Brief Introduction about the Holy Place

Shri.P.L.Goyal, founder President of Sai Sudha Trust, Garkhal was a non believer in God and never visited any religious place up to the age of 38 years i.e., till 1969. He feels now that Sai's blessings were with him that a Sai devotee sent him Sai Satcharitra with Sai's photo in early 1969. In the beginning, he took it very lightly and put the book along with Photo in bookshelf and paid no attention towards these for a few months. One night he brought out the book and started reading it with great interest. He was so impressed with the contents of the book that he left for Shirdi the same year. Since then, he is a regular visitor of Shirdi. Now, he feels that Baba was behind him in all these incidents.

It was Baba's supernatural power that Dr.Goyal was transferred to Garkhal (Kasauli) Himachal Pradesh in 1971. He never heard or seen this place. When he joined this place, Baba gave an idea of constructing His Mandir. It was a challenge to Dr.Goyal. Without money and man power, to construct a mandir was impossible. Baba's supernatural power was working behind all this. The land was purchased though with difficulty, the work of constructiong Baba's mandir started. Architect and engineer were joined later on. The work was progressing satisfactorily though there was delay at times due to paucity of funds. Baba's divine support in sending monetary help was always there through some one or the other. Now a magnificient building of Sai mandir along with a Sai Ashram consisting of 16 rooms and two halls with all modern facilities where Sai devotees can stay comfortably has been fully completed. Baba's full size marble idol is in the Sanctum Sanctorum is blessing all who come to the Mandir.

People visiting this Mandir are wonderstruck and are experiencing immense happiness and serenity of mind that it is not the work of human being but rather it is the work of some supernatural power.

People generally ask Dr.Goyal to tell them Baba's miracle. Dr.Goyal, however, humbly says: "what miracle can I tell them when my life itself is full of miracles. I simply show them the construction of the mandir and ashram that they themselves can understand that all this is the miracle of Sai Baba, and they fully agree with me".

Sai Nath is a universal God. He is worshipped by all people of all religious faith and creed in their own ways. His avatar is in such a way that no body knows about His origin. Hence everyone claims Him as his god. Secondly Sai Baba led the life of a Fakuir with total detachment to any wordly things.

Dr.Goyal was very much surprised when he received a graceful donation from China. Baba's saying that time and space cannot bind Him is an all timne truth. Dr.Goyal humbly requests that more and more literature on Shri Sai Baba of Shiridi should be published and distributed free of cost so as to make all people obtain His divine grace. Whosoever surrenders at His Holy feet are relieved of their hardships and grief.

The number of Sai Temples is increasing day by day and it will go on increasing in future also but all such institutions are doing their services independently. Though there is brotherhood feeling among Sai devotees, yet Dr.Goyal feels that there should be one central organisation which can give direction to all the Sai institutions. He also wants people to develop Faith and devotion and get supreme Bliss. He says "we are all the children of Shree Sai Nath. Therefore let every one foster universal love and ideal of brotherhood.
