After eighty years of Shri Saibaba’s Mahasamadhi in the year 1918 in Shirdi ; in the year 1998 this temple of Shri Saibaba was constructed primarily on a platform of eight squire feet consisting of eight pillars at the plot no. J-44 Ashiyana Colony,Kanpur Road, Lucknow, U.P., India and we started worshiping the God Incarnate Shri Saibaba in this Temple on 6th Feb 1998. May be a coincidence but the total count of 6:2: 1998 is 08 again. It is God’s Will.
From the very beginning Bhagwat-Katha, Bhajan-Keertan, all the four morning, noon, evening and night prayers (Arati) of Baba have been regular features. Besides annual functions as Sthapana-Diwas, Ram-Navami, Guru-Purnima and Vijaya-Dasmi/Punyatithi of Shri Saibaba, are celebrated on large scale with Palaki Shobha-yatra, bhajan-keertan and bhandara/langar . Abhishek Puja of Shri Sai Nath is also performed on all above mentioned occasions.
Clothes , shawls and blankets are distributed to the poor and needy persons of the society on the occasions of afore mentioned ceremonies. Every year separate budget provision is made by the trust for distribution of clothes, sarees and blankets for the distribution to the deprived class of the society.
Food/Prasad is served on every Thursday and all the aforementioned occasions to the devotees as well as poor and deprived persons of the society. Besides on the request of devotees food distribution to the poor is arranged on other days also.
A trust body registered dt. 03/03/03 No.30/03 Lko. as Shri Saibaba Karmayogabhaktijnan Samsthan is looking after the management of the temple. The Trust is Headed by Mrs. Madhuri Singh as Managing Trustee. Other members of the Trust are Mr. Chandra Prakash Singh, Mr.L. S. Chauhan , Mrs. Aditi Singh Negi, Mrs. Devika Singh and Dr. Miss.

In the mean time after the demise of Mrs. Madhuri Singh the Managing Trustee on 13th July 2023, the Board of trustees was amended by a resolution dated 17th of July 2023. According to the said resolution signed by all the trustees Mrs. Aditi Singh became the Managing Trustee, accompanied by Mrs. Devika Singh and Mss. Dr. Malavika as trustees. Mr. Lakshman Singh Chauhan and Mr. C.P.Singh withdrew from the responsibilities of trusteeship ,so they ceased to be trustees further.
We are ardent devotees of Shri Saibaba. We are trying our best to make the people understand that God is one and all of us are His beloved children. Our methods of prayer and the codes of conduct may be varying according to varying geographical factors and consequent nature’s requirements, but all the sensible persons are engaged in seeking His mercy to live comfortably and let others live likewise. God is one and the only one who controls and manages our lives.
