Bhagavan Shirdi Sai Baba
About Shirdi Sai Baba
Bhagavan Shri Shirdi Sai Baba —revered as an avatar by his devotees and honored as a saint and spiritual master by countless others—has left a profound and lasting impact on millions of lives.
More than a century after his Mahasamadhi, his teachings of love, faith, humility, and compassion continue to resonate deeply, transcending barriers of religion, caste, and creed.
Arriving in the small town of Shirdi, India, in the mid-19th century, Sai Baba lived a life of remarkable simplicity and service. His message was clear and universal: "Sabka Malik Ek"—The Divine Master of all is One.
He healed the sick, fed the hungry, comforted the sorrowful, and guided seekers on the path of truth and righteousness. To his devotees, he was not merely a wise man—he was the living embodiment of the divine.
Through his actions and words, Sai Baba taught that true spirituality lies not in rigid rituals or dogmatic beliefs, but in unwavering faith (Shraddha), enduring patience and unwavering perseverance that comes from complete confidence in the benevolent unfolding of the Divine Will at the right time (Saburi).
Even today, his presence is deeply felt in the hearts of those who call upon him, offering solace, hope, and boundless grace.
His life remains a timeless reminder that the path to God begins with love for all beings.
Prana Prathistha Celebrations – August 2–3, 2025
With Baba’s divine grace and blessings, our Sai family joyfully came together on Saturday and Sunday, August 2–3, 2025, to celebrate the auspicious Prana Prathistha ceremonies of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba’s murti. The entire weekend was filled with devotion, love, and a deep sense of Baba’s divine presence.

The celebrations commenced with a vibrant and colorful procession, carrying Baba’s murti in a beautifully adorned palanquin. Devotees lovingly took turns shouldering the palanquin, singing soulful bhajans and chanting sacred mantras that filled the air with devotion and bliss.
Two Days of Divine Energy
Over the course of two blessed days, the temple resonated with bhajans, prayers, and rituals, drawing every heart closer to Baba. On Sunday around noon, the much-awaited moment arrived — the inauguration and unveiling of Baba’s murti. The atmosphere overflowed with love, reverence, and joy as devotees witnessed Baba’s divine form being revealed amidst sacred chants and heartfelt prayers.
