    Sai Baba of ShirdiUntil 1918, Shirdi was a sleepy little village, tucked away in the interiors of Maharashtra. In that year, an old sage died leaving behind grieving villagers. Even today, the last few surviving elders of the village vividly recall the miraculous wonders of the sage. This revered sage was their mentor and prophet. His name was Sai Baba of Shirdi.

    Sai Baba's fame has spread far and wide. His devotees are scattered all over the world. They regularly visit Shirdi to pay their homage to this great Saint of Shirdi. Sai Baba's shrine has been incorporated as one of the holy places in the world's map of pilgrimage. Sai Baba preached no particular religion. In fact, he believed in and respected all religions. Sai Baba had just 11 teachings to give his followers viz:
