Sai Baba

About the show

From the maker of Ramayan and Jai Ganga Maiya, comes a new offering - Sai Baba!

Shirdi Ka Sai Baba, Maharashtra’s greatest saint, has never put down any of his teachings in writing, as he was interested in awakening the people through ‘Bhakti’ and ‘Shraddha’. His countless devotees, from India and all over the world, look upon him as their guru, saint, saviour, an incarnation of the super power who manifested himself to human form to redeem mankind from destruction.

Following the astounding success of Ramayan, Dr. Ramanand Sagar has taken up the daunting task of telling the story of this great saint. The project has taken four years of painstaking research and is supported with extensive research material gathered from volumes of eye-witness accounts Sai Baba’s life story.

The series tells the story of the son of a Brahmin, who was given away to a fakir at the age of 5. It is believed that approximately 11 years Sai Baba was seen under a neem tree at Shirdi. He was soon recognised as the young son of the Brahmin who was given away to the fakir as a young child. Shot in a specially recreated sets in the Sagar Studios at Baroda, after four painstaking years of research, the set represents the small and simple town of Shirdi, the home of Baba between 1849 and 1918.
