About Prasanthi Nilayam

Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Born Ratnakaram Sathyanarayana Raju on 23 November 1926 in Puttaparthi, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba declared his mission at fourteen: the spiritual regeneration of humanity through truth, right conduct, peace, love and nonviolence. He put it simply: Love is God, God is Love. My life is my message.

He established the ashram in 1948. Around it grew free hospitals that have treated more than two million patients without charging anyone, a university where tuition and boarding are entirely free, and a drinking-water project that reached over a million people in drought-prone Anantapur district. The Sri Sathya Sai International Organisation now operates in 114 countries.

Bhagawan entered Mahasamadhi on 24 April 2011, aged 84. He is buried in Sai Kulwant Hall, in the same hall where he spent thousands of hours among devotees. The ashram continues under the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust.
