The Indian spiritual teacher Sathya Sai Baba (*23.11.1926 †24.4.2011) emphasised universal human values: truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence. His teachings were addressed to all humanity; they attracted spiritual seekers of all faiths from all nations. With simple maxims such as “Help ever, hurt never” or “Love all, serve all”, Sai Baba reached people from all socio-economic strata. In the course of his work, institutions for the welfare of millions, especially the poorest, came into being under his spiritual guidance.
