This is a really great and miraculous pooja you can exepect results very quickly, but make sure you do this sacred pooja with great devotion on baba. Before starting the divya pooja take a small white piece of cloth which has the size of your palm. Put it in turmeric water and make it to dry the previous day.
On the Thursday that you begin the pooja. Put babas idol or photo on a new piece of cloth in your shrine or pooja room. Put some chandanam and tilakam for baba. According to your shradha and financial capacity make a mala of sweet scented flowers (Baba likes rose flowers) and put it for baba. Offer lamps with ghee. Offer Agarbathi and dhoop. Keep Lord Ganesha idol or photo or any other gods photos along with Baba while doing this puja.
After having kept everything ready for the divya pooja in front of baba put a 1 or 2 rupee or dollar coin or any other currency coins in the turmeric piece of cloth and tie it. Tell and pray baba your wish and do sankalpa to do the pooja for 5 or 7 or 11 or 21 weeks. Keep this next to baba. You need to tie the rupee or any other coin in the cloth only on the first Thursday you begin the pooja.
Keep some mix of flowers for the pooja. Do a Namaskar to Sai and say the ashtotram while putting flowers or flower petals on sai baba. Then read the sai sachirtira book try finish by last Thursday of pooja.
Then sing babas songs or meditate on baba, give arathi and make Kichidi for prasadam and offer it to baba. After finishing the number of weeks you have vowed to do. You need to do udyapana, Invite, ladies, men or kids or any orphans or poor to your house as many as you can, give them Kichidi as Prasad and then this book.
According to your wish you can distribute 5 or 11 or 21 or 51 or 101 books. Sai satchiritra (Baba Life story) book which propagates Sais miracles and fame. Anybody can distribute these books in any number, The more books you can distribute, the more better blessings you get.
You should not do this pooja without eating anything. Baba does not like fasting. You must eat when doing this pooja. Baba said “ If any one meditates on me with an empty stomach, he can’t see the god with empty stomach”
After you have taken a vow and finished the divya pooja (5 or 7 or 11 or 21 weeks) you can take a vow and do it again for 5, 11 or 21 weeks. If you cannot do the pooja on a particular Thursday due to some circumstances do it the next Thursday. Make sure you finish the number of Thursdays you took the vow for. Do the pooja only in your house.
Start Sai Divya Pooja with the Sai ashtortram.
What to do with the coin after Pooja ?
What if we are not able to invite people ? Can we distribute prasad in temple ?
Sure, you can collect those coins, you can deposit in Shirdi Hundi. If you are unable to invite people , you can distribute at temple or any other place where people are starving for food. we do the same.
Including Vow(5.7.11.21 weeks) will be counting or excluding Vow ?
Hi I just want to know that wether this Divya Puja can be performed in evening time on Thursday ? As I am working so it gets little difficult to prepare the Khichadi prashadam etc in the morning time. Please guide me Jai Sai Ram
u can do it in the evening as well.
A query: Should we leave the puja setup and the cloth with the coin undisturbed for the entire number of weeks we vow to do the puja? or Can we tidy up the shrine and setup for the puja afresh every Thursday as per our vow?
query: Should we leave the puja setup and the cloth with the coin undisturbed for the entire number of weeks we vow to do the puja? or Can we tidy up the shrine and setup for the puja afresh every Thursday as per our vow
Yes, you can tidy up the setup for the puja. But donot open the cloth with coin. After cleaning the pooja room place the cloth with coin near baba like previous only.
What does udyapana means?
It means after your number of thursdays u vowed for is complete ,on last thursday you have to break the vrat by doing udjapana. which means ul distrubte khichdi to poor,distribute books,etc
I am in a sharing accommodation presently and not in my home country India. Can I still do the pooja?
Yes, why not? devotion is important not the location and environment.

I live in USA. I vowed to do 5 days puja. On the fifth week I could not do the udyapan due to some reason. However, i had already invited my friends earlier. So i offered Kichdi to Baba but could not do the udyapan. I am now not sure if my friends will show up again for the udyapan. Can I do udyapan and send the copies of the puja online to my friends. Please let me know. I am too much in confusion.
hi admin ,
i have one query is it compulsory we need to offer kichdi as prasad first week i offered rawa kesahari is it wrong.
please help me with this query
Baba accepts whatever is offered with love and faith.
Hi ,
Can I know puja can be done in the evening time or not and at what time we can do if it is possible.
Well, we do mostly in the evening, if you observe the aarthi in Shirdi a 4.30 am: Kakad aarti starts and Shej aarti will start at 10.30 pm, so you can do pooja even in the evening. Devotion is important, don’t look at timing.
I vowed taking 9days vrutham and today is th final day..I couldn’t get vrutham book to distribute..’m worried help me to complete vrutham.
Can I use the same cloth with the coin for the next Saidivya Puja I do or do I need a new cloth with a coin every time I start another cycle of Divya Puja
can we finish Saibaba pooja within 9 days
Yes
Am completing my 11 weeks by this Thursday. Am not in India and am not able to invite people to home. Shall I do pooja and ask my parents to distribute prasadam and book in India in temple
Sure Why not? Baba needs devotion.
if I take a 5 day vow , can I complete the 5th day pooja in a different place? or should all the 5 days be done in the same place?

Om Sai Ram,
Can this pooja be done with any flowers and offer prtal of any flowers while reading ashtotarsatnam? is rose a complusory flower?
Please let me know.
Sai Ram
Hello Utkalika,
its not compulsory that you should offer roses but its good if you can offer them as roses are favourite for Sri Shiridi Sai baba. Otherwise, you can offer any flowers or flower petals. Anything is fine.
I did 5 week divya Pooja but when I’m doing what I asked baba to clear my problem he did only half of the promblem I can’t say what I asked but the time over he cleared only half I don’t know what I should do did I start again and what I should do with that old coin mudupu where I should keep or I’m not understanding anything at first I thought that we should do its k baba did atleast Half but now my heart is so sad I’m unable to do like that with sadness can you give me some suggestion
Hey Lella, just believe in Sai baba and everything will be alright. You can keep the mudupu in the your pooja place and submit it in the Hundi of sai baba temple shiridi when you visit. If you are sad and waiting for an answer from baba, just start the sai divya pooja again and even though you are sad in the beginning, eventually you will feel better. Just do the pooja with full trust. Everything will be alright. Om sai ram 🙂
Hi Admin, Sai Ram

Thank you
Pls send that book in English version if u have then I will take print out sir
Hi all , if it’s not possible to call people to home on the last Thursday and offer khichdi, can I go any orphanage and offer food?
Hi Varsha, yes you can do it. We should offer food to the needy, Doesn’t matter if you call people or offer food at temple or to the needy people. Om sai ram 🙂

Hi Aarthi, anyone can do this pooja. Any gender, any age group, devotion is important. Om sai ram 🙂

I am doing a Divya Pooja and one Thursday after completion of the Pooja I had my periods and my sister cleaned the Pooja room and unknowingly she put the mudupu in the dustbin. Will there be any issue or should I start the Pooja from beginning again
Hi Sushmita, you can pray to baba and tie another mudupu and continue your pooja. Please don’t worry. Om sai ram 🙂
Today only I have started my divya poojai.. afternoon I have drink some juices and night only I have taken the food .. because I have prayed to saibaba that during sai divya poojai I will eat only one time at that day and I will take fruits and juices on that day..is it ok
Hi Rohini, it’s specially mentioned in the Sai Divya Pooja book that we shouldn’t do this pooja with empty stomach or without meals as baba do not like fasting and he will not accept prayers with fasting. So, please have meals and enjoy the process of doing the pooja. Om sai ram 🙂
Hi, om Sai ram, please tell me if I don’t have ashtoram book,is it OK or it is compulsory to read it during pooja . One more question is if we donate any other Sai baba book in Islamabad rather than Sai Charitra ,,is it OK according to my financial capacity
Hi Vidya, we need to read the sai baba Ashtothrasatanamavali. It is compulsory to read it while doing the pooja. Also, we need to distribute the sai divya pooja books to people after we finish our last thursday pooja. Om sai ram 🙂
In Sai baba parayanam after completion in udyapana can we donate any Sai baba book according to our capacity or it is compulsory to donate Sai Charitra only please answer me
Hi Vidya, normally we distribute either sai baba satcharitra book or Sai Divya pooja book. I personally feel it’s better to distribute sai divya pooja book as we are doing this pooja and distributing book is a part of this pooja. However, distributing satcharitra is also an auspicious thing to do. So, you can decide. May all your wishes come true. Om sai ram 🙂
Hi im Neelima
Actually im staying in foreign country,here no temples and no indian people so,
After completing Divya Puja ,shall i distribute books whenever im go to india.

Hi Neelima, you can do that or else you can also distribute the books online to sai devotees. Om sai ram 🙂
I have started puja nad aftrr completion puja my uncle expired will that week counted or I should start from next week again
If he is your blood relation, you stop and continue later
I have two questions
1. Can one do the pooja while one is having periods?
2. Can one do the pooja at one’s parents’ home if traveling to another city in one of the weeks?
Hi Neha, normally we don’t do any kind of pooja while we are on periods. So, it’s better if you skip this pooja if you are on periods. It is recommended to do this pooja at your place rather than anyone else’s place, as given in the Sai Divya Pooja book. May all your wishes come true. Om sai ram 🙂
Please tell what is the Astothram mantra to be recited
Hi Pratima, its sai baba ashtothara sathanamavali which is included in the sai divya pooja book. May all your wishes come true. Om sai ram. 🙂

Hi,
Me and my friend tried this Pooja for marriage but it doesn’t work for both of us.
I did Divya Pooja for job and it worked but whenever I did it for marriage it is not working. Not only for me but also my friend tried.
I did this Pooja 3 times, first I did it for 11 Thursdays then tried 5 and this time I tried 7 but no success. Same thing happened with my friend too. For job it’s working but for marriage it’s not.
Looking for help and reason, why this is happening with me ♀️.
Can I use orange cloth instead of yellow ?
Hi Admin,
I made a wish and promised to do the Saibaba divya pooja for 11 weeks but to certain I stopped in the midway, I didn’t do for like a month. I want to continue the pooja to fulfill the wish. Do i need to continue my old promised 11 weeks or do i need to start new.
Please advice, it will be really appreciated.

Can we continue the pooja or do we have to start over
