Shirdi Sai Baba
The name Sai Baba itself proclaims one being a saint and father, in other words a religious guru. Shirdi Sai Baba was a saint to the Muslim and Hindu community teaching and preaching to both with equality in each. He preached that everyone is a servant of god, including himself, and that it is vitally important to have faith in the lord and to always chant his names (japa).
The name Sai Baba was given to him and not once did he ever mention or proclaim to be god or an incarnation or avatar of any kind, but always proclaimed on several occasions to close followers and the public that he is gods servant and messenger, and to have faith in him and he shall take them to god, if one reads their own scripture (Bhagavad-Gita, Quran) and follows it with ones life.
Shirdi Sai Baba is a great Saint and highly revered by many and he should be and is respected by many for his purity and contribution to humanity.
Sathya Narayana Raju (Sathya Sai)
Sathya in his youth was a troublesome adolescent and a high school drop out. He made many controversial, contradictory and false claims. A few of these claims are that he is the reincarnation of lord siva, then he said he is the reincarnation of Shirdi baba, and on another occasion he proclaimed to be an avatar of God.
His philosophy unlike Shirdis was that we are all God and that he has a special claim to the title of god because he has awoken from its dormancy, a claim which is refuted by all authentic scriptures and learned souls easily.
There have been many conspiracies and allegations against Sathya which have never come to book due to high political influence of him having them as followers.
However this is the final article in the line of bogi yogi series on Sai, and as stated at the beginning this is not here to blaspheme SathyaNarayan Raju just to get rid of the highly prevalent misconception of him being God. However through my research and findings I have gained a high regard of respect for Shirdi Sai baba, and from their contrasting teachings and proclamations I have come to the authorized conclusion that Sathya Narayan Raju (Sathya Sai) is neither an incarnation of Shiva, nor reincarnation of Shirdi Baba or further still from God.
My conclusion is the same as the conclusion of all sastra and scriptures, that we are all eternally the constitutional servants of god, and that the lord of our hearts the original supreme personality of godhead is none other than lord Krishna our sweet lord.
Hare Krishna
