Shirdi: Saibaba Sansthan trust has recorded Rs 1,441 crore income in the last five years, with 22 per cent higher donations received every year, Sansthan's executive officer Kishor More said on Wednesday.<br />The trust has spent Rs 828 crore on various beneficial works for devotees, including Rs 160 crore on hospital, 'prasadalaya' and funds allotted in the form of donations to various charity trusts, More said, quoting the figures recorded after the Sansthan's audit conducted recently by a government recognised agency.<br />Five years back, about 20,000 devotees used to visit the Saibaba's shrine daily, but presently figures show that around 60,000 people come to visit the temple everyday and the number goes up to about one lakh on weekends.<br />During special festivals at least two to three lakh devotees visit the famous shrine, More said, adding that the daily income now was around Rs 45 lakh, as compared to Rs 20 lakh per day five years back.<br />The trust has contributed funds on building super-speciality hospital, Shirdi's roads, water arrangements, various developmental works including Chief Minister's Relief fund and Shirdi's airport, he said.<br />The audited report of the Sansthan will be tabled in the state Assembly during the winter session for grant, he said.<br />When asked about 'hidden donations' in boxes like gold ornaments, cash and foreign currency, More said the trust has not a separate machinery to check such things because when devotees come to seek blessings of Saibaba they donate money, but from where they get it is difficult to know.<br /><img alt="Saibaba temple earned Rs 1,441 crore in last five years" class="img-bor-inner" src="http://znn.india.com/spacer.gif" style="display: none;" />Instead of counting donated money once in a week in practice five years back, now it is being counted twice a week and an officer from charity commissioner's office and Sansthan's officials remains present at the time of opening and closing of donation boxes, a video recording of which is also done, More added</div>

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court has directed the Maharashtra government to constitute a new committee to govern the affairs of the Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust in Shirdi in accordance with the new rules framed by it.<br />
"Considering the magnitude of the administration of the trust, a committee of deserving and competent persons is required to be constituted, which would administer the affairs of the trust efficiently and sincerely," Justice A V Nirgude and Justice Naresh Patil said while hearing two PILs.<br />
"The state would certainly be conscious of the fact that sentiments of millions of people around the globe are very closely attached with the shrine of Shri Sai Baba in Shirdi," the judges noted in their order on May 2.<br />
The bench further observed that the ad hoc committee, appointed by the court on March 30, 2011, shall continue to operate for two weeks from the date of the order.<br />
In case, the state constitutes a new committee after a period of two weeks from May 2, the ad hoc committee would cease to operate from the date of coming into existence of the state-appointed committee, the bench noted.<br />
The court, however, directed the ad hoc committee not to take any major financial decision till the new committee is constituted. The ad hoc committee was asked to observe the restrictions put up by the court earlier in this regard.<br />
The judges, while disposing of the PILs, said the observations made in respect of submissions made regarding the statutory rules shall be construed as prima facie in nature and shall not affect the rights of contesting parties if they resort to challenge the rules independently.<br />
By an order dated March 30, 2012, the High Court had appointed an ad?hoc committee comprising Principal Judge of Ahmednagar district, the Collector of Ahmednagar and the Chief Executive Officer of Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust, Shirdi, to manage the affairs of Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust. Since then, this committee is governing the trust.<br />

<strong>Shirdi: </strong>Coins worth <span class="rupee">R<span>s.</span></span> 1.5 lakh and other items offered by devotees were found in a defunct well which was said to be once used by revered saint Sai Baba, whose temple in Shirdi in western Maharashtra attracts a large number of people from India and also abroad.<br />The coins and other offerings were recovered during cleaning of the well in Lendi Baug area. Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust, which manages the temple's affairs, had undertaken the task of removing sediments to make the well fit for drawing water and overcome the shortage.<br />It is believed that Sai Baba himself used to fetch water from the well over 100 years ago.<br />
During the cleaning operation, coins of Re 1, <span class="rupee">R<span>s.</span></span> 2 and 5 denominations, thrown by devotees in the well, were recovered by workers. The value of the coins is around <span class="rupee">R<span>s.</span></span> 1.5 lakh, Sansthan sources said today.<br />The Sansthan is currently facing severe water shortage as the pond supplying water to the temple has dried up. Also, supply from Nashik's Darna dam is often irregular, leading to shortage of drinking water for the devotees.<br />Besides coins, small idols of Saibaba and coconuts were also pulled out, the sources added.</div>

SHIRDI: Feb 24, 2012, 05.28PM IST: More then diplomatic relations between the two neighboring countries,
it was dream come true for Gul Mohmmad Khan Jakharani and Ramesh Lal, the
members of parliament from Pakistan when they took samadhi darshan at Sai Baba
Sansthan here.<br /><br />While paying obeisance at samadhi, the two
parliamentarians from across the border minced no words of their wish about
further strenthening of cordial ties between two counties. "We had been hearing
about Shri Saibaba through various medias, especially the TV serials. Secondly,
Baba's message of Sabka Malik ek. categorically indicates towards valuing the
relationships, hence this attracted us. Insha allah, our dream of visiting the
Sai Baba's Samadhi has come true now", the two parliamentarians
said.<br /><br />Conversing in Hindi and English, while interacting with media
persons after taking darshan at samadhi mandir, the parliamentarians
categorically insisted on more efforts to be made in strengthening the ties
between two countries. Ramesh Lal, the MP from Pakistan said, "India is not only
a good neighbor but also a good commercial hub so far as business ties are
concerned. We look forward towards India as the best place, so far as commercial
openings are concerned. And, this shall help both the neighboring countries in
strengthening their economies as well."<br /><br />Meanwhile, referring to following
of Shri Sai Baba, the two MPs informed about setting up a special Sai Baba's
swaroop in a Shiv mandir of Karachi town where not just Hindus but muslims also
visit to pay the obeisence. Accompanied by Dr Yashwantrao Mane, the deputy chief
executive officer of Shri
Saibaba Sansthan Trust (Shirdi) and officials from sansthan, the two
parliamentarians visited Dwarkamayee where they took darshan of Dhuni and museum
to see the robes, vessels and beds used by Shri Shirdi Saibaba during his life

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: goldenrod;">12th Jan`2012</span><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/2887f4k.jpg" /><br /><br />Veteran Shirdi Sai Baba Devotee Shri.Dattatreya Deshpande Nimonkar`95 years, popularly known as “Datta” <br />passed away peacefully on 11th Jan`2012 in Nimon - a village, 20 miles from Shirdi`Maharashtra.<br />He was Shankar Rao Raghunath Deshpande alias Nana Saheb Nimonkar's nephew.<br /><br />Shri.Dattatreya Nimonkar had prophesied his journey to Baba, when he visited Shirdi a week before his death <br />to bid farewell to one of his very close friend, he did not visit Sai Baba's Samadhi Temple. <br />When questioned, he explained that since he will be going to Baba in few days, so why now !!!.<br /><br />Just, before the start of Datta's funeral procession, an anonymous devotee from Shirdi came to Nimon Village<br /> and applied the Sacred Sandalwood paste (which was applied on Sai Baba`s Idol in Shirdi) on Datta<br />and also put a Shawl (that was put on Sai Baba’s Samadhi in Shirdi) on him.<br /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i40.tinypic.com/6ydtw7.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.3em;"><b>- How Sai Baba graced his blessings on Shri.Dattatreya Nimonkar -</b></span><br /><br />The ancestors of Shri.Dattatreya Nimonkar hailed from Nimongaon`Maharashtra, so they were called ‘the Nimonkars’. <br />They were ‘Deshpande’ by caste. Nimon or Nimongaon is a village about 20 miles away from Shirdi in Maharashtra. <br />His grandfather, Shri.Nana Saheb Nimonkar, was Madhavrao Deshpande’s (Shama’s) paternal uncle. <br />Shama and his ancestors also hailed from Nimongaon. When Shama was 2 years old they moved to Shirdi. <br />Shri.Balwantrao (Shama’s father) had got Nana Sahib to Shirdi for Baba’s darshan and since then Nana stayed on in Shirdi.<br /><br />Nana Saheb’s nephew, Dattatreya was born in December of 1917 when plague was playing havoc in Poona, <br />so Nana Sahib’s son, Shri.Somnath Shankar Deshpande, (C.I.D. Inspector at Poona), decided to go to Nimongaon <br />along with Gopalrao, his 3 year old son because his brother's wife had been recently delivered of a child in Nimongaon.<br />On the way they stopped at Shirdi to have Sai Baba’s darshan. <br />When they were about to leave, Baba gave Udi to them and said, "Porala Jiva Love" i.e., "Save the child". <br />Somnath thought that Baba had blessed his child Gopalrao, so he gave him the Udi.<br /><br />On reaching Nimongaon, Somnath found his brother's new born baby to be in extreme bad health,<br />and all hope of its life was given up. The child, only 12 days old, was blue and cold, and was gasping for air. <br />It was then that Somnath realised that Baba had given him Udi to save Dattatreya’s life. <br />Frantically he searched for the Udi but could not find it as it was lost during the journey. <br />So, Somnath took the child and sent a fervent prayer to Baba to save the child. <br /><br />Baba came to his aid and after 15 minutes, <br />the body temperature of the baby returned to normal and the breathing grew steady.<br />And soon the baby’s condition improved and was later was named Padmakar.<br />When Padmakar was 2 months old, he was taken to Shirdi to have the darshan of Sai Baba.<br />Baba Himself took the Padmakar in His lap and said "Here is my Datta" (‘God’s gift’).<br />Hence Padmakar was named as 'Datta'.<br /><br />Datta was a bright lad and studied up to 7th standard in Marathi medium school. <br />He participated in all the activities of the village & as his civic duty he voted during the elections. <br />He owned vast acres of land, and he made a living by farming.<br /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i40.tinypic.com/6ydtw7.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/2cr6jog.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i42.tinypic.com/106d35i.jpg" /><br /><br />Shri.Dattatreya Deshpande Nimonkar was the uncle of Shri.Nandakumar Revannath Deshpande Nimonkar <br />who is the present guardian of the holy Padukas given by Sai Baba himself to Nana Saheb Nimonkar in 1898 <br />but were allowed for public darshan only after 2008, when Baba advised Shri.Nandakumar in his dreams to do so.<br /><br />Also since the first Ramanavami celebrations in 1911 @ Shirdi, it was Nana Saheb Nimonkar, followed by the descendants of Nimonkar's<br />who supply the Green Embroidered flag every Ramanavami, which along with other Flags is hoisted on the roof of Dwarakamai.<br /><br /><b>Source:</b> <a href="http://www.saiamrithadhara.com/" target="_blank">http://www.saiamrithadhara.com</a><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A Miracle occurred in Shirdi on the night of Thursday 05th Jan`2012.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right after Baba's Shej Aarti got over, an image of Sai Baba's face appeared on the wall of Dwarkamai.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Very distinctly seen, the face of Sai Baba appeared on the Nimbar (Niche) which is on the western wall of Dwarkamai.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Shri Sai Satcharitra relates that it was here that Baba used to have his midday meal, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sitting behind a curtain with his back to the Nimbar, and a row of devotees on either side of him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is also the place where Baba would sleep with his head pointing towards the Nimbar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sai Baba also occasionally did his Namaz (ritual prayers) here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This Nimbar also has a set of lamps placed by Baba in-front of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As this news spread, people from all over started rushing to Shirdi to be blessed by this miracle of Baba.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And slowly the crowds grew in such numbers that Shirdi Sansthan's Security guards also found it difficult to control them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chanting the name of Sai Baba, the inside & outside of Dwarkamai was flooded with devotees, all trying to get a glimpse of Baba's Image.</div>

<span style="color: blue;">02nd Jan`2012</span><br />
<br />
On 01st Jan`2012, around 4 lakh devotees reached Shirdi & so did quite a few politicians, <br />
all with the same motive - To start off 2012 with the Blessings of Sai Baba !<br />
<br />
However, one politician, Mr.Narendra Verma & family/friends, who also happened to visit Shirdi for Sai Baba's Darshan, <br />
entered Baba's Samadhi Shrine with their footwear on. Seeing which, when the other devotees raised objection, <br />
Mr.Verma & others quickly removed their footwear in the corner of an adjoining room.<br />
<br />
After Darshan, when Mr.Narendra Verma came out of the Temple, he apologized to all saying that due to the commotion <br />
caused by the huge rush of devotees, in a hurry they forgot to remove their footwear before entering the Shrine.<br />
But, while entering the Samadhi Shrine directly through the VIP Entrance, is there ever such a 'Rush'. <br />
And hadn't Shirdi Sansthan stop all VIP Darshan till 02nd Jan`2012, owing to the huge rushes this festive season?<br />
<br />
For which one can only imagine how the lakhs of other devotees<br />
remain careful, while queuing up midst huge rushes, for hours waiting for their turn of Baba's Darshan.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/2nqtb9k.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On 31st Dec`2011, Sai Baba's Samadhi Temple`Shirdi was kept open for devotees the whole Night </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so that all of them who had reached Shirdi for New-years Eve, could have Baba's Darshan. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a result there was no Shej Aarti on 31st Dec`2011 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
nor was there Baba's Kakad Aarti on 01st Jan`2012.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sai Bhajans were sung live, through out the night by various singers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And as the Clock Struck Midnight, Bells were Rung continuously </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while all devotees voiced out "Shri Sachchidananda Sadguru Sainath Maharaj ki Jai!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Laddu Prasad was sold through out the 31st night for which an extra 2 quintals of Laddu's were specially made</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and no VIP Darshan Passes were issued on 25th & 31st Dec`2011, 01st & 02nd Jan`2012.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As there was a huge rush of devotees, the Shirdi Sansthan had made arrangements for their stay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Awnings, Beds and Tents were put up in approx 61,000 sr.ft area in the open area of the 'Sainagar' Field,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the parking lots of the new 'Bhakt Niwas' & the 'Sai Prasad Bhakt Niwas'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apart from these, lodging arrangements were also made for the devotees, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the rooms of the Sansthan's Educational Complex Buildings. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the additional Lodging, next to the new 'Bhakt Niwas'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
arrangements were made for Prasad Meals for the convenience of the devotees.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://i43.tinypic.com/o5uqyu.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On 1st Jan`2012 alone a record 4 lakh devotees visited Shirdi for Baba's Darshan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and to clear such extra rush of passengers, the Central Railway (CR) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ran a "Shraddha Special" between Mumbai and Sainagar Shirdi,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the intervening night of 31st Dec`2011 - 01st Jan`2012</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From 23rd Dec`2011 to 01st Jan`2012, a record donation worth Rs 14 crore 60 lakhs was made at the Shrine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The donations included Rs.11 crore Cash, 1.25 kg Gold and 13.5 kg Silver.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to the annual report of the Shirdi temple for the year 2010-11, the temple has come to amass a huge fortune </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with its investment in fixed deposits with banks and government securities exceeding Rs.500 crore mark as of 31st March`2011.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The temple has Fixed Deposits with various nationalised banks worth Rs.466 crore,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while it has invested Rs 40.84 crore in Kisan Vikas Patra </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Rs.22 crore in Government Bonds aggregating to about Rs.529 crore.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides, the Shrine has 300 kgs gold worth approx Rs.28 crore,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3,000 kg silver worth approx Rs.4 crore & in 2011 alone it got Rs 250 crore in donations,</div>
