Yes I am also a devotee of SRI SATYA SAI BABA. To write about him and the miracles done by him this forum is not sufficiant. A belief in him itself remove all our miseries and give us solace.
Now some information about Baba-
Sathya Sai Baba (born Sathya Narayana Raju on November 23 1926 or later than 1927 — with the family name of "Ratnakaram") is a controversial South Indian guru often described as a Godman and a miracle worker.According to the Sathya Sai Organisation, there are an estimated 1,200 Sathya Sai Baba Centers in 130 countries world-wide. The number of Sathya Sai Baba adherents is estimated between 6 million to 100 million.
The beliefs and practices in the Sathya Sai Baba movement are inspired by Indian guru Sathya Sai Baba. Some followers of him have faith in his claim to be a purna avatar (full divine incarnation) of Shiva and Shakti, who is believed to have been predicted in the Bhagavad Gita. This means that some of his followers see him as a God. They are engaged in singing bhajans and charity. Its offical organization is the Sathya Sai Organization. However the Sathya Sai Baba movement extends beyond the organisation.
Important teachings
Sathya Sai Baba (SSB) preaches love and the unity of all religions. He says that all religions lead to God and that followers should continue to follow their original religions. He says that those who follow his teachings will find themselves exampling their own original faith more fully, i.e. that will make Christians become better Christians and Hindus better Hindus, et cetera.
He preaches a foundation of five basic human values: Truth (Sathya), Right Conduct (Dharma), Peace (Shantih), Love for God and all creatures (Prema), and Non-violence (Ahimsa).

The Vedas say, nityo nityanam: God is one, Narayana, Vishnu, or Krishna. Isvarah paramah Krishna and the demigods like Indra, Candra,Varuna etc... are delegated with powers to manage this material world. These demigods are all living entities (nityanam) with different grades of material power. The demigods are, so to speak, different officers and directors in the government of the Supreme Lord. They can be compared to the different supplying agents, for heating,lighting, drinking etc.. purposes.
Krishna says in the bhagavad gita, 10.14
Know that all opulent, beautiful and glorious creations spring from but a spark of My splendor.
He also says as follows in Bhagavad-gita,
mattah parataram nanyat: "There is nothing superior to My form as the Personality of Godhead Krishna ."
aham adir hi devanam: "I am the origin of all the demigods."
And after understanding Bhagavad-gita from Krishna , Arjuna also confirms this in the following words: param brahma param dhama pavitram-paramam bhavan, "I now fully understand that You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Absolute Truth, and that You are the refuge of everything."
The Narayana Upanishad (1) says, atha puruso ha vai Narayano 'kamayata prajah srjeyeti: "Then the Supreme Personality Narayana desired to create living entities."
Narayanad brahma jayate, Narayanad prajapatih prajayate, Narayanad indro jayate, Narayanad astau vasavo jayante, Narayanad ekadasa rudra jayante, Narayanad dvadasadityah:
"From Narayana, Brahma is born, and from Narayana the patriarchs are also born. From Narayana, Indra is born, from Narayana the eight Vasus are born, from Narayana the eleven Rudras are born, from Narayana the twelve Adityas are born." This Narayana is an expansion of Krishna.
Conclusion for easy understanding,
God, the Supreme Personality godhead is one and is called as Narayana, Vishnu, Jagannatha, Krishna etc...
And the scriptures mention when the avatar comes and what he does etc... Srimad Bhagavatam(written 5000 years) mentions that in Kali yuga Lord Buddha and Lord Kalki will appear. Jayadeva Gosvami glorifies the ten avataras and mentions Lord Buddha and Lord Kalki in the Kali yuga.
The name of the person does not appear in any of the scriptures or by any acharyas, viz., Sripad Shankaracharya and the four Vaishnava Acharyaas, i.e,c Ramanujacharya, Madhvacharya, Nimbarkacharya or Vishnuswami etc...

I am also his devotee. He listened me from my childhood. Because during my younger age i used to make anti comments against Sai Baba. But he made me understand his almighty at the age of 28 yrs. I started having 100% belief on him for the past 4 years. In all my works i strongly believe that he is only leading me in a successful way. Thanks to Baba. I could have had his dharshan only once here at Chennai by last month only. I pray to him to give me one more chance to have his dharshan. SAI RAM

He is a rascal and a pretender. He is using mundane magic tricks and word jugglery to mislead people. He is saying "I am God", without displaying any potencies of God, nor any opulences of God, nor any authority of God. Satya Sai Baba is not listed as one of the incarnations of God as listed in the Vedas. He is not preaching according to the authorized disciplic succession of spiritual masters, he is preaching his own agenda only. What good is it doing to "materialize" jewelry and ashes? God has no need of jewelry and ashes. Baba is making a fool of himself and his followers.
His Divine Grace, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada, founder acarya of the International Society for Krsna Consciousness, and authorized spiritual master in disciplic succession from Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, has denounced Satya Sai Baba as an imposter, and has challenged him to respond with his qualifications. Baba declined to meet this challenge. He is doing a terrible injustice by falsely claiming to be that which he is not.

Don't do propaganda for your misdeamenors. You should only believe in a Shrotriya - Brahmannishta Mahapurush (a personality who has the true divine knowledge of all the scriptures, and one who has comprehended tbe incomprehensible Krishna ). And till the time you dont get Him, be patient.
Dont mislead others into following your path, instead cry for a while and plead mercy of the God, to introduce you to a true saint.
