Sathya Sai Baba was an avatar of compassion, love, and selfless service for all mankind. He made no distinction between human beings.

About Báb

The Báb باب‎ Siyyid `Alí Muhammad سيد علی ‌محمد‎ (20 October 1819 – 9 July 1850) the founder of Bábism, was a merchant from Shiraz, Persia, who at the age of twenty-four claimed to be a new and independent Manifestation of God and the promised Qá'im (or Mahdí). After his declaration he took on the title of the Báb meaning the "Gateway", by which he is primarily known. Several years after the Báb's execution by firing squad Bahá'u'lláh claimed to fulfill his prophecy of "He whom God shall make manifest " and founded the Bahá'í Faith.
