Shirdi Sai Summit to focus on services to the community
The Shirdi Saibaba Sansthan of New Zealand celebrates its fourteen years of establishment in New Zealand and is hosting a two-day summit on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 February 2016.
The Sai Temple in Auckland is one of the world’s largest Sai Temples and more than 40 delegates from different countries will be attending the event. The summit is organised at the temple on 12 Princes Street, Onehunga commencing from 10 am.
The theme of the summit for this year would be the Role of Temples in the Development of the Community. Since temples are built for the benefit of the community, the Shirdi Sai temple is looking for more avenues where the community can utilise and benefit from the services of the temple.
Retired IPS Officer Dr Chandra Bhanu Satpathy, well known as ‘Guru Ji’ will grace the event as the Chief Guest for the day. In his early years, Dr Satpathy has donned the role of the Director General of Police of Uttar Pradesh (India) and is also the Founder of Shirdi Sai Global Foundation.
Dr Satpathy in his long fruitful journey spanning over a period of 27 years has inspired to open more than 300 temples across the globe and has done 315 ‘Pran Prathisthas’ (invoking life in idols).
Other prominent personalities to attend the event include MR Sadashiv Lokhande, MP Shirdi, Maharastra and Dr Bawa Jain, Secretary General, World Council Religious Leaders, USA.
The event will focus on adopting various projects in the future keeping the community growth and development as the main agenda and focus. Community leaders, MPs and devotees will be present at the summit to give their ideas, suggestions and advice for the future projects to be undertaken.
The major meet of this kind was first held in Chicago in November 2000. The current summit is the first of its kind happening in the Southern Hemisphere under the guidance of Guruji Dr C B Satpathy. Delegates from India, USA, UK, Germany, Malaysia, Australia, and Canada will be attending the event during the weekend.
“The temple has been built with the contributions from the community; it’s time to work more for the community in the true spirit of giving back to the society. The summit is being held to kick start the concept and make it an ongoing campaign, not just here but in every temple across the world” added Duvvuru Bhaskara Reddy, President of the Shri Shirdi Saibaba Sansthan of New Zealand Incorporated.
The sansthan will be releasing a souvenir to mark this momentous occasion and hopes to raise a huge $12000 through it. The organisation has adopted the project of Starship Foundation and will be donating this money to the charity in the concluding session of the summit.
On the first day of the summit, the temple committee will give a presentation on Global Shirdi Sai Movement, and role of Social Media. The event will also discuss the theme “Getting closer to Sadguru- Role of Literature/Satsangh”
On the second day of the summit the delegates will deliver presentations on the issues and challenges associated with management of temples and non-profit organisations. The 2nd session of the day will enlighten the audience about the community service initiatives being undertaken in USA, Europe, UK, Australia and India by Global Shirdi Sai Movement.
The money raised from the souvenirs will be donated to the Starship Foundation that will be used for creating new projects for the community.
