I didn't touch the Prashad because of the way milk is left outside in the shoes area. Dirty rice cookers just placed willy nilly on the pathway that we use to walk around the deities. The priest was doing Abhishek and tossing milk cartons in front of the seated devotees. It just is so hard to feel spiritual and cleansed if you're surrounded by human disorder. Please go take a look at other temples to know how to conduct yourselves when doing an Abhishek. A pile of growing trash tossed out of the sanctum is hardly a spiritual experience. I wish the shoes area was clean as well but it's not. It's a mess. Please teach your staff to treat a holy area with some respect. As Hindus, we think it's wrong to find fault with a holy place but this review is strictly about how mismanaged everything over here is. It's about the disrespect shown by its people, not the deities.

One woman told me I can't sit in the prayer because I am wearing track pants & Tshirt I NEED TO WEAR INDIAN ATTIRE to be a part of the puja. She was speaking Telugu so few things I didn't understand. That's sick. I feel sad for her. I still sat for the puja. God doesn't decide the dress so what's with this sick mentality woman. I really wish I knew her name so that way she could stand out. I request the temple management to kindly take care of such situations politely. Her mentally is stinky. I would rather pray at home than being surrounded by such sick mental human. I am definitely never going back to this temple. Woman like her is a harm to the environment.

Many also speak multiple Indian languages catering to all devotees. However, my recent visit after the new year left me with a bad impression due to the way one priest behaved. He was trying to put the poles to streamline people which is understandable. The temple was not crowded but given it was post new year there was a constant flow of devotees. This priest was yelling and screaming, completely disrespectful to the devotees. He was so loud that we could not even hear the priests chanting of the Archana. He completely ruined the sanctity of the temple. The same task could have been done in many different ways, without having to yell and scream and spoil the devotees experience. I hope this is not something that will be repeated, for I would love to go back for a peaceful visit.

I had a wonderful darshan - my favorite part was the amazing smell of camphor and incense which added to the sense of serenity. After my wonderful visit to the temple, both times I found that was Prasad/ food being served ( vegetable pulao and korma and also some heart warming curd rice) I would highly recommend visiting the temple.

But some volunteer spoke very rudely to us and told the minimum age is 12 and above. This was a very bad experience for us and not at all what we expect from a place where Sai Baba is worshipped. Can you please fix your website to reflect what the correct minimum age should be - is it 5 or 12? I don't want any other family to experience what we did.

I met a Sadhu aka wandering holy man who gave me a business card of Sai Baba of Shirdi's main temple in India. I never went yet perhaps that was a predication to scope out the Sai Baba of Shirdi temples in the Bay Area years later.

Take a turn onto Arrowhead Avenue and suddenly there's this giant structure that looks straight out of India. What I really like about this temple is that it was built to be a Hindu temple -- it's not a converted church, like some of the other temples I've been to (which are also nice, in their own way). People have donated a lot of money to keep the temple looking authentic and well-maintained. I like going inside the main building and visiting all the murtis in their little houses. It is the suburbs, after all. Even the deities have nice cribs.
