Sai Baba's Paduka’s Not Going to America Anymore.



Due to lot of opposition by Shirdi Gram Udyog & many Sai devotees,
Shirdi Sai Baba Sansthan has denied permission to Sai Baba Trust to take the Holy Charan Paduka’s of Baba, to America.

According, to Sai devotees Baba never advocated his prachaar as he himself had said that he never needed any Tonga,
or any medium to go anywhere, he just reaches the place where his devotees remembered him.
Secondly, the devotees also fear security issues and don't want Baba's Paduka's to be insulted in any manner
through out the trip especially at the security checks at airports.

Also, the Shirdi Gram Udyog & some devotees were accusing that the entire trip was being done for
personal jaunts of the Pujari's of the Sansthan who were going to travel along with their families.
The representatives of Shirdi Gram Udyog said that they were ready to protest to it and would'nt even mind going to Jail for it.
They said that the Sansthan had some time back themselves said that they would never take Baba's Paduka's anywhere out of India.

According, to Shri.Jayant Sasane, Chairman - Shirdi Sai Baba Sansthan...the Sansthan has Two pairs of Baba's Holy Paduka's,
one of which they had taken to Goa and a few more places in India as part of
the centenary celebrations of the Chavadi Palki procession festival.
Likewise, the Sansthan was getting a lot of request's from as far as USA & Australia,
requesting them to get Baba' s Paduka's for Sai Bhajan Sandhya's at their Sai temples too, as part of the centenary celebrations.

Shri.Jayant Sasane said that by taking Baba's Paduka's abroad, many devotees abroad who could not make it to Shirdi,
could get a chance to have darshan of Baba's paduka's. But as many devotees were objecting to this,
he did not want any division amongst the Sansthan, Sai Baba Trust and Baba's devotees nor did he want to
create any conflict because of this, so, he has called off all the programs of taking Baba's Paduka's anywhere out of India.

Thus, the program of Baba's Paduka darshan in Houston, Texas will also be cancelled but rest of the program of
Sai Baba's Pran Pratishta will be done as scheduled.

Below is the email that Shri.Murali Chandrashekaran received from Shirdi Sansthan regarding Sai Baba's Paduka Visit to Houston,Texas.
Shri.Murali Chandrashekaran is on the Board of Directors of the Shirdi Sai Jalaram Mandir,Houston-Texas.

***
Respected Mr. Madhu Vulluru,
Hon. Maa Dwarka Mai (Mr. Lakshmi Thakkar) &
Hon. Devotees of Shirdi Sai Baba & Lord Jalaram

Subject: Sai Paduka visit to Houston , TX and installation ceremony of Lord Shirdi Sai Baba.

Honourable Sir/Madam,

As a trustee of Sai Baba Sansthan, Shirdi and coordinator of the above function, I would like to inform on behalf of the board that the "Original Silver Sai Paduka" (Charan) on which the Abhishekum is been performed since last 90 years, will be arriving to Huston along with the Priest, Singers, few Trustees and Executive Officer of Shirdi Sai Baba Sansthan Trust on 27th august.

These are the same Padukas on which all the Abhishekums are conducted even when the original Padukas are present, as the original ones are sealed in a glass case and cannot be touched. Honourable Chairman of Shirdi Sai Baba Sansthan Trust has also agreed to preside the function but due some exigencies of the government and political situation, Chairman may attend only The Praan Pratistha Ceremony (installation ceremony of Houston only).

These are the updates I have and you all are also aware that there had been a lot of unwanted controversies of which have “no say” in our programs but given undesirable importance by few media people, some villagers and some who claim to be the Devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba.

 As per my conscious the true Devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba will never oppose such holy visit, where millions of Sai Devotees are ready to receive Sai Baba Paduka with full grace and devotion.

 Honouring and respecting everbodies sentiment the Board has approved the program and with the Blessing of Lord Sai the program will be executed.

With Sai Blessings.

K.C.Pandey

Trustee

Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Shirdi

Ahmednagar, Aug 23 : Villagers of the temple town of Shirdi, who were on a hunger strike since last two days, protesting the decision to take Padukas (footmarks) of Sai Baba to America, withdrew their agitation today after the temple trust decided against the move.
The villagers had also demanded removal of the present Board of Trustees managing the Sai Baba Sansthan, but withdrew their agitation after the board decided against the visit.

Sai Baba Sansthan president Jayant Sasane pacified and assured the local residents that the decision to send the Padukas to the US had been cancelled.

Talking to UNI, Mr Sasane confirmed that he had cancelled the proposed visit to America. ''The devotees of Sai Baba, living in America, had written a letter to the trust requesting them to bring Sai Paduka for a darshan, but I have decided to cancel the same after protest by the villagers."
