About The Shirdi Sai Samaj Temple

Located in Sector 29-B, Chandigarh, the Shirdi Sai Samaj Temple is a sacred place where devotees come to seek the blessings of Shirdi Sai Baba. Known for its peaceful and spiritual atmosphere, the temple offers an ideal space for prayers, meditation, and reflection.

As you enter the temple premises, you will first find a pandal (resting area) where devotees can sit before proceeding for Sai Baba’s darshan. The main idol of Sai Baba is placed in the sanctum, where people offer their prayers with devotion. A little ahead, you will come across another idol and a picture of Sai Baba, adding to the temple’s divine ambiance.

After seeking Baba’s blessings, devotees are offered prasad, a sacred offering. The temple also houses a langar hall, where free meals are served at specific times, following the tradition of seva (selfless service). Before reaching the langar, devotees can also visit the donation room to make contributions. On special occasions, the temple organises Sai Baba’s palki yatra (procession), allowing devotees to participate in this spiritual event with faith and devotion.

History and Miracles of the Temple

Mr. Kulasekara Perumal, initially a non-devotee of Sai, experienced a miraculous transformation during an official trip to Shirdi. Guided by Sai in various forms—first as a stranger and later as a young boy—he was led through a series of divine interventions that culminated in his deep devotion to Sai. Upon his retirement in 1986, Mr. Perumal dedicated his life to serving Sai.

In a dream, Sai instructed Mr. Perumal to build a temple, promising him guidance every step of the way. Despite financial and logistical challenges, Sai ensured the temple’s construction with continuous divine support. The temple’s design, materials, and even its paint colors were believed to be guided by Sai’s will. The temple’s Kumbabishekam was completed on August 27, 2000.
