Compassion Incarnate

Compassion Incarnate offers glimpses into the life and philosophy of Shri Sathya Sai Baba, variously regarded by His devotees and admirers as an avatar, spiritual guru, saint, and philanthropist. Shri Sathya Sai Baba founded and ran a spiritual empire and a vast charitable organisation based on the twin principles of ‘Help Ever, Hurt Never’ and ‘Service to Man is Service to God’. Millions have benefitted from His charitable institutions and social-service initiatives, which are ever-expanding in scope and include super-speciality hospitals with a zero-cost-to-every-patient policy; general hospitals offering free medical care; countless ‘free medical camps’ held regularly; a large water-supply scheme for rain-starved regions; high-quality subsidised educational institutions, etc. His phenomenal mass appeal across countries and continents is based on His spiritual guidance and charitable work, especially for the underprivileged.
