It is a biographical attempt to chronicle his journey from an adopted infant to becoming ‘Shirdi Sai Baba’ against the backdrop of historical events like the Indian freedom struggle and epidemics like the plague. MX Player’s new show ‘Sabka Sai’ pays a tribute to Sai Baba’s unique legacy. Baba also told some followers that the fakir’s wife had left him in the care of a Hindu guru, Venkusa of Selu, whom he stayed with for 12 years as his disciple. He reportedly told Mahalsapati, a close follower, that he was born of Deshastha Brahmin parents in the village of Pathri and had been entrusted to the care of a fakir as an infant. While his real name is unknown, ‘Sai’ stands for ‘a holy person’ in Persian, and ‘Baba’ for a fatherly figure in Hinduism. Questions about his origins, birthplace and powers remain unanswered for generations. Even a century after his demise, Sai Baba’s legacy and teachings remain timeless in India and abroad, which reflects in 8500 temples built in his name in 47 countries. His work created such profound impact that thousands within the state and the country began flocking to Shirdi just to catch a glimpse of him.
