people, and to help to educate the poor and needy around the world.
Now, his ashram is a very beautiful garden, consisting of a large number of trees, plants and agricultural fields. There are several small temples inside the ashram, such as the temple of the god, Ganesha built next to the main entrance to the ashram. Inside that temple is another beautiful statue of the god, Ganesha, near the beautiful temple of the god, Sai-Murugan.
The ashram has a small temple of the god, Krishna, whose statue is presented with Gomata, the divine cow. These temples are great places for individual prayer and meditation.
A small canal called Premanadhi flows close to the ashram grounds and is one of the places where this candidate prefers to perform miracles in front of his devotees, including the materialization of sacred ash and statues of Hindu gods.
This candidate said that another Shiva temple will be built in the near future, and a large meeting hall for devotees will be built very soon. Soon a primary school and a primary health care center for those in need will open in Rattaparthi. In general, his predictions point to the supposed significant growth of his ashram and the tradition that is now rapidly developing around him.
This candidate emphasizes that his ashram should not be called a community, but rather a more appropriate word would be a "non-religious organization" aimed at social service. People belonging to different religions and traditions can come to this ashram — the doors are hospitably open to everyone.
Among the predictions of Sathya Sai Baba himself, it never sounded that he might reincarnate in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu; almost all predictions point to the state of Karnataka.
Let us once again emphasize the time of birth of this candidate, which is 2004. That is during the lifetime of Sathya Sai Baba. For the followers of this candidate, all these contradictions are irrelevant, since they reasonably say there are no limits for God.
The material of this chapter describes the story of one of the candidates. Everyone can independently decide whether or not to accept this young man as Prema Sai Baba. His energy is very strong and the miracles he performs are amazing.
It is interesting that the parents of this young man are devotees of Sathya Sai Baba; naturally they, like many others, expected the arrival of Prema Sai Baba. At some point, all sorts of miracles began to happen in their blessed home. Gradually, it became clear, to everyone, that miracles happen through their son.
At that moment, the idea arose that the young man was the long-awaited Prema Sai Baba. I think this is a dangerous trend, because God can work miracles through anyone, but that doesn't mean that everyone should proclaim themselves Prema Sai Baba.
The candidate from Tamil Nadu makes a very bright impression on me, but there is little chance that he is the real incarnation of Prema Sai Baba. He wants too much to appear as an incarnation of Sathya Sai Baba.
With his appearance and movements, he strives in every possible way to resemble Sathya Sai Baba. Many candidates, including this young man, build their image by imitating Sathya Sai Baba. Therein lies the problem — Sai Baba's "Prema” is not a repetition of Sathya Sai Baba, as some would expect.
The Prema Sai Baba is the next stage in the development of God's mission on Earth. In his previous incarnations, he had a different style of preaching and interaction with people.
In his current incarnation, he is different from previous manifestations of divinity because it is a new age with new challenges. The real Prema Sai Baba is himself — he does not strive to be what others want him to be.
43. The mysterious village of Gunaparthi
Several times, Sathya Sai Baba said his next incarnation would be in the village of Gunaparthi, while at the same time, saying the place of his next incarnation would be the village of Doddamallur, which is located in the south of India in the state of Karnataka.
Let's take a look at these two locations — Gunaparthi and Doddamallur. Is there any contradiction in Sathya Sai Baba's pointing out two possible places for his next birth? Let's understand and analyze the situation.
One of the candidates was born in Calcutta (or near Calcutta), in eastern India. His date of birth is 2004 or 2005. Once again, we see a candidate who was born during the lifetime of Sathya Sai Baba.
There are Sai devotees who, after carefully studying Sathya Sai Baba's many lectures, found he spoke about a special descent of the highest divinity precisely in the period of 2004 and 2005.
As of today (2023), we have at least two candidates born at this time. One in Tamil Nadu (South India) and the other in Calcutta (East India). There is information that another candidate, born at that time, lives in the state of Maharashtra.
There is an assumption there is a village near Calcutta called Adi-Gunaparthi. Several Sai devotees who support Prema Sai Baba's birth near Calcutta try to claim their candidate was born in the village of Adi-Gunaparthi.
The candidate who was born in Calcutta is called Shakti. He was born in the Brahmin caste of Hindu priests. It is known his parents are not very happy that Prema Sai Baba may have been born in their family. It is difficult to say why the boy's parents have had such a strange reaction.
Perhaps the parents do not want their son to have increased attention. There are reports the parents of this candidate suggest if their son supports the hypothesis that he is Prema Sai Baba, then this may spoil the fate of the young man. Of course, the opinion of the parents may change, but for now it is clear they do not believe in this hypothesis, so they’re trying to
