About Mandir
Shirdi Sai Baba is a spiritual master who is regarded by his devotees as an incarnation of God (avatar), saint, fakir, and satguru. Sai Baba lived between 1838 and 1918. Pathri is said to be Sai’s birthplace. According to Sai Satcharita, Sai Baba arrived at the village of Shirdi in the Ahmednagar District, India when he was about 16 years old. The first Sai Baba temple is situated at Kudal, Sindhudurg. This temple was built in 1922. It is believed that Sai Baba gave one Rupee to Dada Madye ji with which he built the temple in Kudal.
His philosophy ingrained ‘Shraddha’ meaning faith and ‘Saburi’ meaning compassion. According to him Shraddha and Saburi were the supreme attributes to reach the state of godliness. Baba helped bring Unity and Harmony between all communities. He said that God is one, but called by different names. He said follow your own religion and seek the truth.
Saibaba’s mission was to restore belief in god and according to him, “I give people what they want in the hope that they will begin to want what I want to give them (knowledge of the Ultimate).” He then taught values of total surrender to the Almighty Master (ALLAH MALIK EK- The only ONE) and experiences his grace. His most concise message for one and all alike was “Why fear when I am here”.
