Namaste Hindu DIR,
I come today to ask some questions about Sai Baba of Shirdi. As a follower of Lord Shiva, did Babaji consider himself a reincarnation of Lord Shiva or is that something his followers believed he was? Also, I intend to start learning more about his life and have seen that many say Shri Sai Satcharitra is a good book to read about his life, teachings, and miracles. He has a huge following in present day but is that something he ever commented on in terms of after his death, did he want devotees to continue on with how things are now? I've read that he was the embodiment of a true saint and that is something I can respect; however, what specifically caused many to believe he was a avatar?
Thank you for reading and hope to hear from some of you soon.
