Shirdi Sai Community Center, Mekkudi Village, Tiruchirapalli - 620 012, Tamilnadu.

Temple Highlights

Shirdi Sai Trust, came into being in 1996. Shri. M. Meenakshi Sundaram, an Advocate from Tiruchirapalli, set foot on the Holy Land of Shirdi in 1982 for the 1st time with his family. From then on began his tryst with the Sadguru. Almost every year he visited Baba when in 1995, Baba decided to company him to Tiruchirapalli. Poojya Shri. Sivanesan Swamiji gave a portrait of the Sadguru Shirdi Saibaba to Shri. M. Meenakshi Sundaram as a birthday gift and told him to take it along and begin the process of building a Temple in Tiruchirapalli for the Sadguru. Thus Baba built for Himself this Shirdi Sai Community Centre and has thence guided in the various services from His portal.

Shirdi Sai Community Center is home to Sai Ganapathi Temple in the North, Dining Hall in the South, Ratna Sai Mandir and Dwarakamai to the East and Gurusthan to the West. The Nanda Deep (Ever Burning Lamps) burns in the North West.
