Sai Baba, the guru of 12 billion €

"My life is my message," said Sathya Sai Baba, the last of the great Indian guru, philanthropist and educator, who passed away April 24 in just 85 years. After a month of inpatient hospital in Puttaparthi, in Andhra Pradesh, though he had told his followers that he would live up to 93 in good health.

Leaving millions of faithful around the world who thought he was immortal, in consternation and dismay - how can a god die? - And one of the largest business empires in India, Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, valued at about € 12 billion. Where in 1993 the government had tried to see clearly (as the Trust's budget is not transparent) so as to have opened an investigation to find out how he had Sai Baba to put on an empire that at the time was valued at $ 2 billion .
