Sathya Sai Baba

[Snow Fairy]

From Wiki:

Sathya Sai Baba (born Sathya Narayana Raju on November 23, 1926 or later than 1927 — with the family name of "Ratnakaram") is a South Indian guru, religious leader, orator and philosopher often described as a Godman and a miracle worker. According to the Sathya Sai Organization, there are an estimated 1,200 Sathya Sai Baba Centers in 130 countries world-wide. The number of Sathya Sai Baba adherents is estimated sometimes as around 6 million, and followers cite "50 to 100 million".

I don't know much at all about this man or his teachings, but kept running across mentions of him while I was reading a book on mysticism.


I liked some of his quotes:

People say "I want peace." If you remove I (ego), and your
want (desire), you are left with peace.

“Before you speak, think -Is it necessary? Is it true? Is it kind? Will it hurt anyone? Will it improve on the silence?”


“Life is a bridge over the sea of changes. Do not build a house on it.”

- Satya Sai Baba
