the temple increased manifold with the growing turnout of the devotees attending the events. On 30th September 2010 with Baba’s grace the group was formalized into an Association, “Australia Mission of SAI Incorporated (AUMSAI)”, with the mission to build the Shirdi Sai Temple. We are conducting all events similar to that of Shirdi in hired halls to facilitate everyone attending the events. Temporary/Permanent place of worship/temple run by the Association shall be known as “AUMSAI SANSTHAN AUSTRALIA”. The temple is unique with simple guiding principles, SHRADDHA (Firm Faith) and SABURI (Patience or Perseverance). Significance of AUMSAI
