history of shirdi saibaba

Shirdi Sai baba temple is a holy place that was built over the Samadhi of Shri Sai Baba which is located in the Maharashtra state. Shirdi is the famous temple of Shri Sai Baba. It was established in 1922 to carry out the services of Shri Sai Baba.

At the age of 16 years  Shri Saibaba came  to  Shirdi village  which in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra and remained their till his death. Saibaba found shelter in Khandoba temple, where a villager Mahalsapathi in the temple addressed him as Sai or Saint Sai baba. Shri Saibaba of Shirdi lived between 1838 and 1918, whose real name, birthplace and date of birth are not known. An Indian spiritual guru and a fakir, Shri Saibaba in Shirdi was regarded with great reverence by both Hindu and Muslim followers. Lord Sai lived in a mosque and after death his body was cremated in a temple.

In the eighteenth century a young bearded man (Shirdi Sai baba) took shelter in a mosque, in Shirdi Village. Nobody knew from where shirdi Sai baba came. At the beginning, villages offered food to the Sai baba and sometimes he gave his food to the animals also. Sai baba solved problems of many poor people which made this less know fakir, to be known as shridi sai baba

 People also realised that this sai baba was not an ordinary person but a person with extraordinary godly powers. Such powers are not seen in the normal human beings. Baba preached his principle of love and faith in humanity to all his disciples. He always helped the poor and needy people every time. Sai baba made so many miracles such as restoring the eyes to a blind person and in the another occasion he lighted a lantern with water instead of oil to burn it

As all good things have to end ultimately - shirdi sai Baba left his body on his own will on 15th Oct. 1918, leaving his millions of believers and followers crying. Sai baba was different, he lived his life very simply and maintained a relationship with his teaching among all the people, irrespective of the religious. He lived with common folk as a penniless fakir, wearing a torn kafni, sleeping on a mat keeping his on a brick, begging for his food.
