To serve the community in all possible areas including health promotion activities, in line with the teachings of Shirdi SaiBaba. ABOUT SANSTHAN
On 2nd February, 2002, a group of like minded devotees of Sri Shirdi SaiBaba met, discussed and decided to form a Sansthan. The immediate goal of Sansthan was to establish a temple for Baba in Auckland which would assist in spreading the wonderful life and teachings of Shri Baba. By His grace and with his blessings, Shri Shirdi Saibaba Sansthan Of New Zealand Incorporated was established on 4th June 2002. The vision of the Sansthan is to make people become aware of Shri Shirdi SaiBaba, his life and his teachings so that devotees and their family can mould their activities in such a way to attain satisfaction and total fulfilment and make their life meaningful. The primary objectives of the Sansthan are:
To operate and maintain Shri Shirdi SaiBaba’s Temple in Auckland at 12 - 18, Princes St, Onehunga. Auckland
To serve the community at large in meaningful ways which would add value to both individuals as well as the community
To publish printed materials and thru’ the website, articles about Shri Baba, His life, teachings and His philosophy combined with devotees’ experiences of Shri Baba in their day to day lives. We seek Shri Baba’s blessings and His grace on us to carry out these tasks and we seek your complete support in making this project a great success. Shri Shiridi SaiBaba Sansthan Activities
