Sairam all devotees,
Please see the link for all the photos of the SHibpur Sai temple - SAi Festival 2011. This was a 4-day celebration and included various programs like performing Durga pooja, Homams, Yagna and Sai pooja in a grand scale. Also this time as the number of poeple were almost double, the Annadaan program was held for 3 days.
The new temple was rebuilt on the same structure where it lied the 100year old temple in Shibpur. We can still see some old bricks on the wall. Its a perfect sign of Miracle i would say that has happened and Baba created this temple with the help of all the loving devotees as you all. Where there were dreadful bushes and snakes and trees lying earlier.. there now is built a wonderful temple of our Lord Sai.
I still remember the place where there was this red brick wall structure of the older temple and now i see this a total miracle of how this new temple is formed..Really this is what Baba has done for the welfare of all his devotees.
Amitji personally want to Thank all the Sai devotees whole heartedly for helping us build this temple. He is also praying for the well being of all the family members of the devotees who were a part of this construction..who donated even a paisa for building this temple. There will also be a special pooja at the feet of Shri Sai for all the devotees who were associated with the temple in some way or the other.
It was also mentioed that till today and during the festival time, there were 163 miracles recorded in a way that the people who had financial issues, Work/.Job related issues, health related issues like paralysis etc and also maternal related issues were cured here in Shibpur. There were these 163 pooja's done for warding off the dangers and calamities of the devotees at shibpur. These were the poeple who were in utmost need of Baba's blessings and had their vows taken at Baba's feet.
Adding to this now, the Bamboo structure will now be reconstructed with the pakka brickwall bilding construction, the work will be starting soon and the Shibpur temple team requests all the sai devotees to pour in there donations, be it anything given with love and devotion. Remember only if baba wishes anyone will be able to donate to this temple. So please spread a word about this temple in your friends and family.
Once this temple is constructed, the Shibpur Sai idol will be permanently placed in this small temple. Baba's idol is presently resting in the newly constructed 100year old temple. But as Baba wished to stay in the small temple, this bamboo structured temple is being rebuilt for pakka.
Also there is a plan of building a gopuram on the top of the newly contructed 100 year temple sometime in November.
These were few updates from the Shibpur temple as of now. Will keep posting as we go.
Again many Many thanks and love from Amitji to all the devotees and he wishes with Baba's grace all the devotees will continue to help in some way.
NOTE: The link for all the Sai Festival photos will be placed in few more hours. Sorry for the delay.
Sairam to all of you.
