About Sai Baba
Baba’s gospel that He taught by example is that religious and communal differences are meaningless in matters of the spirit. He was the embodiment of dispassion, purity and simplicity and was an enigma to all. None knew His caste, creed or parentage and neither did He think it was important to reveal it. He taught the unity of all religions and the universality of Spirit in all existence. His method of teaching was through direct experience. We urge our readers who are new to the Sai Philosophy to read Sai Satcharitra – the wonderful life and teachings of the supreme master of our age.
Saibaba's Eleven Assurances
Who so ever puts his feet on SHIRDI soil, his sufferings would come to
an end. The wretched and miserable would
rise into plenty of joy and happiness, as soon as they climb the steps of
DWARAKAMAYEE. I shall be ever active and vigorous even after leaving this
earthly body. My tomb shall bless and look to the needs of my devotees. I shall
be active and vigorous even from the tomb. My mortal remains would speak from
the tomb. I am ever living , to help and guide all who come to me,who surrender
to me and who seek refuge in me. If you look to me, I look to you. If you cast
your burden on ME, I shall surely bear it. If you seek my advice and help, it
shall be given to you at once. There shall be no want in the house of my
devotees.
Temple History
Shri Shirdi Sai Baba Sansthan LA is an amazing organization that came into existence in less than 4months of conceiving the idea of bringing Sai Baba to LA area. It is believed to be truly miraculous how fast paced the developments took place culminating with first Sai Baba temple in Southern California on January 21st, 2007. Ever since that auspicious day, the number of devotees visiting the temple grew by leaps and bounds.
This miracle is possible only because of the overwhelming devotion displayed by the Sai devotees, volunteers and donors. The temple is in existence because of the devotees who visit regularly in large numbers participating in the religious activities. It is primarily the Sai devotion that translated the idea into a full-fledged temple for Sai Baba. The day-to-day activities in the temple are sustained by community participation of volunteers. They are to support puja, decoration of temple, maintenance of temple surroundings, organizing major events, fund-raising, communication to devotees, financial support, accounting, development and maintenance of web-site and devotee database etc.
One of the primary supports for the temple is obviously financial support. Every single dollar that is donated is extremely important to the temple for its sustenance. There has been overwhelming contribution to the temple fund by numerous donors so far this year. The Sansthan would like to extend heartfelt thanks and blessings from Sai Baba to the donors for being part of the devotional experience of Sai Baba, each individual in their own unique way.

Temple Rules
Maintain silence, decorum and reverence at
the Sanctum sanctorum.
· Practice humility at least in the holy atmosphere.
· Maintain absolute silence in the presence of the deity; make your prayers silently. In your enthusiasm to devour the beauty of the divine form in full, do not obstruct the view of those standing behind you. Do not yell out God's holy name too emotionally, as this could disturb other devotees who are silently praying to God. Switch off your cell phone, or leave your cell phone in your vehicle.
A visit to the temple is essentially to get some peace and tranquility in you from your hectic and distracting daily schedules and chores Dress conservatively
- Women should dress modestly when going to the temple. Wearing dresses like Saree or Salwar-Khamiz (or Churidar) or full pants.
grown-ups are advised not to wear ‘shorts, bermudas.
- As for men, the general dress code wearing a traditional ‘Dhoti' is desirable.
But even full pants/Pajamas are fine.
grown-ups are advised not to wear ‘shorts, bermudas.
Do not gossip, talk aloud or indulge in fun
and frolic inside temple.
The temple atmosphere must help you and others to elevate the minds from the mundane to the spiritual, at least
