Tales
History
The Shri Sai Bhakta Samaj, founded in 1968, is a heartfelt tribute to the teachings of Shirdi Sai Baba. What began as a humble gathering in a rented room has blossomed into a vibrant movement that inspired the establishment of Sai Samajams across India. One of its most remarkable milestones was the creation of Northern India's first Shirdi Sai Memorial, nestled on Lodhi Road in New Delhi. This journey of devotion was made possible by the tireless efforts of many, including spirited fundraising drives supported by film distributors and soulful Qawwali performances. The construction of the temple was a collective labor of love, meticulously guided by dedicated architects and contractors. A stunning white marble statue of Sai Baba, lovingly crafted in Jaipur, now graces the temple, radiating peace and reverence. Through the years, the Samaj has stood as a pillar of faith and community, hosting daily prayers, uplifting bhajans, and meaningful events that bring people together. Even in the face of adversity, such as a devastating fire in 2002, the resilience and unwavering support of its devoted community have allowed the Samaj to emerge stronger. Today, it continues to inspire countless hearts, serving as a sanctuary of hope and devotion.
