Са́тья Са́и Бáба — неоиндуистский религиозный лидер и гуру. Почитается своими последователями как чудотворец, аватара, воплощение Бога в индуизме.
Сатья Саи Баба был одной из самых заметных и противоречивых фигур в индийской духовной, социальной и политической жизни, он привлёк большое число последователей из средних и высших слоёв общества, в том числе «наиболее богатых, образованных и подверженных влиянию западных идей» индийцев: от президентов и премьер-министров до известных артистов. Он создал миллиардную финансовую империю .
Национальная ассамблея Венесуэлы в своей декларации назвала Бхагавана Шри Сатья Саи Бабу Махатмой наряду с Махатмой Ганди и Матерью Терезой. В 2002 г. парламент Великобритании обсуждал вопрос об обвинениях в сексуальных злоупотреблениях в адрес Сатья Саи Бабы в связи с потенциальной опасностью для детей британских последователей, которые могут оказаться наедине с Сатья Саи Бабой во время так называемого интервью в его ашраме. Помимо многочисленных приверженцев у Сатья Саи Бабы были и критики из числа бывших последователей по всему миру. Wikipedia

THE AVATAR: IN HIS OWN WORDS
„Were it not for the mind change of Sai devotees the world would already have fallen into complete chaos. The deterioration of mind and man has been very rapid and abrupt, even precipitous during the last fifteen years. That the world is not in total destruction is due to the change of mind of Sai devotees and to Sai's grace.“

„I have a "Task": To foster all mankind and ensure for all of them lives full of ananda (bliss). I have a "Vow": To lead all who stray away from the straight path again into goodness and save them. I am attached to a "work" that I love: To remove the sufferings of the poor and grant them what they lack. I have a "reason to be proud", for I rescue all who worship and adore me, aright. I have my definition of the "devotion" I expect: Those devoted to me have to treat joy and grief, gain and loss, with equal fortitude. This means that I will never give up those who attach themselves to me.“
Letter that he wrote to his older brother Seshama Raju (1947) [Better dating and sourcing of any publication would be useful here]
