It claims that Sai Baba would make references to Patri in the Nizam State and much later in life told one of his staunch devotees. Sri Narasimha Swamy, a devotee of Sai Baba wrote a book Life of Sai Baba. According to this version, his mother’s name was Vaishnavdevi and his father’s name was Abdul Sattar. Sai Baba is also claimed to have been born in Tamil Nadu. According to multiple sources, Sai Baba was born in a small village Pathri in Maharashtra to a boatman called Ganga Bhavadia and his wife Devagiriamma. There are various beliefs surrounding Sai Baba’s place of birth and parents. The book itself is a compilation based on accounts by his various disciples and Hemadpant's personal observations of Sai Baba from 1910 onwards. Most information about Shirdi Sai Baba tends to be derived from a book called Shri Sai Satcharitra written by a disciple called Hemadpant (also known as Annasaheb Dabholkar / Govind Raghunath) in 1922 in Marathi. Sai Baba's date of birth including his birthplace remains unknown.
