Śri Sathya Sai Baba (born as Sathyanarayana Raju; 23 November 1926 – 24 April 2011[4]) was an Indian guru, spiritual figure, musician, mystic, composer, choreographer, poet, author, orator, reputed miracle worker, philanthropist and educator.[5] He claimed to be the reincarnation of Sai Baba of Shirdi who was considered by his followers to be an avatar, spiritual saint and miracle worker, who died in 1918.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
The reputed materializations of vibhuti (holy ash) and other small objects such as rings, necklaces, and watches by Sathya Sai Baba along with reports of miraculous healings, resurrections, clairvoyance, bilocation, and alleged omnipotence and omniscience
were a source of both fame and controversy; devotees considered them
signs of divinity, while sceptics viewed them as simple conjuring
tricks.
Photos of Sathya Sai Baba are displayed in millions of homes and on
car dashboards. Lockets bearing his photo are worn by many as a symbol
of good fortune and are often kept in wallets for spiritual protection.[12] Sai Baba had ashrams in 126 countries and also ran a network of hospitals, clinics and schools that were often free.
