What is Sai Baba Pooja?
Sai Baba Pooja is the worship of Shirdi Sai Baba with abhishekam, archana, aarti and naivedya, done at home on Thursdays, for the nine-Thursday Sai Vrat, on Guru Purnima and whenever the family wants to thank Baba for answered prayers.
Sai Baba of Shirdi taught shraddha (faith) and saburi (patience). Thursdays are kept as his day, and many families keep the Sai Vrat — a puja on nine Thursdays, ending with feeding the poor and distributing the Sai Vrat book.
