He did not discriminate based on religion and respected all forms of worship to God. It is known that he spent considerable periods with fakirs, and his attire resembled that of a Muslim fakir. Various communities have claimed that he belongs to them, but nothing has been substantiated. Historians and devotees agree that there is no reliable evidence for a particular birthplace or date of birth. Sai Baba referred to several saints as 'my brothers', especially the disciples of Swami Samartha of Akkalkot. He was revered by other saints, such as Saint Bidkar Maharaj, Saint Gangagir, Saint Janakidas Maharaj, and Sati Godavari Mataji. Some of Sai Baba's disciples became famous as spiritual figures and saints, such as Mahalsapati, a priest of the Khandoba temple in Shirdi, and Upasni Maharaj. He always uttered "Allah Malik"("God is King"). One of his well known epigrams, "Sabka Malik Ek " ("One God governs all"), is associated with Islam and Sufism. Sai Baba's teaching combined elements of Hinduism and Islam: he gave the Hindu name Dwarakamayi to the mosque he lived in, practiced Hindu and Muslim rituals, taught using words and figures that drew from both traditions, and was buried in Shirdi.
STORY OF SAI BABA SHIRDI IN ENGLISH CODE
He taught a moral code of love, forgiveness, helping others, charity, contentment, inner peace, and devotion to God and guru. He had no love for perishable things and his sole concern was self-realization.
Sai Baba remains a very popular saint, especially in India, and is worshipped by people around the world. Also, as SA means Devi and Aayee (I of SAI) means Maa & Baba means Father it also means Heavenly Parent. Thus Sai Baba denotes "holy father", "saintly father" or "poor old man". The honorific "Baba" means "father grandfather old man sir" in Indo-Aryan languages. However Sāī may also refer to the Sanskrit term "Sakshat Eshwar" or the divine. Sai or Sayi is a Persian title given to Sufi saints, meaning 'poor one'. Mahalsapati, a local temple priest, recognized him as a Muslim saint and greeted him with the words 'Ya Sai!', meaning 'Welcome Sai!'. The name "Sai" was given to him upon his arrival at Shirdi, a town in the west-Indian state of Maharashtra. No verifiable information is available regarding Sai Baba's birth and place of birth. Many devotees believe that he was a Satguru, an enlightened Sufi Pir, or a Qutub.
Many Hindu devotees – including Hemadpant, who wrote the famous Shri Sai Satcharitra – consider him an incarnation of Lord Krishna while other devotees consider him as an incarnation of Lord Dattatreya. Sai Baba of Shirdi (Unknown – October 15, 1918), also known as Sai Baba (Marathi: शिर्डीचे श्री साईबाबा, Urdu: شردی سائیں بابا), was an Indian guru, yogi, and fakir who is regarded by his Hindu and Muslim devotees as a saint.
