He claimed to be the reincarnation of Sai Baba of
Shirdi, who was considered a spiritual saint and a miracle
worker, whose teachings were a welcome blend of Hindu and
Muslim beliefs, who died in 1918.
The materializations of vibhuti (holy ash) and other
small objects such as rings, necklaces and watches by Sathya
Sai Baba were a source of both fame and controversy.
His devotees considered these materializations signs of
divinity, while skeptics viewed them as simple conjuring
tricks.
Photos of Sathya Sai Baba are displayed in millions of
homes and on car dashboards.
Sai Baba had ashrams in 126 countries and also ran a
network of hospitals, clinics and schools that were often
free.
