LIFE OF SAI BABA 1838 - It is an assumed date as Baba never talked about his birth,parentage and his origin place,whenever its been asked either he diverted the subject or used to get very angree.Whatever is been told about his life before 1853 is an assumption. 1853 - First time he was seen at Shirdi,when he used to sit below Neem tree and was staying at Takia(Place for animal sacrifice). 1857 - Mysteriously he disaapeared.Nobody knows where he was for one year,he himself never told. 1858 - He came back with a marriage party of Chand Patil,he was wearing a shirt and lungi seeing his dress and his manners Mahlsapati the priest of Khandoba Temple did not allow him to enter the temple.He started living in old mosque and for living he used beg in the village. 1858 to 1878 - In this 20 years he was just begging in the village and used to collect woods to lit fire in the mosque to avoid cold and animals.He used to wander here and there and fond of collecting burnt match sticks,villagers used to call him MAD FAKIR because of his accentric nature children used to tease him,baba was running them away by throwing stones,brickbats and wild abuses.There was a great drought in 1876. His importance was nothing in Shirdi village except known as Mad Fakir. 1879 - He started wearing Kafni instead of Shirt and Lungi. 1880 - Some unemployed people of the village started publicising him as incarnation of Sant Kabirdas and they created a story of Sai same as of Kabirs, born in a hindu family brought up by muslim and his teacher was a brahmin. 1886 - Baba got an attack of asthma he was senseless for three days,this was again publicised as miracle that he was in samadhi for three days. 1890 - Abdul baba joined Baba,he was working as an assistant for him,he was daily reading Quran,the holy book of Islam daily and was taking notes from Baba in a Diary.He was taking care of the grave of Baba after his death only after Abduls death sansthan could install the present statue of Baba in 1954. 1890 - 1910 - In a very meticulous way the publicity was done and it was very successful a mad fakir was suddenly became a SADGURU.Till 1910 he did not allow any Hindu activities in the masjid.By this time he was very old and weak. 1912 - Once again he was down with very high fever.He was too weak to resist anything many Hindu activities started even annual urus was converted into Ramnavami festival.His earning went upto Rs.400-500 daily if it is converted into todays value it will be somewhere around 7-8 Lakhs par day. 1918 - On 28th Sept.he fell seriously ill and stopped taking any food after 18 days he died and as par his desire his dead body was kept in a grave. 1929 - Mr.Dabholkar a treasurer in sansthan published Sri Sai Satcharita in marathi verse form,by this time baba became incarnation of God Dattatreya(a popular god in this part of country).The team of Dabholkar started proving Baba a Brahmin who was till now famous as a Muslim Fakir. 1936 - Narsimhaswamy wrote book based on interviews taken of Sai Devotees,he took utmost care to prove Baba again a Hindu Brahmin.He avoided taking interviews of babas Muslim devotees. 1940 - Sathya Sai Baba appeared on scene by declaring himself an incarnation of Sai Baba.He made a beautiful story of Sai Babas birth and parentage which is very popular today. 1944 - Gunaji translated Sri Sai Satcharita in English and proved him a Hindu only.he didnot translate the part where Baba looks muslim.This book is treated as most authentic book on Sai Baba. 1977 - After observing a great commercial success of film Jay Santoshi Maa which resulted in increased following of Vaishno Devi and Santoshi Mata, Sathya Sai invited popular film Producer/Director Manoj Kumar to make film on Sai Baba.The film was financed by Sathya Sai Baba even he financed Manmohan Desai to add a song on Sai Baba in his film Amar Akbar Anthony. 2013 - Sai Baba is blindly followed by many,without realising,how a mad fakir(1853-80 he was called mad) of a village became suddenly a sadguru and than God. It creates many doubts about him,his background,his behaviour,his knowledge and his false miracles there are many unanswered questions which no sai devotee is ready to answer. Our main intention is to remove this blind faith about Sai.We are sure Truth will prevail
