Hyderabad: The Long felt need for a facility to ensure a hassle-free


Darshan of Sri Sai Baba at Shirdi along with accommodation has been
fulfilled with the opening of an Information Centre in Hyderabad.
The Centre, located at the S Radhaswamy Foundation, Unit No. 110,
Deepthi House, YMCA Complex, Secunderabad was inaugurated by
chief minister K Rosaiah on Monday 30th August`2010.

It will be Managed by the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust, Shirdi.


Rosaiah said the Centre will immensely benefit the large number of
devotees who visit Shirdi from the state. “The majority of the
Worshippers at Shirdi are from Andhra Pradesh.
As their numbers are increasing steadily, the centre will be helpful in
arranging darshan and accommodation for them,” he said.

Many Sai Baba temples are coming up in the state as the devotees are
swelling. “During my stint as the Finance Minister, the late chief
minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy had suggested bringing
the Sai Baba temples under the purview of the endowments
department. But I opposed the move stating that it would create an
unnecessary controversy. YSR understood the complexity of the issue
and dropped the proposal,” Rosaiah said.

The Chairman of Sai Baba Sansthan Trust, Shirdi, Jayant Sasane said
the Information Centre would provide Online booking of
Darshan, accommodation and other facilities.
The Temple committee has constructed new facilities to provide
accommodation to 15,000 devotees. It has constructed a huge
‘Prasadalaya’ that can serve over 25,000 devotees daily.
