Sai Baba was first seen sitting under a Neem tree and the place was called Gurusthan. Later a temple was built at this spot which was renovated in 1941. This neem tree is where many devotees have been cured of their ailments.
Gurusthan is a place where Sai Baba was visible to the world for the first time. He was 16 years old then. There is a Neem tree which is quiet famous. It is the Margosa which is referred to in ‘Sai Sat-Charitra’. The devotees believe that if they burn incense sticks at Gurusthan they will be cured of their ailments.
There is a little enshrine in Gurusthan. On a lifted platform of this enshrine a big portraiture of Baba is laid. On the side Baba’s marble statue is placed. The Gurusthan temple no longer exists. It has been removed to give way for the Margosa to grow.
Its open 5 am to 10 pm.
