Who is Sri Sathya Sai Baba?
To a spiritual aspirant, He is the Divine Master par excellence; to a rationalist, He is the greatest humanitarian on earth; to thousands of modern youth, He is the leader with a dynamic vision and a colossus of inspiration; to a devotee, He is simply divinity in human form. And to all who have had the opportunity to behold Him, He is Pure Love Walking on Two Feet.
Ask Bhagawan Baba, “Are you God?” And He says, “Yes, I am God and so are you. The only difference between you and me is that while I am aware of this fact, you are not.”
“Love is in everything, Love is for everyone
and Love is everything.”
My life is my message
His Mission
On 25th May 1947, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, in a detailed letter to his brother Seshama Raju, outlined his mission and purpose of his advent. A relevant extract reads as follows (freely translated from the original Telugu):
- I have one task: To foster all mankind and ensure for all of them lives filled with bliss.
- I have one vow: To lead all who stray from the straight path back to goodness and save them.
- I am committed to the work I love: To remove the sufferings of the poor and grant them what they lack.
- I have reason to be confident, because I rescue all who adore and revere me.
- I will not abandon my mission, nor my determination.
- I know I will carry it out.
