Sathya Sai Baba is a highly revered spiritual leader and world
teacher, whose life and message are inspiring millions of people throughout
the world to turn God-ward and to lead more purposeful and moral lives.
His timeless and universal teachings, along with the manner in which he
leads his own life, are attracting seekers of Truth from all the religions
of the world. Yet, he is not seeking to start a new religion. Nor does he
wish to direct followers to any particular religion. Rather, he urges us
to continue to follow the religion of our choice and/or upbringing.
Sathya Sai Baba publicly declared his mission in 1940, at the age of 14. Since then, he has daily exhibited in practical and concrete terms the highest ideals of truth, right conduct, peace, love, and nonviolence. He has often stated, "My life is my message." Each day, hundreds of pilgrims make their way to the tiny hamlet in southern India where Sathya Sai Baba's ashram (spiritual headquarters) is located. They come not only from India but from virtually every country of the world. Over the years, followers have organized to foster the construction of a variety of buildings and facilities to house and otherwise accommodate the ever-increasing number of visitors. The name of Sathya Sai Baba's ashram is Prasanthi Nilayam, which means "abode of the highest peace".
