Shirdi Sai Trust

This temple is run by the Shirdi Sai Trust, which traces its roots to the All India Sai Samaj, founded in Chennai in 1941 by Sri Narasimhaswamiji, one of the earliest organized movements spreading Shirdi Sai Baba's teachings out of a modest rented room in Triplicane. The Pattipulam branch on the East Coast Road continues this charitable tradition, running a free food service (Annadhanam) and a Sai dispensary for devotees, and publishing the Sai Sudha magazine.
