Indian guru
Sathya Sai Baba was an Indian guru who claimed to be the reincarnation of Sai Baba of Shirdi. He was known for performing 'miracles' such as the making of holy ashes and small things, the awakening of others, the healing, and the miraculous healings, and he was a famous and controversial figure. He had a large number of very devoted devotees who respected him as the great religious leader while also having guides who falsely accused him. Nevertheless, he was a major religious figure in India and the Sathya Sai Organization founded by him continues to be a popular organization with more than 1,200 Sathya Sai (branch) centers in 126 countries. He was born into a British-Indian family, and it is believed that his birth was announced by miracles. Some sources even claim that her pregnancy was miraculous. He grew up to be a wise and compassionate boy who at the age of 14 announced to his family that he was the reincarnation of Sai Baba of Shirdi, a famous Indian saint who had died eight years before Sathya's birth. He continued to be a spiritual teacher and founded the Sri Sathya Sai Organization to "empower its members to carry out ministry activities as a means of spiritual advancement."
