Shirdi Saibaba Temple - Phoenix

• Sai Baba Temple in Phoenix was inaugurated on Mar 19, 2011. Statue of Sai Baba was installed on the same day. The instruction to start the temple for Shirdi Sai Baba in the state of Arizona was initiated under the guidance of Sai Baba through one of his disciple Sri Saipaadha Meiyadimmai.
• Under the guidance of Sri Saipaadha Meiyadimmai five families started Sai arati on every Thursday evening. As more and more devotees came to know about this arati they have been joining the group and now it has become a much awaited weekly celebration for all the members. With Sai’s mercy and grace this group has crossed 50 and is counting. As it was getting difficult to accommodate all the members at the time of arati, the need for the place to have Sai Baba temple has increased. With the guidance of Sri Saipaadha Meiyadimmai, one group set out to find a location for the temple to perform regular puja for Shirdi Sai Baba and also continue the Sai arati.
• On venturing into the process, the team also realized that the state of Arizona doesn’t have a Sai Baba Temple and there are Sai devotee groups who are performing Sai Arati and even a few ardent Sai devotees who regularly fly to LA to offer their prayers to Sai Baba( as there was no temple in Phoenix). The team feels blessed to have been given the opportunity to start a Sai temple in the state of Arizona benefiting all the Sai devotees.
