About Sathya Sai Baba
Sri Sathya Sai Baba was born on 23rd November, 1926 at Puttaparthi village in Andhra Pradesh. Initially known as Sathyanarayana Raju he took on the name Sathya Sai Baba later. The meaning of ‘Sathya’, 'Sai' and 'Baba' is Truth, Mother and Father respectively. He exhibited differences from his companions at an early age and frequently led his school friends in worship and chanting spiritual songs as their 'Guru'.
In 1940, at the age of fourteen, a change occurred to the young boy and he left school and acquired a deep Samadhi state. He announced himself to be the reincarnation of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba and left his family home choosing instead to be with his growing number of devotees.
As the number of his devotees multiplied, he built his ashram Prashanti Nilayam on the outskirts of the Puttaparthi village in which he was born. During his life Sathya Sai Baba spent most of his time at his primary ashram at Puttaparthi, and sometimes took residence in some of his other spiritual Centres, throughout India and some 127 countries world wide. He only left India once, and that was on a visit to Kenya and Uganda in 1968.
Sri Sathya’s message was intrinsically linked to the concept of service. And his work led to the establishment of many colleges, hospitals, clinics and service centres.
He passed away aged 84 on April 24th, 2011 at the Super Speciality Hospital located at his primary abode: Prashanti Nilayam in Puttaparthi (Andhra Pradesh).
