Om Sai Ram To All Readers, Bhivpuri is the 1st Sai Temple in the World,
built in 1916, even before Baba had taken Maha-Samadhi by an atheist turned staunch devotee Shri.Keshav R.Pradhan.
In this Temple one can see the the statue of Sai Baba which Baba HIMSELF had given to Shri.Keshav and had told him
“Go to Bhivpuri. Build a temple for me there. Keep this statue in the temple and worship it. You need not come to Shirdi any more.”
Pradhan returned to Bhivpuri but did not follow Baba’s instructions. When he next came to Shirdi Baba said,
“When I have come to your house, why have you come here? Bhivpuri is your Shirdi. Go there and do as I told you.”
So, Pradhan built a small temple near his house at Bhivpuri & installed & worshiped the statue of Baba.
In the silence of the night the sound of the temple doors opening would sometimes be heard. Baba’s form would be seen coming out of the temple and resting under a tree in the front yard.
The sound of the temple doors closing would be heard again at three in the morning. All these leelas were experienced not only by Pradhan and his family but also by other devotees.
This Temple is only 1Km. from Bhivpuri Road Railway Station in Karjat Taluka of Raigad District Maharashtra.
Om Sai Ram..
