For the tiny circle of friends at Irani Colony in 1956, it was the desire to serve the community through spiritual activities. This desire made them gather together to conduct a Shree Shani Mahatma Pooja in this colony. The balance amount left after this pooja festival made it possible to form a permanent Pooja Samithi. It was a humble begining.
Since then the grace of the Almighty had enabled us to celebrate Shani Mahatma pooja regularly every year. The generosity and the good-will of the memebers has in a big way helped the Samithi to serve the community.
The phenomenal success of our Annual Pooja Festivals and the enthusiastic response therin have provided an impetus to us and today we are a well knit organisation devoted to socio-spiritual activities.
We look back with pride as how we've grown. In 1959, the Samithi began performing regulary weekly Bhajans in the room of one of our members every Saturday. The activities of the Samithi ever since then have been steadily growing in scope and effectiveness.
In 1965, the Pooja Samithi placed its foot towards self reliance. It secured its own room where the Idol was placed and this opened up a wider scope for free and regular Bhajans Poojas.
As the Samithi grew up in stature, it was possible for us with his grace to install a Silver Idol of Shree Shani Mahatma in 1965 in place of the earlier one made of wood. We added another jewel to our crown when the Shree Shani Mahatma Pooja Samithi got registered as public Charitable Trust under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950.
