Nobody knows for certain when saibaba was born or who his parents were, or what his real name was. He arrived one day at shirdi in Maharastra He was dressed like a fakir(Muslim ascetic) and lived in a dilapidated mosque----but spoke of a Hindi guru, whom he called venkusa. He seemed to be well acquainted with the Hindu scriptures, but at the same time was heard to quote from the quran.
The word “sai” is a Persian word meaning saint, and baba is a Hindi word meaning father. As his name would indicate, Saibaba has both Hindu and Muslim disciples. He did not approve of conversations and believed that everyone had a right to follow his own path of god.Everything that is known about his beliefs,however is deduced from his actions.He was giving for theorizing.....
His leelas are commendable and not countable till date....but this story reveals that saibaba could light the lamp with water is a remarkable one that was always recollected by his bhaktas.....
Aum Sairam
