Nobody knows where he came from and nobody knows his history and background. No information is known about Sai Baba's real name his parents and place of birth. When people asked him about his past life he said the name "Sai" was given to him when he came to Shirdi (Maharashtra - India) by a local temple priest who recognized him as a Muslim saint and greeted him with the words “Sai”. Sai Baba's biographer named “Narashima Swamiji” claims that Shirdi Sai Baba was born as child of Brahmin parents. According to the book named “Sai Satcharita”, Shirdi Sai Baba arrived at the village of Shirdi when he was about the age of 16.
