His teachings were rooted in the universal ideals of truth, right conduct, peace, love and non-violence,” said Dr. Singh in his condolence message.
“Sri Satya Saibaba as a preacher of the highest human values was an iconic figure for over five decades. He endeared himself to the people through various institutions, with headquarters at Prashanthi Nilayam, that promoted egalitarian values, education and public health,” he added.
The Prime Minister further said Sri Satya Saibaba was an inspiration to people of all faiths, as he believed that it is the duty of every person to ensure that all people have access to the basic requirements for sustenance of life.
“The passing away of Sri Satya Saibaba is an irreparable loss to all and the nation deeply mourns his passing away. I express my sincere condolences to the millions of his followers, disciples and well wishers,” said Dr. Singh.
