Help Bring Lord Murugan to Shirdi Sai Temple

A Sacred Opportunity to Build a Legacy

With the divine grace of Shirdi Sai Baba and Lord Murugan, our temple has been blessed with the opportunity to welcome a beautiful Murugan murti (sacred idol) that will inspire devotion for generations to come.

We invite our community to become part of this historic milestone by helping us raise $45,000 to prepare a worthy home for Lord Murugan. Every contribution, no matter the size, becomes part of a lasting spiritual legacy and an offering of love and devotion.

Fundraising Goal: $45,000

Your Donations Will Help Fund

Your generous support will make possible every aspect of bringing and installing the sacred murti, including:

Shipping the Murugan murti from India
Freight forwarding and logistics
Customs clearance and import fees
Transit insurance
Traditional crown (Kireetam) for Lord Murugan
Beautiful Mandapam (sanctum shrine)
Raised stage and foundation
Abhishekam drainage system
Gold-plated decorative arch (Prabhavali)
100% silver ceremonial veil (Kavacham)
Silver feet coverings (Padukas)
Installation and final preparations for consecration

Every dollar donated goes directly toward creating a beautiful and dignified sanctuary worthy of Lord Murugan.

Why Your Support Matters

In Hindu tradition, helping establish a deity in a temple is considered one of the highest forms of seva (selfless service). The blessings of such an offering extend not only to the donor but also to their family and future generations.

By participating in this sacred project, you help create a place where countless devotees will:

Offer prayers for generations to come
Receive Lord Murugan's blessings for courage, wisdom, protection, and spiritual growth
Introduce future generations to our rich spiritual heritage

Your gift becomes a permanent part of this holy undertaking.

Support our Priest (Poojari) Fund

Help Strenghten the Spiritual Heart of our Temple

As Shirdi Sai Temple continues to grow, so does the need to provide daily worship, perform sacred rituals, and serve our expanding community. To fulfill this mission, we are raising funds to bring a dedicated Poojari (Temple Priest) who will help preserve our traditions and ensure that every devotee receives the spiritual care they seek.

A temple is more than a building—it is a living place of worship. The presence of a qualified priest allows the temple to offer daily prayers, sacred ceremonies, and guidance that enrich the lives of everyone who visits.

Why We Need Your Support

Your generous donations will help cover the expenses required to bring and support our Poojari, including:

Immigration and visa-related expenses
International travel to the United States
Initial housing and living arrangements
Religious garments and temple necessities
Daily support while serving the temple
Administrative and onboarding costs

Every contribution helps ensure that our temple can continue to offer regular worship and spiritual services to the community.

The Blessing of Supporting Dharma

Supporting those who dedicate their lives to serving God is considered a sacred act of dharma. By helping bring a Poojari to our temple, you are enabling countless acts of worship, prayers, abhishekams, homams, festivals, and blessings that will benefit devotees for years to come.

Your generosity helps make possible:

Daily pujas and aratis
Abhishekams and special sevas
Festival celebrations throughout the year
Religious ceremonies for families
Spiritual guidance for devotees
A vibrant and welcoming temple for future generations

Become a Sponsor and Be Part of This Sacred Mission

Supporting our Poojari is not simply funding a position—it is investing in the spiritual future of our temple and our community.

We invite you to join us in this seva with an open heart. Your generosity will help sustain daily worship, inspire future generations, and strengthen the sacred traditions that bring us together.

Om Sai Ram.
