On 29th November 2013, a Chennai-based woman donated Rs.40 lakh to the Shirdi Sansthan Trust
to fulfill the last wish of her late mother-in-law who passed away recently.
Her mother-in-law had desired that after her, all the property in her name,
should be sold and the amount received should be donated to the Shirdi Sai Baba Sansthan.
So, following her last wish, her descendants sold her property for Rs.40 lakh
and donated the same to the Sai Baba Sansthan`Shirdi.
