    Vision
    Establish Shri Shirdi Sai Mandir in New England and facilitate worship services to devotees.
     

    As the momentum grows and we continue to receive the support of the community, we feel the need to establish an independent temple structure in the honor of Shri Sainath Maharaj of Shirdi in the Boston metropolitan area for the benefit of all the devotees. This is our long term vision and we are taking measured steps towards its realization with the blessings and guidance of Shri Sai Baba.

     
    Background
     
    New England Shirdi Sai Parivaar (NESSP) was formed by devotees who share the love and are inspired by the life and teachings of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba. NESSP was registered as a Non-profit organization in the year 2006. We organized our first public event - Ek Sham Shri Sai Ke Naam by Pandit Ajit Kadkade on the auspicious Ganesh Chaturthi day - Aug 27th 2006. We continued to organize monthly programs like Bhajan Sandhya, Naam Japa, Parayan of Shri Sai and Guru charitra etc. We have also been doing our annual Baba's Palki Yatra wherein Baba in his royal Palki visits different devotee homes. Finally with the infinite blessings of Shri Sai Baba, we started the current temple on Dec 23rd 2007 Datta Jayanti day in Hall #8 of Sadhu Vaswani Center in Dracut, MA.
