As the soil derives its importance from the flower in bloom, as the socket derives it’s importance from the diamond studded in it and as the cloth derives its importance from golden thread woven in it, as Shirdi derives its importance because of Sai Maharaj and so does GROTON, Massachusetts derives its importance because of the NESSP Sai Baba Mission Center and Sai Temple.

This mission for Sai is itself a right step in the right direction that is most important step for all. With the grace of Shri Sai and the support of devotees has made the impossible possible. The establishment of the Mission Center and Sai temple is a reality now. The construction is in full swing and the completion is expected by Dussehra, 2016.
