The Sri Sathya Sai Baba Center of Manhattan (also referred to as the Manhattan Sai Center or Manhattan Sai Baba Center) is a Sai Center within the USA Sathya Sai Organization running out of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Under the direction of Sathya Sai Baba, it was established in 1976 as a service organization to run devotional programs and service projects. Their projects have been covered by several New York news outlets.[1]
