Rough estimates put the total value of his assets at anywhere between Rs 35,000 and Rs 40,000 crore, apart from substantial cash reserves.įor the record, the Sathya Sai Central Trust, established in 1964, has the godman as chairman. What is at stake now is the mindboggling institutions the godman built around the globe in 166 countries and a corpus of money about which the world knows little. Having claimed to be a reincarnation of Shirdi Sai and predicted a life of 96 years for himself, Sathya Sai Baba pronounced many years ago that his next avatar would be in form of “Prema Sai” in Mandya district of Karnataka.

He has been on ventilator and other lifesupport systems for almost 10 days now. For the thousands of devotees thronging this town in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh and many more elsewhere, what is of concern is Sai Baba’s failing health.
