Shirdi Sai Parivaar (SSP) is a volunteer based non-profit, spiritual and charity organization based in Milpitas, California, U.S.A. The organization is based on the teachings and philosophy of Shirdi Sai Baba, a great saint from India. Sai Baba taught the unity of all religions, universality of spirit in all existence and compassion for all living beings. Shirdi Sai Baba’s main attraction has been His embodiment of dispassion, purity, and simplicity. The main objectives of the organization are to:

  History and Activities of SSPShirdi Sai Parivaar started in early 2002 when a handful of devotees inspired by Shirdi Sai Baba’s teachings decided to conduct bhajan satsangh every Thursday evening in His honor. Initially, the gatherings happened at the homes of devotees. However, as the number of devotees increased, a bigger facility was sought in 2005. In 2006, SSP opened the Shirdi Sai Center at 897 Kifer Road , Sunnyvale, CA. In 2010, SSP moved to its present location at 1221 California Circle, Milpitas. The new location was inaugurated with a grand Shirdi Sai Pranaprathista function held from June 18th to June 20th , 2010.
