The board of trustees of world-renowned Sai Baba temple located in Maharashtra state of India - a sacred pilgrim destination and an holy abode of Sai Baba - has announced to hold a global conference of Sai devotees on April 3 and 4, 2010 in Shirdi town of India.

The proposed 2-day conference is expected to be a grand event that would facilitate the Sai devotees to participate in religious discourses.

Chairman of Shri Saibaba Sanstahan Trust, Mr. Jayant Sasane said, “The temple board has invited an active participation of the NRI community as the forthcoming conference’s endeavor would be to promote brotherhood among people of all religions.” 

In the latest move, the temple board has introduced a new and novel system that would allow devotees to jump the usual long queues at the temple for ‘darshan’ of the deity.  The temple board office would henceforth issue donation-passes each worth Rs 500 (approx. £8) to facilitate an entry in sanctum of the temple through a reserved gate.
