As devotees of Sai Baba and Meher Baba, we at The Sai and Meher Centre for Healing and Spiritualism have had the great pleasure of travelling with a number of seekers to Baba Sai/Avatar Meher Baba’s Samadhi so they can experience the splendour of His presence.

Due to a variety of circumstances, including financial ones and others, not many of us are fortunate enough to be able to travel on pilgrimages. The centre helps a handful of these searchers fulfil their dream of visiting Shirdi or Baba’s Samadhi in Meherabad thanks to Baba’s many blessings.

The arrangements are simple. Depending on the number of people wishing to visit Meherabad, we can book a vehicle, driver + volunteers that can take them there. The centre sponsors the expenses for the travel of underprivileged freshers only.

Those who can afford are expected to pay for actual expenses. You can enjoy the energies of the Samadhi, spend some time at the Ashram and return by late afternoon /evening. Lunch and travel is 100% sponsored for the underprivileged. Due to the long distance to Shirdi, all three meals i.e. breakfast lunch and dinner are provided along with the snacks and tea. For Meherabad only lunch is provided. Each trip to Shirdi costs approximately Rs. 35,000/-. Meherabad being closer to Pune costs Rs. 24,000/-for 32 seater.
Expenses of meals tea and snacks is extra

You can partly or fully sponsor for the trips. You can also pay directly to the bus operator or the caterers.

Sometimes, it may not be possible for any of us from the Centre to accompany the group of visitors. It is then, that we would really require assistance / volunteers.

Every trip would ideally require at least 2 volunteers to accompany the group. The group would be made up of diverse people from different and social and economic backgrounds, young and old, and the volunteers should be able to take them to and around the various places of spiritual interest in Meherabad.

Mostly we take the underprivileged, mentally retarded children, handicapped, and deaf and dumb, blind etc. from various organisations in a 17, 32, 45 or a 50 – seater bus.

While it is mandatory for the caretakers of the concerned organisations to accompany them, we would also need a minimum of 2 volunteers from our end to take care of their special needs.

Apart from volunteers, any and all donations for supporting this venture are very welcome. As mentioned before, this is in service for those who are often unable to visit Meherabad due to financial constraints. Also, the costs are borne by The Sai and Meher Centre for Healing and Spiritualism. Should you wish to help / support us financially in this venture; we would truly appreciate it as it would go a long way in helping us to reach out and serve a larger population.

Additionally, we would be very grateful for assistance in the form of introductions. To enhance the mission and goals of The Sai and Meher Centre for Healing and Spiritualism, an introduction to several NGOs and social service organisations will help us get started in contacting them for support and assistance (both directions).

If you wish to volunteer / If you need any further information, please do get in touch with Dr. Gulshan Thukral via sms or whatsapp @ 9890024732 and Email: gulshanthukral@gmail.com
