Paduka for Worship at Home

  • We are pleased to announce that in accordance with ancient tradition, devotees can now bring Baba’s Paduka from the Mandir for worshipping in their home.
  • The purpose of this service is to give Sai Devotees in Canada an opportunity to offer worship and devotional services to Baba in the manner which suits them the most, right in their homes. On occasions such as anniversary, birthday, house warming and other personal milestones, devotees can request Baba’s Paduka to be taken to their home for a short duration. Paduka are usually taken inside (or outside) a devotee’s home with Baba’s toes pointing in the direction of travel. When positioning the Paduka for worship, Baba’s toes should face the devotee.
  • Family members (and neighbours) can get together and offer Abhishek, flowers, aarti, bhajans, perform Sri Sai Satcharita parayan and other devotional services at their home.
  • Baba’s Paduka have been consecrated at Baba’s Samadhi Mandir in Shirdi and are made in shining silver. It is very important that the Paduka are worshipped daily and taken good care and returned to the Baba’s Mandir just as they were received. Paduka are to be returned to Baba’s Mandir by the promised return date.Please handle Paduka carefully as they are heavy and ensure that they are not damaged during transportation. Use soft cloth or paper towels moistened with water (no chemicals) to clean Paduka.
