Shri Shirdi Sai Baba - the name itself is eternal. The name is the bouquet of divine love and affection which builds courage, self-confidence and self-respect and for the believers SHRI SHIRDI SAI BABA is almighty.

Shri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir, BEML Nagar, KGF is such a divine temple attracting the devotees from all over. Baba Himself inspired, guided and made this temple happen.

Building a temple at BEML Nagar, KGF was never in the thoughts of temple trustees; but it was a dream come true. The trustees call it as Leela of BABA.

When Shri.Narendra Basu and his brother bought a piece of land, they thought of constructing a house for residential purpose. They invited ground water experts, a hydrologist and a traditional priest. It was a matter of surprise when they told that water is available at a depth of 200 ft, that too of a good quality whereas neighbour site owners struggled to get a drop after 1200 ft of digging. YES, THE TRUSTEES DID NOT NOTICE that this was an indication of divine existence though the traditional water detector holding coconut giving them a hint!

When Shri.Narendra Basu and his family visited a Shirdi Sai Baba temple at Pondicherry a surprise was awaiting them. That was their first visit. As soon the priest saw Shri.Narendra Basu with his wife entering the veranda, he said that he was waiting for them. He asked the couple to serve the food to the devotees gathered there. Finally, he asked them as to when they plan to start building the temple at their place? The couple were surprised. The priest said "you don’t know that BABAji is visiting your place often and play with your kids". After that incident, the couple started following one of their kids. During night the boy used to go to the windows or doorside and was speaking alone, laughing etc. The couple were worried. They asked several astrologers who told that this is a good sign and they are blessed by BABAji. 

After that day, Unbelievable things started happening. Shri.Narendra Basu's son one night, sitting on a stone like BABA told – “Don’t worry. I will take care. I am in that place. It is my place”. It was early morning 3 o’clock and his son was just 4 years old!  (It was on May 9th, 2014).

As a matter of fact, couple's wishes were fulfilled after worshipping BABAji at home. The twins are the blessings of BABAji. They offer themselves as subservient of BABAji.

HENCE, THE COUPLE DECIDED TO BUILD A TEMPLE ON THE SAME SITE WHICH WAS PURCHASED TO BUILD A HOUSE. But they didn’t have enough funds in hand. The couple initially planned to build only a 10x10 small temple. But one man came forward and encouraged them to build on the entire 30x40 plot and promised them to help. He didn’t return afterwards, but later on the couple understood that it was BABAji’s willingness.

The couple struggled to gather a small fund and then onwards started working on it. Their twin kids Sai Vijay and Sai Vinay performed bhoomi pooja at the site on the auspicious Ganesha Chaturthi Day on 25th August 2017.

During the coursse of first year, foundation was built and then they erected a pendal and performed Guru Poornima on 9th July 2017.  More than 500 people gathered for the Pooja and Annadana. With this, they got a hope that they are going to accomplish the task by the grace of BABAji.

During the course of Second year, i.e, 2018, they could build the wall and roof with the amount gathered through pledging of Shri.Narendra Basu's wife’s jewelry. Infact, BABA gave them the courage to pledge the jewels. They performed Guru Poornima there at the unfinished building on 29th July 2018. In the same building they could organize free medical camp for 1000 people and free eye test for 25. They decided to offer food but knowing their limitations, they decided to arrange food only for Doctors. But with the magical help of BABAj, they could serve food for more than 250 patients too.

From January 4, 2018, they started Bhajans and Prasad distribution on every Thursday.

Finally, they decided to finish the temple and establish the divine idol of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba. Again, they were left with no money to accomplish the task. With the help of good-hearted, philanthropic devotees who helped them unconditionally they could garner funds.

A devotee came forward to offer 12000 bricks. He explained that two years back BABAji came and ordered these bricks. This was a matter of surprise for them!!!!

A devotee who had formed a local group, who was trying to build the temple since many years but could not voluntarily gave all the money collected in the last 20 years and requested them to use the amount for buying the divine IDOL of Shri Sai Baba. This clearly indicates that BABAji had decided before 20 years only, to come and sit in this divine place.

The couple shifted a small marble idol which was being worshipped at home to the temple. At present this idol is used as Utsava Moorthy of the temple. They started Annadan as well on 2nd Sunday of every month.

At last, the couple accomplished the task of finishing the temple and installing the divine idol. Idol installation and Brahmakalashotsava was performed on 10th March 2019 with the grace of BABAji. While performing MAHA HOMA POOJA the priest openly asked that BABAji wants a name to call him, and finally he only announced that BABAji inspired him to call as ‘SWARNA SAI BABA’. Thus, all the devotees started calling SHRI SHIRDI SAI MANDIR, SWARNA SAI BABA with devotion and affinity.

The temple trust started social service activities like providing books to poor students, paying fees etc. Several ideas are in pipeline too.
