Sai Baba is the living God and has billions of followers across the globe. He has been cited as the divine healer and the God of the needy, by his ardent devotees. His birth is unknown but he dwells in a million hearts. The Lord attained samadhi on October 15th, 1918. Sai or Sayi is a Persian title given to Sufi saints, meaning 'poor one.' Sai Baba encouraged his devotees to pray, chant God's name, and read Holy Scriptures. He told Muslims to study the Qur'an, and Hindus to study texts such as the Ramayana, Bhagavad Gita, and Yoga Vasistha.      (With Inputs from Internet-AarKay)
