Shirdi Sai Center Of Texas — Attraction in Irving

Just have a complaint towards a man (old) I don’t know what’s his name. He was standing near abhishekam for shivling (not the one who was allowing to pour milk) I just asked him my son wants to sing lingashtakam today can he do that? VERY RUDELY HE SAID “I SHOULD GO AND TALK IN FRONT, WE DONT KNOW ALL THIS”. My son is 9 he himself was shocked and asked why is he speaking like this. When a 9 year old can understand this I think he is more elder to know how he should speak with others. He is in temple he doesn’t have a common sense how he should talk to people who came to the temple. What is the use of he doing and being with god when doesn’t respect other human beings. I think mostly he is the volunteer. If he is tired then he should be at home what I feel, no one are free here, with lot of bhakthi and for positive vibes people come to temple. Please the management should take care of this. I wish the person whoever is should see this message. And we have come all way from Argyle here...

We visited on a Friday for the Shej Harathi at 8:30 pm. The temple has multiple deities including Sai Baba, Sri Sita Rama, Durga Matha, Kanyaka Parameshwari, Subramanya Swamy, Dattatreya, and Sai Ram. Since it was the final Harathi, we were fortunate to witness the Harathi for all the idols. The priest kindly gave devotees the opportunity to offer Harathi, which felt truly special and blessed something you don’t get everywhere. I highly recommend visiting during the Harathi, especially the Shej Harathi. It was a very peaceful and divine experience, and we felt blessed to offer...

I’ve been visiting this Sai Temple for many years — I can’t even remember since when — but I had my worst experience today. It was Thursday, and I had prepared prasad for the temple. My husband and I fast every Thursday, so I asked for a cover to take some prasad home. The lady in the kitchen, wearing a yellow sari, said, “No cover, no take home, eat here.”

I was shocked — this has never happened before. For the first time, I left Sai’s darbar without prasad. She was even giving it away in small trays covered with aluminum foil, so I don’t understand why I couldn’t take mine....
