Message for Devotees:

For devotees’ well-being, Satcharita Parayan is conducted on the 2nd Saturday of every month from 8:00 A.M. – 8:30 P.M.  If you would like to include your family/friends in the Parayan, please send their name (s) via email to [email protected].

Please go to the SatcharitaParayan sub-menu under Charity tab.  Please note that we will accept names till 11:45 P.M. the previous day. For last minute request, we would appreciate if you could make the  request in person and prior to the start of the Parayan at 8:00 A.M. Devotees are encouraged to come to the temple on the Parayan day and read chapters from Shri Sai Satcharita.

As part of the Parayan, we prepare Udhi prasad along with Baba’s pocket size picture. For repeat request, we only provide Udhi packets.  In order to seek Baba’s blessings, the above mentioned packets are placed at Baba’s feet.  As part of the Parayan sankalpam, devotee’s names are silently read, at the start and end of the Parayan. The Udhi packets are distributed after the Parayan has been completed.   If you are unable to pick up the prasad on the Parayan day, you can pick them up Thursday evening or any other day from the meditation room at Shirdi Sai Center. We will notify you if the Udhi prasad has been placed in the meditation room. If requested, SSP can also mail it to your postal address which will be kept confidential.

Please let us know if you have any questions or if you have any special requests for receiving the Udi prasad.

 

 

 

Access Braille Project

SSP, in conjunction Access Braille, a non-profit organization has undertaken a project to digitize 10th grade textbooks (for India) for children with visual impairment. The details of the project currently underway are provided below:

Project Details:

1) Convert 10th grade (Indian) textbooks that are in Adobe PDF to MS Word. The Word document will then be converted to either audio or digital braille, by other organizations, so that children with visual impairment can use the same to prepare for the 10th grade exams.

2) Textbooks are available online.

3) Project basically comprises of copying text from the PDF document and pasting the same in MS Word. Minor edits will be required for the title, section headings and figures.

4) Documents will be maintained on Google Doc and a control sheet will be maintained to ensure that the conversion occurs seamlessly

5) Documents will be proof read by Access Braille volunteers

6) There is no copyright issue as Government of India has lifted the ban for converting text books, for visually handicapped individuals.
