I've been dating a girl for about a year now and her parents are followers of Sai Baba and, needless to say, I'm a little skeptical.

Sai Baba is said to be an incarnation of the Divine who has come NOT to convert anybody to a religion but for whatever religion you are in, to be a better person in it and see the good in all and everything. His is a teaching of love and acceptance to all.
I am sure you will notice this girl's family is a rather nice type of people. Sai Baba's devotees are usually like that for they express love and respect to each and everyone and thing. They do not go around criticizing or condemning others, that's Baba's teaching.

Sai Baba has done many good things for society. He has plenty of money and he is using for good purposes. But that doesn't make him a god. Hindus are crazy about gurus, because they are a confused lot. Anyone saying some nice things, acceptable unto them, and they fall at his feet and start worshipping him. Some take advantage of this situation and start a cult following. Sai Baba is a guru, teaching good things. People should respect him for that and not make him a god.

I don't want to insult his followers but it is an another example of greedy people in India. The greedy people think that Sai Baba will do some magic for them to get easy money and success.
I have very negative thought on it.
The people who market his faith are in good position and have done good so far.

Why are you skeptical?
Because it goes against what you were told the truth was?
Don't assume that God is less pleased with the prayers of a devout, loving Hindu than he is with the often-bigoted ravings of many Christians that drone on with endless ideas of their religion of superiority.
God loves all races and faiths. Why should it surprise you If he chooses to visit with one of them for a while to teach and guide them. Do you believe in a God so limited that this would be impossible for her to do? Or do you see your belief system as the only possible way into the heart of some selectively loving God.
Silly little idea isn’t it.
Love and blessings.

He is an inspirier, religious leader who says prostrate on your mothers feet instead of mine(his), though millions wait in queue for that. I m not his follower but my relatives are. he says serving hands are better than praying ones. In case you are anxious about a marriage with her, he will not be a hurdle if your love is true, but if otherwise he will not think twice to help the girl through divine means(yes he has divine powers and has proven in front of thousands). He is also quiet wise if you count his words. He and his followers have helped infrastructure to supply water to two districts and that covers nearly 15 million people. He not just says but does. If you are true to your soul he might turn out to be the best of your friends and also a guru. But beware of certain crazy followers and misled in case you want to really take up a journey to find about him.
