Sathya
Sai Baba was born in Puttaparthi, a small village in South India,
on November 23, 1926. As a child, he demonstrated exemplary qualities
of compassion, generosity, and wisdom, which clearly distinguished
him from the other children of his village.

On
October 29, 1940, at the age of 14, he declared to his family and
to the people of his village that he would henceforth be known as
Sai Baba and that his mission was to bring about the spiritual regeneration
of humanity by demonstrating and teaching the highest principles
of truth, righteous conduct, peace, and divine love.

His
mission was further amplified in a letter he wrote to his brother
in 1947. I have a task, he said, to foster all mankind and ensure
for all of them lives full of bliss. I have a vow: To lead all who
stray away from the straight path again into goodness and save them.
I am attached to a work that I love: To remove the sufferings of
the poor and grant them what they lack.

Sai
Baba's ashram, built by his devotees close to the village where
he was born, was inaugurated on November 23, 1950. It is called
Prasanthi Nilayam (the Abode of Divine Peace). It has been the gathering
place of millions of spiritual pilgrims of various faiths from all
over the world. Every day, Sai Baba graciously walks among them
to guide, comfort, console, and uplift them.

The
small temple dedicated in 1950 has grown into a spiritual oasis
of unprecedented magnitude. The temple and the dharshan area in
front of it, which is completely covered by a beautiful roof, together
encompass an area that is over 10,000 square yards. During the period
14-23 November 1995, the celebrations of the 70th birthday of Sathya
Sai Baba took place in Prasanthi Nilayam. More than one million
people, including the President and Prime Minister of India, assembled
in Prasanthi Nilayam to pay homage to Sathya Sai Baba during the
70th birthday celebrations.
