Sri Shirdi Sai Baba Temple Of Austin

Baba's life was one of unity. He lived to unite the different castes and creeds together as one family and unite every person with God. He saw no difference between one religion and another, saying often, "Subka Malik Ek," "One God governs all."
The villagers of Shirdi were unaware of the Divine Play taking place as a young, nameless fakir sat under a neem tree on the outskirts of town. Villagers were surprised to see someone so young practicing such hard penances. He had no love for perishable things and self-realization was his sole concern. This saintly boy left Shirdi for four years, his whereabouts unknown. Then, he returned to Shirdi as part of a wedding procession. Upon seeing the fakir, a local Khamdoba priest greeted him, as if divinely inspired, saying "Ya Sai" or "Welcome, Sai." He never left Shirdi after that and was now known as Sai Baba.
