Prashanthi Nilayam is the main ashram of Sri Sathya Sai Baba at
Puttaparthi, the birthplace of Baba. Puttaparthi is in the Ananthapur district
of Andhra Pradesh. Almost every Indian and a large number of people in other
countries have certainly heard of Sri Sathya Sai Baba and considerable numbers
among them are disciples and devotees of Baba. I have been to Prashanthi
Nilayam two times and to Baba’s ashram at White field, Bangalore, once. I had
the opportunity of being in Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s presence four times and
sought his blessings.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba is a highly revered spiritual leader and
world teacher since 1940, from the age of 14 years. His life and message are
inspiring millions of people throughout the world to turn Godward and lead
purposeful and moral lives. His service to society in the fields of education,
health care, drinking water supply to several places in drought-hit areas and
service to society through his disciples whenever and wherever there is a need
is highly admirable. And then there are many miracles involving Sri Sathya Sai
Baba and his devotees. Several believers in him have benefitted by seeking his
blessings and I am one of them. To know and understand Sri Sathya Sai Baba one
has to read as much as possible about his life, his teachings and the experience
of his devotees. And plenty of such literature is available on the internet.
