Baba had proclaimed long back that he is the incarnation of Shirdi Sai Baba, and shall again take birth sometime in 2030 as ‘Prem Sai’. May be we need to wait till that time to see if Sri Satya Sai baba was correct, though his proclamation that he shall live and serve mankind till 2022 has not met the ground. He left millions of his devotees alone and soulless, by taking his last breath on the early morning of April 24, 2011. At 7:40 AM IST, his soul left his worldly body and left this earth to meet and integrate into ‘super soul’. Surprisingly April 24, happens to be a legend’s birthday. Satya Sai has a huge base of some of high profile legends, and Sachin Tendulkar is one among them. To add value to spice, Dr. A P J Abul Kalam, whom whole nation praises and have high regards, is another high profile devotee of Sri Satya Sai. It would be a point of interest now to see if Sachin celebrates his birthday or mourn for demise of his spiritual guru, in the years to come. Having said this, an empire and legacy worth 1000 billion dollars will be available to Google when one Google Satya Sai. In the tenure of 85, starting from Zero money in his account to spend, to managing an empire that is a dream for many.
Satya Sai Baba announced himself an incarnation in early 80’s, and chose the path of Peace, Spiritualism, Love and non-violence. Puttaparthy, a small village in Andhra Pradesh is now world famous with followers coming in from everywhere to take his blessings. He realized that a common man needs proper care and concern. So with the donation money he got from his followers, he started building schools, various engineering, medical and other colleges, hospitals and other infrastructure developments that are needed and desired for common people. Satya Sai Hospital’s are free to poor people. From simple consultancy to highly complicated operations, all are done for free. Water Sanitation, providing clean drinking water to all nearby villages etc. are among some of the selfless welfare services he did with the donation money. Clearly Satya Sai was running a parallel government, since he realized that Political parties and governments are not effective enough to do such things.
I truly wish this Miracle Baba would live little longer. He was a true motivator for many. He was a successful social entrepreneur whose ambition was to serve mankind. But, I am surprised on his death. A holy Godlike person gets admitted in Hospital, survives on Ventilator for almost a month and dies with multiple organs failure. I read somewhere that earlier Godman like Shirdi Sai Baba, Swami Ramkrishna Param Hansa, Shankaracharya, Swami Vivekanand, Devraha baba etc. who were true incarnations of God, actually took Nirwana. With their Yog and Pranayam power, they left their worldly body without any pain. And before attaining Nirwana, they told their desires and intensions on attaining the same, in advance to their disciples. Then why Satya Sai did not follow the same suit. Was he a normal human being? Did we actually make him God, by blindly following his magic’s?
There are many more high profile mircale baba’s like Sri Sri Ravishankar, Baba Ramdev, ISKON, Sant Nirankari, Asharamji Bapu, Asho Rajneesh, Kripalu ji, Sudhanshu ji- etc., who are known for different kind of magic, but they are yet to disclose their actual property and do such a humanitarian work. I am sure all baba’s are equally rich and run their uncrowned empire. Some spiritual houses run like big business houses. They recruit (Devotees) best of brains (eminent engineers, doctors, MBA’s, CA’s etc.) for they key positions. A common man as devotee remains a devotee only. He/she is there to keep giving donations and take Baba’s blessings (make baba happy). Baba Ramdev at least initiated Yog and Patanjali Vidyapeeth in renovating Ayurveda and curing many incurable diseases. I wonder what these proclaimed saints do with such huge money! A saint is supposed to live an ascetic life with an ambition to serve mankind.
Anyways, we had Shirdi as one Holy place. Now Puttaparthi is next. Hoping that 'Prem Sai' will also come in 2030, we shall have third pilgrimage on Sai in North Karnataka!. India is truly the land of Miracle Baba's.
