The Sathya Sai Organisation reports that there are an estimated 1,200 Sathya Sai Baba Centers in 114 countries worldwide.In India itself, Sai Baba draws followers from predominantly upper-middle-class, urban sections of society who have the 'most wealth, education and exposure to Western ideas.'He was a cultural icon in India and drew an audience with presidents and prime ministers from India and beyond who have become his devotees in 2002, he claimed to have followers in 178 countries. Since there are no formal ties of membership, the actual figure may never be known. The number of active Sathya Sai Baba adherents was estimated in 1999 to be around 6 million, although followers' estimations are far higher. Sathya Sai Baba and his organisations support a variety of free educational institutions, hospitals, and other charitable works in India and abroad. Sathya Sai Baba claimed to be the reincarnation of the spiritual guru, Sai Baba of Shirdi, whose teachings were an eclectic blend of Hindu and Muslim beliefs (23 November 1926 – 24 April 2011) was an Indian guru, spiritual figure and educator.He is described by his devotees as an avatar, godman,spiritual teacher and miracle worker.The apparent materialising of vibhuti (holy ash) and other small objects such as rings, necklaces and watches by Baba has been a source of both fame and controversy – skeptics consider these simple conjuring tricks while devotees consider them evidence of divinity.
