Sai means saint in Persian. Shri Shirdi Sai Baba stayed in Shirdi for sixty years and his life was replete with inter-religious and intercultural interactions as was his philosophy in life.
This is Sai Baba's iconic representation. His long, worn off robe, the scarf tied on his head, his posture - sitting with one leg across the other is how he is depicted in pictures.
Stories revolving around his life, his teachings are many but this icon is constant. Seated here in and alcove of rocks with one foot resting on the same depicts the hardships Baba went through during his lifetime.
The expression on his face, the gentleness in his eyes speaks of the compassion he had for human beings. He led a simple life, wanting no luxuries for himself.
His genteel personality attracted all. Very basic colors are used in this painting complementing the simplicity of the theme. His white robe is shaded with brown to depict the folds. His limbs also have numerous hues of brown and ochre making them looks close to natural. The background consists mostly of rocks. The foreground has a rock surrounded with small flowering plant symbolizing that there is life and brightness of flowers even amidst the hardness of rock.
Baba himself was like the flower that blooms to benefit the rest. He healed people's diseases and provided moral and material comfort to them. Sai Baba of Shirdi is in all respects, the essence and embodiment of spiritual enlightenment and religious harmony. He awakened people to the eternal truth and united all communities. This picture of Baba evokes the humane emotions in heart of the viewer and compels him to bow his head in respect to this great harbinger of peace and harmony.
