Our Story

A Home for Sai Devotees in Delaware

Shirdi Sai of Delaware is a sacred space dedicated to Sri Shirdi Sai Baba — a spiritual master revered across faiths for His teachings of love, compassion, and unity.


Our temple serves as a spiritual home for the local community, bringing together devotees for daily worship, festivals, bhajans, and seva. All are welcome, regardless of faith, background, or walk of life — in the spirit of Baba's timeless message of universal brotherhood.


"Do not be obsessed by egotism, imagining that you are the cause of action: everything is due to God."
