Shirdi, located approximately
296 km from Mumbai, was established in 1922
to carry out the noble service of the saint
Shri Sai Baba. The saga of
Shri Sathya Sai Baba of Shirdi
started in the middle of the last century
when, as a boy about 16 years of age, he first
appeared here under a neem tree absorbed in
a hard penance. He devoted 60 years of life
to the upliftment of the poor and suffering.
