Keyakinan dan praktik
Ashram dan mandir
Puttaparthi, tempat Sathya Sai Baba dilahirkan dan tinggal sampai sekarang, aslinya adalah sebuah desa kecil. Di sini sekarang terdapat sebuah kompleks universitas yang luas, Chaitanya Jyoti (sebuah Museum Agama-agama Dunia yang telah memperoleh sejumlah penghargaan internasional untuk rancangannya,[10]), sebuah museum spiritual, planetarium, stasiun kereta api, stadion dengan pemandangan ke bukit, gedung administrasi, stadion tertutup, dan lainnya.[11] Politikus tinggi India, seperti mantan Presiden dan Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam dan mantan Perdana Menteri Atal Bihari Vajpayee menjadi tamu resmi ashram di Puttaparthi.[12][13] Pada perayaan ulang tahun Sathya Sai Baba yang ke-80, dilaporkan bahwa lebih dari jutaan orang hadir, dan juga 13.000 delegasi dari India dan 180 negara lainnya.[14]
Sathya Sai Baba menetap di ashram utamanya yang disebut Prashanthi Nilayam (kediaman kedamaian tertinggi) di Puttaparthi. Pada musim panas, Baba meninggalkan ashram Prashanthi Nilayam ke ashram lain yang disebut Brindavan di Kadugodi, Whitefield, kota di pinggiran kota Bangalore. Terkadang, ia mengunjungi ashram Sai Shruti di Kodaikanal.[15]
Sathya Sai Baba mendirikan mandir utama di India. Pusat pertama, didirikan di Mumbai, disebut "Dharmakshetra" atau "Sathyam". Pusat kedua, didirikan di Hyderabad, disebut "Shivam". Pusat ketiga, didirikan di Chennai, disebut "Sundaram".[16]. Sundaram terkenal untuk kelompok bhajannya dan mereka telah merilis 54 volume kaset dan CD, dengan volume ke-54 dinyanyikan oleh Baba.
Program harian di ashram Sathya Sai Baba biasanya dimulai dengan mengucapkan "OM" dan doa pagi (Suprabatham), lalu diikuti dengan Veda Parayan (pembacaan Weda), nagarasankirtana (lagu devosi pagi) dan bhajan dan darshan dua kali sehari (kehadiran Sai Baba untuk penggemar)[17].
