Satchidnand Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai
Sai Baba's Padukas
We are pleased to announce that in accordance with ancient tradition, devotees can now take Baba’s padukas from the Mandir for worshipping in their own homes. Baba’s Padukas have been consecrated in Baba’s Mandir on Gurupurnima 2019 and are made in shining silver. Family members (and neighbours) can get together and offer abhishekam, flowers, aarti, bhajans, perform Sri Sai Satcharitra parayan and other devotional services at their home.
It is very important that Padukas are worshipped daily and taken good care and returned to the Baba’s Mandir just as they were received. Padukas are to be re-turned to Baba’s Mandir by the promised return date.
Please handle Padukas carefully and ensure that they are not damaged during its use or while handling it. Use soft cloth or paper towels moistened with water (no chemicals) to clean padukas. Please don’t use any kumkum or chandan with color rather use flower petals.
