The culture of Guru has been prevalent in sacred India since centuries. Our mother land has given birth for many sadgurus and one prominent among them is Sri Shirdi Sai Baba. Sri Saibaba lived in Shirdi (in Maharastra) continuously for a period of 60 years before he took his mahasamadhi in 1918. No one knew the exact birth place, date and parents of Saibaba.At the age of sixteen, he was seen in Shirdi under a neem tree practicing hard penance not minding the heat and cold. He kicked out maya and had gained complete proficiency at this young age. People were astonished seeing this young lad practicing hard penance.
