In a bid to perpetuate the divinity of Sathya Sai Baba, his followers are planning to build a temple in his name on the lines of Shirdi Sai Baba shrine. The Samadhi at Puttaparthi will be converted into a temple.
The Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, which manages the global network of Baba’s spiritual and social activities, is believed to have conveyed this proposal to the state government. On its part, the government has also given a go-ahead.
The mortal remains of Baba will be buried at Sai Kulwant Hall of “Prasanthi Nilayam, a place where the spiritual guru used to address his devotees for nearly six decades. This will now become the sanctum sanctorum around which a grand temple is being proposed.
Baba’s devotees hope that Puttaparthi will continue to attract pilgrims from across the globe and remain a thriving spiritual hub once a grand temple is built.
