By India Today Web Desk: "Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very essence of life contained in them." He was admired and respected by both the Hindus and Muslims. However, it could never be figured out whether he was a Hindu or a Muslim. He always gave elusive answers whenever he was questioned about his past. There was not even a need though because that, perhaps, is the true sign of the one to be followed. Sai Baba- the one who was revered by all. Sai Baba died on October 15, 1918 and on his 97th death anniversary today, listed are some facts from his life: 1. Sai Baba was not his real name. In fact, he never revealed his name to anyone. When asked about his past, he often gave vague responses. 2. The name 'Sai' was given to him upon his arrival at Shirdi, Maharashtra. It is believed that Mahalsapati, a priest, recognised him as a Muslim saint and greeted him with the words 'Ya Sai!' which means 'Welcome Sai'. Sai is a Persian title given to Sufi saints, meaning 'poor one'. 3. Sai Baba's biographer, Narasimha Swamiji, claimed that Sai Baba was born as the child of Brahmin parents on the fact that Sai Baba once revealed to him that his parents were Brahmins of Patri in the Nizam's State. 4. Sai Baba also revealed that as a child he lived in a Mosque with his parents. Later, his parents handed him over to the care of a beggar who brought him up. 5.

“What is new in the world? Nothing. What is old in the world? Nothing. Everything has always been and will always be.”– Shirdi Sai Baba Sai Baba of Shirdi, also known as Shirdi Sai Baba, was an Indian spiritual master who was regarded by his devotees as a saint, fakir, and satguru, according to their individual proclivities and beliefs. He was revered by both his Hindu and Muslim devotees, and it was uncertain if he was a Hindu or a Muslim. This, however, was of no consequence to Sai Baba. He stressed the importance of surrender to the true Satguru or Murshid, who, having trod the path to divine consciousness, will lead the disciple through the jungle of spiritual training. Sai Baba is worshipped by people around the world. He had no love for perishable things and his sole concern was realization of the self. He taught a moral code of love, forgiveness, helping others, charity, contentment, inner peace, and devotion to God and guru. He gave no distinction based on religion or caste. Sai Baba’s teaching combined elements of Hinduism and Islam; he gave the Hindu name Dwarakamayi to the mosque in which he lived, practiced Muslim rituals, taught using words and figures that drew from both traditions, and was buried in Shirdi. One of his well known epigrams, “Sabka Malik Ek” (“One God governs all”), is associated with Hinduism, Islam and Sufism. He also said, “Trust in me and your prayer shall be answered.” He always uttered “Allah Malik” (“God is King”). If you are wealthy, be...

Dhirendra Shastri of Bageshwar Dham has once again started a controversy regarding the religion of Sai Baba, in which Sai Baba was called Chand Miyan. In a TV show, when he was asked why he had called Sai Baba Chand Miyan, Dhirendra Shastri said – We were not there at that time, if we were there, we would have been able to see whether Sai Baba used to wear a cap or garland! Would you have been able to tell whether Sai Baba was a Hindu or a Muslim? What we heard, what the court said, a journalist had said so. The question is why questions are raised about Sai Baba’s religion again and again. Shankaracharya Swaroopanand Saraswati has also raised questions on Sai Baba’s religion. Opponents of Sai Baba often call him Chand Miya. According to the opponents, Sai Baba was a Muslim and Hindus should not believe in him. Let us try to understand from where this story originated and why he is sometimes called a Muslim and what is his connection with the name of Chand Miyan. Question on the size of the tomb About eight years ago Shankaracharya Swaroopanand Saraswati raised questions on Sai Baba’s religion and said that he was a Muslim. His argument was that the tomb of Sai Baba built in Shirdi proves that he was a Muslim. Because, the samadhi given in Hindus is of round shape, whereas in Muslims, the tomb is of long shape. He had said that where Sai’s tomb has been built, an idol has also been installed there. Due to being a graveyard, neither a true Hindu goes there nor a Muslim goes...

The extracts in this anthology are taken from Shri Sat Charitra. They comprise part of Chapters in which the author, Shri Govind Raghunath Dabolkar alias Hemadpant refers to Saibaba his devotees and vision. Shri Sai Baba Shri Sai Baba is revered as one of the greatest saints ever seen in India, endowed with unprecedented powers, and is worshipped as a God incarnate. (SAI meaning Sakshaat Ishwar) - GOD THE ABSOLUTE This mysterious Fakir first made his appearance in Shirdi as a youth and remained there throughout his long life. HE transformed the lives of those who met him and continuously is doing so even after his Samadhi in 1918 for those whose hearts are touched by his love and who pray and call him at any emergency in life for his blessings. Baba stated that his mission is to “Give Blessings” without discrimination to all, and he proves it in myriad ways by healing the sick, saving lives, protecting the vulnerable, averting accidents, granting offspring, facilitating financial gain, bringing people into harmony within themselves and with each other and, above all, in effecting the spiritual evolution and transformation of those who came to him as the last resort. Baba is, as one of his contemporary devotees put it, “The embodiment of the Supreme Spirit lighting the sadhaka's (seekers') path by His every word and action”. To his devotees, Baba is nothing less than a GOD. This has been a matter of experience and not imaginary. “I look at all with an equal eye” An outstand...

WHO WAS SHIRDI SAI BABA ? Sai Baba of Shirdi (Unknown – October 15, 1918), was an Indian Guru, Yogi and Fakir who is regarded by his Hindu and Muslim followers as a Saint. The name “Sai Baba” is a combination of Persian and Indian origin, S?? (Sa’ih) is the Persian term for “Holy One” or “Saint”, usually attributed to Islamic ascetics, whereas B?b? is a word meaning “Father” used in Indian languages. The appellative thus refers to Sai Baba as being a “Holy Father” or “Saintly Father”. It is said that who-so-ever comes for Baba’s Darshan at Shirdi never goes back empty handed because Baba comes to the rescue of each and every devotee in some or the other form. But, do you know that Sai Baba was not originally from Shirdi !!! And Baba himself never disclosed to anyone about his past, where he was born nor where he grew up. Therefore, his real name, time/place of birth, his religion/caste, his parentage etc are still unknown, and whatever details known about his life before the age of 16, are Obscure, leading to speculations & theories attempting to explain Sai Baba’s origins but till date nothing has been substantiated. – EARLY YEARS – Although Sai Baba’s origins are unknown, some indications exist that suggest that he was born not far from Shirdi. Baba was notorious for giving vague, misleading and contradictory replies to questions concerning his parentage and origins, brusquely stating the information was unimportant. He had once reportedly stated to Mhalsapati, that he h...
