    Shirdi Sai Baba

    The saint of Shirdi

    Sai Baba lived in the village of Shirdi in Maharashtra, India, until 1918. He belonged to no single faith and turned no one away. Hindus and Muslims, rich and poor, all came to him, and he shared what he had with all of them.

    His teaching was simple: Shraddha (faith) and Saburi (patience). He used to say “सबका मालिक एक”, which means one God governs all.

    “If you look to me, I look to you.”
