Sri Sai Darshan Trust is a non-profit charitable organization founded by Gurumai Shanthamma in Hosur (near Bangalore India),
and registered on the 26th of February 1996. The main objective of the trust is to spread
Sri Shirdi Sai Baba's message of love towards all beings and service to humanity, thereby fostering spiritual growth and love for God.
The ashram houses a Prayer Hall dedicated to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba, as already mentioned,
with smaller attached shrines dedicated to various deities.
The foundation stone of the ashram complex was laid on the 10th of December 1997 by Maa and the
members of the trust and the construction activity got completed by 2001.
Architectural style. The sanctum sanctorum is covered by a high rising structure - 31 feet dome in the shape of a Lingam.
The round shape of the lingam reminds one that there is no beginning or end to the Supreme Being.
The major segment of the temple is the Prayer Hall which can comfortably accommodate about 250 devotees.
The periphery of the hall and separate structures house a large number of shrines.
One enters the main temple after prostrating to Lord Veerya Ganapaty, who takes care of impediments.
Walking over the steps, Siva Linga and Nandi are encounterd. Shirdi Sai Baba is at the end of the prayer hall.
He has been beautifully sculpted form marble in Jaipur.

DHUNI MAAA Dhuni is considered to be very auspicious for Shirdi Baba devotees since Baba himself had maintained one throughout his life.
Fire symbolizes purity and it has the capacity to purify all that it consumes.
Sai Baba used to maintain the Dhuni in Shirdi and distribute the udhi to all devotees who would seek his blessings.
Miraculously, the fortunate souls who came in contact with his presence would get their problems solved by
his grace and through the udhi (sacred ash).
The Dhuni here at Sai Darshan was started on July 2001 Gurupurnima day.
On that auspicious day we intalled 28 manifestation of God in the form of Idols for worship.
All the pilgrims and devotees were anxiously awaiting to witness the start of the dhuni, a rare opportunity.
Guru Maa was immersed in thoughts of her own Guru and had kept a copper plate of wood pieces in her room
for worshiping as a purification, when lo and behold a divine flame arose on its own from the wood pieces.
Maa understood this to be a divine omen from Sai Baba and immediatley caught hold of the plate and proceeded
towards the crowd of devotees at Dwarakamai.
