"SAI NAAM JAAP AANDOLAN"
- PROTEST IN SHIRDI -
Tuesday 31st August`2010
Shirdi: On Tuesday 31st Aug`2010, around 2,500 Workers of the Shirdi Sai Sansthan
went on a "Sai Naam Jaap Aandolan" - a One Day Peaceful Protest, while chanting Baba's Name.
This Strike was called by the "Jai Sai Nath Kamgar Seva Sangh".
They were demanding their wages be raised from Rs.3000/- per month to Rs.5000/- per month,
as it was difficult for them to run their houses in todays Inflationary Times.
They were also demanding to be made Permanent instead of Temporary Workers.
They had all gathered in front of Baba's Samadhi Mandir on the Pimpalwadi Road
and were Chanting Sai Baba's Mantra "Om Sai Namoh Namaha" continuously, with a small Palki of Sai Baba kept infront of them.
As it was a peaceful Protest, there was no confusion or trouble caused to the devotees visiting the Samadhi Temple.
