Our mission is also to construct a Shirdi Sai Temple in the area which will be a center for social and spiritual activities promoting Sai Baba’s message of Shraddha (Faith) and Saburi (Patience).

NESSP is an independent local organization that has been serving the devotee needs for last 7+ years. In addition to temple related activities , NESSP also believes in helping the communities that it’s part of. We have an active Charitable and Philanthropy charter and an all-round youth development program.

The proposed new Shirdi Sai Temple and Mission Center is not merely a structure but a whole ecosystem that provides individual soul nourishment as well as connects the community built around the teachings of Shirdi Sai Baba. It provides an environment for fostering togetherness and a platform and space for cultural, educational, charitable and religious activities. The new Shirdi Sai Temple and Mission Center ensures that our young ones have the opportunity to remain connected to their roots even as they find their place in the world and grow in their achievements.

The proposed Shirdi Sai Temple and Mission Center will have the following features :
• Temple and Prayer Hall as well as Dwarakamai and Chavadi
• A Multipurpose Hall to support various community events
