Sairam Manisha ji,
I wanted to share the Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple information with you for your website.We visited this temple few months back and I have information which I would like to share with all the Sai devotees.The temple is very close (about 5 miles or less) to the very famous Sri Venkateshwara temple, Pittsburg.We have visited the temple couple of times so far and have received Baba's Prasadam each time.
By Lord Sai's grace and blessings,I had again the opportunity to visit Shirdi Sai temple in Pittsburg USA last weekend .This time,we were able to click a couple of photos of the temple from outside and inside.
Inside,there is a big hall with Lord Dattatreya pratima in marble and Shirdi Sai Photos and photos of other Gods.I was allowed to take photos of this hall too and I am attaching those photos as well.
After requesting the person in charge of the temple Mr.Chandra Raghu, with permission from temple management, he was able to get Baba pratima's photo mailed to me few days ago. My sincere pranams to him for helping me get the main Pratima's photo of Baba just to share with the website viewers. My sincere pranams to you too for sharing this information in your website
Would like to mention that the room where Lord Sai's Pratima is kept is a big hall .It is a beautiful marble pratima and right in front of the marble pratima is Lord Shivalingam.Baba bhajans are conducted every Thursday and about 20 local families attend the bhajans. Also, next to this main room, there is another room where Dhuni is kept and also has a shop selling Baba's CD's, cassettes and books.
Shirdi Sai Baba Temple was the first Shirdi Temple in the United States, started in the 1980’s by Sri Panduranga Rao Malyala and his wife Mahalakshmi.A 5’3” marble pratima of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba sits in the sanctum.The Temple is not far from the popular Sri Venketeswara Temple and Hindu Jain Temple’s near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Temple offers many Hindu services and sacraments.
Name of the temple - Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple Pittsburg.
History of the Temple:
The main purpose of the temple is to extend peace and joy to entire humanity by earnest prayers for the welfare of all beings.Ordered by Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi Himself. Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple of Pittsburgh was initiated in 1979 under His divine guidance.It was fully operational from July 24th 1985 and ran in a rented house in Turtle creek,a Pittsburgh suburb,till August 1988 and from September 1988, in the basement of 3744 Old William Penn Hwy.
After many trials and tribulations,the Municipality of Monroeville approved the buildings on 1449 and 1451 Abers Creek Road,currently home of the temple,facilitating the purpose (resolution no: 90-25 ST dated august 13, 1991. )We left a photograph of Sai Baba on the site on Vijayadasami,Thursday,October 17th in the presence of devotees.
Later, a small Baba pratima consecrated at the Shirdi Samadhi Mandir and a life size picture of Baba were installed amidst a lot of devotees on Saturday December 7th 1991 (Sri Prajotpatti nama samvatsara, Marga Sukla Vidiya, Moola Nakshatra yukta Abhijit lagna at 12 noon.)
