As I drew closer to Sai Baba and began to hear stories of his extraordinary powers, I began to ask more earnestly, “Who is Sathya Sai Baba?”
In the Introduction to my first book, Sai Baba: The Holy Man and the Psychiatrist I described some of the powers attributed to Sai Baba (see below). Also, below is a clip from an introductory video about Sai Baba that gives first glimpses of him.
INTRODUCTION
I first met Sathya Sai Baba in 1972. I went to India as a Western psychiatrist to study the psychology of religion at first hand and left with a deep sense of mystery about a being I could not comprehend…It is reported that he can materialize objects from thin air and is capable of remarkable clairvoyant, telepathic and healing powers; that he is able to transform himself into other forms and identities and transport himself great distances instantaneously; that he has been seen in two or more places at once.
The scope of his reputed powers boggles the mind; it is in fact thought by his followers to extend beyond the limitations of time and space. To them, this charismatic and mysterious man is an avatar: a superhuman embodiment of the divine in human form.
