A Brief History of the South Shirdi Sai Baba Temple:

Indian spiritual teacher Shirdi Sai Baba was adored by both Hindu and Muslim worshippers during and after his lifetime. He was regarded as a saint. In his teachings, Sai Baba stressed the value of the discovery of the self and condemned attachment to perishable things. He emphasizes a moral code of compassion, forgiveness, service to others, generosity, contentment, inner peace, and respect for God and Guru in his teachings. Sai Baba opposed discrimination based on any race or religion. Sai Baba emphasized the value of sharing and urged charity.

There are many devotees across the world for Sai Baba, and many visit Shirdi for his blessings, but now we have Shirdi Sai Baba in our very own Tamil Nadu. One of the largest Shirdi Sai Baba temples in Asia is the 50,000 sqft Akkaraipatti Sai Baba Temple, It is situated in Trichy’s Akkaraipatti, a tiny town adjacent to Samayapuram. The magnificent Akkaraipatti Sai Baba Temple is situated on the Chennai-Trichy National Highway, about 4 kilometers from the Samayapuram toll booth.

It is also heartening on a spiritual level to know that Shirdi Sai Baba appeared in a vision to K.Chandramohan the Chairman of NTC Group of Companies, and instructed him to construct a temple for Him in Akkaraipatti. On January 20, 2020, the Kumbabishekam was performed in the presence of many spiritual authorities.

In comparison to the other states in South India, Tamil Nadu stands out for having the most temples and the best temple architecture.
