Puttaparthi Sai Baba
Sathya Sai Baba born as Sathyanarayana Raju was an Indian guru, spiritual figure and educator.He was described by his devotees as an avatar, godman spiritual teacher and miracle worker.The apparent materialising of vibhuti and other small objects such as rings, necklaces and watches by Baba has been a source of both fame and controversy skeptics consider these simple conjuring tricks while devotees consider them evidence of divinity.Sathya Sai Baba claimed to be the reincarnation of the spiritual guru Sai Baba of Shirdi whose teachings were an eclectic blend of Hindu and Muslim beliefs.
Sathya Sai Baba and his organisations support a variety of free educational institutions, hospitals, and other charitable works in India and abroad.The number of active Sathya Sai Baba adherents was estimated in 1999 to be around 6 million, although followers estimations are far higher.Since there are no formal ties of membership the actual figure may never be known.
