Sri Shridi Sai Baba Shodashopachara Puja

Sai Baba of Shirdi, also known as Shirdi Sai Baba, was an Indian spiritual master who is regarded by his devotees to be a manifestation of Sri Dattaguru and identified as a saint & a fakir. He is revered by both his Hindu and Muslim devotees during, as well as after his lifetime. He preached the importance of realization of the self and criticized love towards perishable things. His teachings concentrate on a moral code of love, forgiveness, helping others, charity, contentment, inner peace, and devotion to God and Guru.

During these pandemic times, it is not advisable for devotees to attend Sai Baba Puja / Guru Puja by stepping out or inviting pandit to home. So for the benefit of all devotees, we Janata Temple are organizing Sai Baba Puja / Guru Puja online via zoom every Thursday. We are requesting devotees to make use of this opportunity and register for this ePuja and attend it via a zoom call.

Either you can perform the puja while our pandit is guiding you or Our pandit will be performing the puja with all puja material. To provide a quality experience to each family we will not mix the puja with other devotees. Devotees are advised to sit at their home Puja Room or any other calm place eligible for spiritual activity and join the zoom call. Janata Temple's customer service executive will make sure you are comfortable before starting the puja.

This puja will be live-streamed on our Facebook page so that devotee friends & relatives can view devotees participating in the puja and share their wishes.

 

Typically below Puja Material are needed if you are doing puja yourself. We will confirm this list once the pandit is confirmed. Puja Material list changes a lot based on the purpose of the puja, affordability of the puja yajamani, and pandit. Please contact us if you have any doubt.
