He is believed to have arrived at Shirdi as a young man and remained there till his death. His teachings combined the elements of both Hinduism and Islam-he lived in a mosque, but assigned a Hindu name, ‘Dwarakamayi’, to it. He followed no religion and made no distinctions based upon religion or caste. He taught that the sole purpose of human existence was self-realization and directed his followers to follow a path of love, forgiveness, inner peace and charity. Sai Baba was a very popular master during his lifetime and continues to be revered by people around the world, especially in India. His devotees regarded him as a saint, fakir, and satguru, according to their individual proclivities and beliefs.
He himself did not follow any specific religion and advised his devotees to transcend the man-made barriers of religion and embrace the principle of universal love for all creatures. Shirdi Sai Baba was an Indian spiritual master who was revered by both Hindu and Muslim devotees.
