Not much is known about the early years of the austere man who suddenly appeared one day in 1856 at Shirdi in Nasik. No one knew his birth, parentage, religion or antecedents. However, for those millions of devotees who came to know him closely through the years that followed, through his teachings, prayers and miracles, these things did not matter. What mattered was that anyone who prayed to God in His name was blessed.
Sri Sai Baba’s devotees have been receiving powerful blessings through complete surrender to his spirit, to lead them to their destined path. They are blessed with freedom from mental, spiritual, physical and material worries. No wonder then that millions come from all over the world to offer their devotion to him – through prayer and through charitable deeds that he is so famous for.
In Shirdi, Sri Sai Baba lived the life of an ascetic. He owned no worldly possessions. Of his most notable qualities, the abundance of Love was his most intense quality. He embodied it and showered his love on all. Baba was above all, humble and ever willing to help anyone in need. If he heard of any suffering in Shirdi, he would present himself there to relieve the person of pain.
News of Baba’s miracles spread far and wide. He always had a fire (dhuni) burning by his side. The ashes of that fire were given as vibuthi to his devotees and followers. The vibuthi had miraculous powers of healing and ushering the well-being of the people who smeared it. When Baba predicted that there would be water inside a rock, water was found there! He revived sick people. Sri Sai Baba also left his own body for three days in a state of death and re-entered his body on the fourth day. After this he lived on for thirty two years and finally left his earthly body on October 15th, 1918.
Established in 1954 by Sri Radhakrishna Swamiji, the Sri Sai Spiritual Centre (SSSC) in Bengaluru has been a renowned institution of spirituality and selfless service for over 70 years.
