine, so the publication of the Satcharitra in the Magazine started and then she started to complete the remaining chapters and the translation work was completed in 1991. She then published the book and it was a huge sell out, and then 2 more editions got printed. Shri Sai Baba Sansthan took up the publication work in 2005. The holy Shri Sai Satcharita translated by Mani Amma later got translated to Kannada and Tamil languages also.

Apart from Shri Sai Satcharitra She translated many other works on Sai Baba also in Telugu Language. Her last work was translation of the famous Marathi Masterpiece of Dr.Keshav Bhagawant Gawankar "Shirdiche Sai Baba" which is yet to be published.

The demise of Ms.Mani Amma is a great loss to the Sai World especially Telugu speaking Sai Devotees who will be indebted ever to her for the wonderful Selfless Sai Devotee Seva that she carried throughout her life.

She merged in the Divine Lotus Feet of Shri Sainath Maharaj at 6 pm at her residence  on Saturday, 17th December 2016.
