Mandir Expansion Projects (Sai Aangan)
Shri Sai Baba’s new silver Simhasan is set to grace the Mandir in early 2025.
With Shri Baba’s blessings, we secured permits from the City of Aurora for Mandir expansion. Engineering and architectural preparations are underway, with the groundbreaking ceremony planned for the first half of 2025.
Looking Ahead to 2025

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, the Executive Committee, and our devoted volunteers, we thank you for your generosity, prayers, and love.
