| Mandir History |
|
|
|
|
Sai Sansthan USA, a non-profit (not-for-profit) organization was formed and incorporated in the State of Illinois on 25th Feb 1997. The primary objective of Sai Sansthan USA is to establish a Sri Shirdi Saibaba Mandir in the metropolitan Chicago area and facilitate worship services similar to Sri Shirdi Saibaba Mandir in Shirdi, India.
|
|
|
Sai Sansthan USA has been tirelessly engaged to find a place of its own to establish a Sai Mandir. With the Grace of Baba, we were able to purchase approximately 5.5 acres of land in Aurora, Illinois and inaugurate the Sri Shirdi Saibaba Mandir Chicago on 19th Dec 2002 that happened to be a Thursday, Sri Datta Jayanti Day and a full moon day, a combination that occurs only once in 62 years.
|
|
|
With the Grace of Baba, we were successful in bringing Sri Krishna Sulakhe belonging to the same family as that of the head priest in the Sri Saibaba Mandir, Shirdi, India as our priest. He has been providing worship services in the tradition of Sri Saibaba Mandir in Shirdi.
