Sai baba Mission
 
"Why fear I am there"
Forsaking the worldly pleasure in his tender years Sai Baba came to Shirdi with a mission that sprang from the source of His free and redeemed spirit. His mission was self-allotted and that was to awaken the mankind to his true self and divine nature. He wanted to lead them to salvation by saving them from delusion and ignorance. Such is His benevolence that Sai Baba stands there eternally extending His helping hand to give solace to His children who are suffering and leading a wretched life devoid of any hope.

Life of Sai Baba:-
Shri Sai baba of Shirdi lived between 1838 and 1918, whose real name, birthplace and date of birth are not known. Sai baba of Shirdi was followed by both Hindus as well as Muslims. He lived in a mosque and after death his body was cremated in a temple. It is believed that at a tender age of 16 yrs Shri Sai baba arrived at the village of Shirdi in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra and remained their till his death. Sai Baba sheltered in Khandoba temple, where a villager Mahalsapathi in the temple addressed him as Sai or Sai Baba. His philosophy ingrained 'Shraddha' and 'Saburi'.
