Shirdi Sai Baba’s 6th Varsikotsavam at SRIM Center
You are warmly invited to join us for an auspicious and grand celebration of the 6th Anniversary of the Inauguration / Consecration of the Shirdi Sai Baba murti and mandir at the SRIM Center. This program will be LIVE STREAMED from the SRIM Center Facebook page on June 16th beginning at 8 AM Eastern time with Baba and Sri Chakra Abhishekams and powerful evening homas starting at 5 PM.
In May 2014, Her Holiness Amma Sri Karunamayi initiated a series of miraculous events that led to the construction of the temple, creation of the Shirdi Sai Baba murti and Baba’s arrival at the SRIM Center. Amma personally conducted this powerful ceremony enlivening Baba (prana pratishta). June 16, 2020 will be a day of reflection, grand celebration, joy and gratitude for Amma and Baba’s presence in our lives. Please see below for the program schedule, sponsorship opportunities and Kishore’s full story of these miracles–along with historic photos!

The Story of how Shirdi Saibaba came to SRIM Center
The very first Atirudram ever conducted in Atlanta was happening under the auspices of Amma Sri Karunamayi in SRIM Center, May 1-11, 2014.
Day 3 of the Atirudram: Amma revealed Her divine plan for a Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir in SRIM center immediately to capture all the divine energy being generated by the Atirudram.
Amma’s devotees connected with the sculptors in India, and it is a mini-miracle that on the 7th day of the Atirudram, Baba arrived weighing over 700 lbs to SRIM Center from India! At the conclusion of the Atirudram, Amma gave the auspicious date for the consecration of the Shirdi temple as June 23rd, 2014.
The consecration date chosen by Amma gave a little over a month to get the Shirdi Baba temple constructed! With the dedication of Amma’s devotees John and Dass, working night and day, the temple was constructed in the yagnasala in a record time of less than a month. A second mini-miracle.
Amma had told us that from the day the Mandir is consecrated, Arati for Baba has to take place four times a day without fail. So we had to find a resident priest for Shirdi Baba mandir immediately. Amma’s devotee Janardana identified Pandit Hari Kafley, a sanskrit scholar and well-versed with priestly duties. So from the day the temple was consecrated, we had a priest to serve Shirdi Sai Baba, completing a hat trick of mini-miracles to bring Shirdi Sai Baba to SRIM Center, where He has been blessing us ever since.
