Aum Sai Ram.
So many devotees in the world are confuse between Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi & Satya Sai baba.The main question in their mind is whether satya sai baba is the reincarnation of shirdi sai baba ?
The answer is very simple.There are so many differences between them.These are.................
i) Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi has no incarnation.He had not tell to any one that he will reincarnate as sathya Sai rather he had told that his samadhi will talk and advise to the devotees after his mahasamadhi.It is true also.But Satya Sai Baba is telling that he is the reincarnation of Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi,which is false & vague.
ii) He had a simple life of living.He has no properties,no families,no assets etc.He was living like a fakir.But Satya Sai baba is just opposite of him.
iii) Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi was always chanting "Allaha malik he" "Allaha tumahara acha karega"for betterment of his devotees.He had never done any miracle by showing to his devotees like extracting Shivling from his mouth,extracing Udi from his hand,which is an ordinary scene of a magician.But Satya Sai Baba was doing such type of miracles.
iv)There are 5 incarnations of lord Dattatreya.Sripaada Vallabha, Sri Gajanan Maharaj, Sri Manikyaprabhu, Sri Akkalkot Maharaj & sri sai Baba of Shirdi.There is no 6th incarnation.
v) Above all you can get your own experience that If one saint/avatar of god is getting popularity after his samadhi.Then he is the real avatar of god.And if he is loosing his popularity,then he is not any of the incarnation or avatar of god.he may be a common saint.
Conclusion:From the above in my opinion,though Sri Sathya Sai Baba was not the reincarnation of Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi,his social service was excellent.He was a great sadhaka.
