Sai Baba Center in Milpitas
As Dimple reported earlier, Shirdi Sai Center is opening in Milpitas at a bigger facility.
The opening ceremony and various programs are from June 18th – June 20th. Here is the schedule:

1221 California Circle, Milpitas, California.
Now California Circle has a church, a gurudwara, a swaminarayan mandir, and shree sai baba center.
Sunday evening on our way back home from various events decided to stop by for quick Darshan.
Ended up with nostalgic experience of going thro’ multiple section of queue and at the end very similar set up like Shirdi with Darshan queue in middle and extended prayer sitting sections on sides.
Nostalgic because Shirdi was half an hour bus/Jeep ride from Loni (place I went to for Grad school). And it was our frequent and kind of only place to visit from hostel. And yesterday’s quick darshan turned into standing in queues brought back memories of visiting Shiridi with friends. New temple facility is well done. It include main mandap with big size baba statue, floor sitting & church style bench sitting for extended prayer, cultural hall with stage, Dinning room, Kids activity room, small store etc. Looking forward to new options of activities at this location.
From our home now we can have KV Pagpada Jatra to Saibaba temple then Gurudhwara then Swaminayaran temple ending with picnic at the park 🙂
Updated the post with a photo from the center that we took when we went there on Sunday. Was lot of crowd and facility is really nice as Dimple said. Facility will reopen in a few weeks when some unfinished work is over.
