Aumsai Sansthan Australia, Melbourne

Shri Raam Navami

On 9th March 2010 a group of ardent Shirdi Sai devotees met for the regular Aarati and Bhajan, discussed the possibility of building a traditional Shirdi Sai Temple in Melbourne to facilitate the freedom of worship of BABA in any form and way similar to the services of Shirdi Temple in India.  By BABA’s grace a small Baba’s idol was installed and a prayer room was made available for regular weekly bhajan. The events of Guru Purnima and the Baba’s Punyathithi for the year 2010 were also performed at the place. The Group decided to form an Association as support for the construction of the temple increased manifold with the growing turnout of the devotees attending the events.On 30th  September 2010 with Baba’s grace the group was formalized into an Association, “Australia Mission of SAI Incorporated (AUMSAI)”, with a mission to build the Shirdi Sai Temple. SAI may also refer to the Sanskrit term “Sakshat Eshwar” or the divine. AUM or Om can be translated as “I Am Existence”, a sacred invocation to be uttered at the beginning and end of a reading of the Veda or prior to any prayer or mantra. The Māndukya Upanishad is entirely devoted to the explanation of the syllable which  consists of three phonemes, a Vaishvanara, Hiranyagarbha and Iswara, which symbolize the beginning, duration, and dissolution of the universe and the associated Gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, respectively.Shirdi Sai is the Satguru or the divine one where the Gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva reside within. Baba in his sayings said, “Trust in ME and YOUR Prayer shall be answered”.   By pleasing the Satguru with your prayer you are pleasing the Gods.
