The history of World Shirdi Sai Baba Society can be traced back to its founder Kannan Baba, an ardent devotee of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba. Once Baba appeared in his dream and told “Come to my house and bring the crying babies” to Shirdi. It took a few years for him to realize the meaning of “crying babies”, that is, to bring the “suffering souls” to Shirdi. Since then, Kannan Baba devoted himself completely to the service of his master Shri Shirdi Sai Baba. His aim was to put into practice and promote the teachings, instructions and philosophy of Shri Sai throughout the world
