94-kg gold throne for
Sai Baba
During one such trip, they had sought Sai Baba's blessings for a big contract which could bring them prosperity. They promised to install a special gold throne for the Sai Baba if they bagged the contract. Apparently, Sai Baba fulfilled their wish and the Reddys called the Sansthan to tell them that they would keep their promise made to the Baba, Sasane told IANS. "Incidentally, one-and-a-half years ago we had announced our plan for a gold throne for Sai Baba. Devotees had been donating for the cause and so far we have collected around Rs. 10 million," Sasane said. Some political parties suggested that the money meant for the throne should be used for victims of natural calamities. "Last September, the Reddys called with their private offer to install the gold throne," he said. It will be installed Sunday (December 23), the day of Dutta Jayanti. The date is significant for millions of Sai Baba devotees around the world as he is considered an incarnation of Dutta Guru. The throne is the second most generous donation that the Sansthan received in 2007. In June, one V.K. Ramani of Chennai donated Rs. 750 million, Sasane said. Ramani, an IT professional, donated it for the construction of the sprawling Dutta Niwas. "It will cost almost Rs 10 billion. The money donated by Ramani will be used and the Sansthan will spend the rest," Sasane added. When completed, the Dutta
Niwas will accommodate 15,000 devotees at a time, making it one of the
largest congregation halls in the country.
