My first visit to the temple was late at night just beforw closing time on a Friday and it wasnt too crowded, temple is very crowded on weekend's and Thursday. The temple complex is huge and one must ask his way around. The sai baba samadhi just leaves you speechless and spell bound for some reason. Will definitely visit again god willing. Please leave your Mobiles in the hotel before going to the temple as they are not allowed inside.
The energy of tranquillity at Baba's Mandir is mindblowing.We attended an afternoon darshan - which was so emotional for me . being in the presence of the Divine is just indescribable. the pundit was so good to us - he gave us time to pray without being hurried - so much of patience and goodness. you experience that positive energy all round . we did not have a long wait as we went to the ticket office earlier -paid and collected our tickets for the express line. As we are NRI's - you must have your passport for the ticket office. we followed the express line queue which did not take more than 20 minutes. the darshan is unique experience and can only be fully appreciated once experienced. the entire complex is well organised and has such a calming effect in just being there. I am so appreciative to have had the opportunity to go to Baba's Mandir.
Not easy to reach in as it is tme consuming. If one has contacts - can go through the VIP area or Pay online to get a VIP pass - then time consumed may be less. As you approach the Samadhi a typical feeling of peace is generated and a feel of satisfaction that we have done darshan is there. in one's life this place is amust to be visited.
I didn't see the logik in Travelling all the way to Shirdi to visit Temple. You can do the same darshan from any other Sai Baba Mandir without the hassle of crowd. You are not even allowed to see anything all they do do is rush you in push you out in no time.
am lot off happy to see baba's mandir and samadi it wasa very good expiriance in at temple i love baba lots om sai ram i
well maintained system to control the rush of public and security systems also too much good so plaese visit once to see all systematic arrangment to controlling the crowd in holy place.sai sansthan also having fooding, breakfast, accomodation in too much reasonable rate so please before doing any thing first ensure from office of sansthan because there every type of facilities avalble i,e: like good toilet and bath rooms,mobile phone lock room and cloack room etc.
great place..you get overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of aura when you stand in front of sai..mesmerising,out of the world experience....Well managed too
It is the main temple of Sai Baba. There was a huge line for the darshan. It was stopped due to Arti in afternoon. It took around 3 hours for the Sai baba darshan. One can go and come to Mumbai in a single day after the darshan.
I like this place very much. They have free darshan and quick darshan to the temple.Numerous food courts and hotels are available around.
The temple is visited by devotees, travellers, people from all religions and sects, form all over the world. The temple has a minimum waiting time (in que) of 3 to 4 hours. We were lucky to go there on Monday as we just had to wait half an hour for Darshan. Thursdays and weekends are heavy rush days so if Darshan is the only motive then these days can easily be avoided. Donation with a proper recipt was a nice way of introducing transparency into the system.
