Shirdi is a small town in Maharashtra famous for the Samadhi temple of Shri Sai Baba, the great saint of modern India. Every commotion at Shirdi turns around the vast temple complex devoted to Sai Baba. This is the place where Sai Baba spent most of his life, and trained his devotees the truth and guided them along the path of love, forgiveness and truth. He is one of the greatest and most loved saints which India had been fortunate to see. After his death, Baba’s devotees built up a temple on his Samadhi that is now one of the most popular religious places in India. Every year, millions of pilgrims take Shirdi tour to catch a glimpse of this holy adobe and to pay homage to the saint.
Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi needs no introduction. He was instinctively addressed as Sai by one of the persons who first came in contact with him at Shirdi which means Savior, Master or Saint. ‘Baba’ means father or a grandfather. This mysterious fakir first made his appearance in Shirdi as a young man accompanied by a marriage procession and remained here throughout his life. He changed lives of all those who came into his contact and is constantly doing so still after his Samadhi in 1918. Till this date he answers all the prayers and call of his devotees. He is a characterization of spiritual accomplishment and an epitome of empathy.
