Thursday Bhajan Hosting at SSC, Milpitas
Shirdi Sai Parivaar started in
2002 when a small group of devotees got together every Thursday to do
bhajans, for Baba. Subsequently, the concept of Thursday bhajan
hosting was initiated. As part of this program, devotees got the
opportunity to keep Baba's portrait for a week and also host the
Thursday bhajan satsangh. This concept was the key driving force
for Shirdi Sai Parivaar's growth over the years.
We have decided to reinitiate the
concept of Thursday bhajan hosting at the Shridi Sai Center in
Milpitas. Devotees who are interested in the program, will be
able to host our weekly Thursday bhajan satsangh. Devotees can
bring flowers/prasadam for the evening and will be able to participate
in various activities related to Shej arathi. The Thursday bhajan
hosting program will start August 1st, 2011. Devotees who are
interested in hosting the bhajans are requested to send an email to saibandhu@shirdisaiparivaar.org.
