Baba was notorious for giving vague, misleading and contradictory replies to questions concerning his parentage and origins, brusquely stating the information was unimportant.
This sentence seems too negative, almost pugilist in its approach, while at the same time not being of any significant importance to the overall article. Suggest removing this or adding something more neutral like - Sai Baba was uninterested in talking about his his parentage and origins,often brusquely stating that the information was unimportant

A large number of books has been written on Shirdi Sai Baba in various languages, primary sources of information are taken from books, diary, journals, magazines written during Baba's time and books that are written or published after Baba's time. A complete encyclopedia of information is available in a book titled "Shirdi Sai Baba-An inspiring life" <https://harpercollins.co.in/product/shirdi-sai-baba-2/> Abhiarch99 (talk) 11:39, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This page has ben completely scrubbed of all references to the mystical powers that many saints are surrounded by during their lifetimes. There is something extremely insidious happening on Wikipedia, where all references to the above mentioned phenomena are being systematically removed. The page is now incomplete and misleading, certain references must be re-included to give an accurate sense of the life of this great saint, and Wikipedia should really own up to its own deep-seated malignant bias.
