Sri Shirdi Sai Samsthan, Michigan is a non-profit organization which was started on Guru Purnima day (July 22) in 2002 by the Founding Members
Initially Bajans and puja’s for Baba were conducted in apartment rental places and later on were performed in Novi civic center.
The Samsthan has been growing since then with several volunteers who strengthened our goal to build a temple for Shirdi Sai Baba in Greater Detroit area.
In 2006 the organization became a member based Samsthan. This is run by a 9 member Executive Committee (EC) elected from the members who take care of day to day operations of the temple and a 10 member board of trustees (BOT) who give direction to samsthan and provide oversight to the EC.
They had 2 major fund raisers one in June 2006 and another one in April 2008 to collect funds for building a temple for Shiridi Sai Baba.
Since Jan 2008, they have extended the pujas and bajans to Saturday, besides just Thursday. Eventually the temple was bought in May 2008.
They had a grand inaugural function of the temple in Aug 2008. Since moving to the temple They have been performing daily aarthi and bajans.
In 2013, the by-laws are revised with the help of by-law revision committee accordingly the EC and BOT have been merged into a 15 member BOT. BOT’s are elected by the members. The BOT’s in turn elect the operating committee. Every year 5 BOT’s retire and 5 new BOT’s are elected.
In 2013 and 2014 the temple facade gets a new face lift.
The temple is located at 28875 W Seven Mile Rd Livonia, MI.
