Shree Sai Ashish Foundation Manasa, a not-for-profit organization was formed and incorporated in the State of Madhya Pradesh at Manasa
Shree Sai Ashish Foundation Manasa is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, and scientific purposes. The primary objective of Shree Sai Ashish Foundation Manasa is to establish Shri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir in Manasa and facilitate worship services similar to Shri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir in Shirdi, India. Other objectives of the organization include charitable activities such as medical aid to the indigent, relief to people affected by natural calamities, organize shelters to the homeless, feeding of the destitute (annadaana); translate, print, publish or distribute books, periodicals and literatures to promote the goals and objectives of the organization; to promote Baba's philosophy, sponsor or support religious, spiritual, cultural, educational or charitable activities. A special worship service on every Thursday evening include Samoohika Vishnu Sahasra Nama Parayan, Shri Sai Ashtothara, Bhajans, and Shej Arati followed by Mahaprasad. In addition, all major religious functions such as Ram Navmi, Guru Purnima, Gokul Ashtami, Maha Shivaratri, and Baba's Maha Samadhi Day are celebrated with utmost devotion. As the demand for these services increased with enthusiastic participation of ever increasing number of devotees, the organization deemed it necessary to obtain services of a full time priest. With the Grace of Baba, we will be successful to bring Head Priest in Shri Sai Baba Mandir. Shree Sai Ashish Foundation Manasa has been tirelessly engaged to find a place of its own to establish Sai Mandir. With the Grace of Baba, we were able to purchase approximately 2.5 acres of land in Manasa Madhya Pradesh and started construction of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir Manasa in 2009 that happened to be a Thursday, and a full moon day combination. Daily worship services and four Aratis will performed at this location. We plan to build a a multi-purpose hall, kitchen and expanded parking in 2012. The long term plans of Shree Sai Ashish Foundation Manasa include development of its, staff quarters and retreat facilities for devotees not only to have daily worship services but also spend a day or two or more in quiet solitude and meditation or in the study of scriptures.
