Avatar Sri Balasai Baba

Avatar Sri Balasai Baba’s Birth
Sri Balasai Baba was born on 14 January 1960 in Kurnool, a small town in South India. His birth was foretold by the great Indian saint, Sri Ramana Maharshi.
In due course, all who were (and are) able to come close to Sri Balasai Baba, are able to perceive that he possesses the special characteristics of a divine incarnation. Like Gautama Buddha, he teaches equanimity at all times, in all places and in all situations and shows the way to inner peace. Like Jesus he requests us to develop unconditional and universal love, and to: „Love our neighbour as we love ourselves“. As Lord Rama did, he refers to the way of righteousness (Dharma), by supporting the underprivileged in society, and protection for the virtuous and honest. The characteristics of Sri Krishna, on the other hand, are expressed in his playfulness and charity, and by his many miraculous acts.
