Sarathi Baba Wiki: Biography of college dropout to spiritual guru
Sarathi Baba wiki and biography here.
Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today ordered a Crime Branch probe into the Sarathi Baba controversy following the exclusive expose and constant news flash on News7 channel.
Crime Branch ADG Bijay Kumar Sharma told media that tomorrow (Friday) the Crime Branch team would move to Kendrapada and initiate a comprehensive investigation basing on both media highlights and written complaints lodged in the local police station.
Few people know about the background of Odisha godman Sarathi Baba. His real name is Santosh Raul, whose native place is Ganjam district. His family later shifted to Kendrapara district after his father was appointed as a meter reader in the Electrical Sub Division office at Mahipala.

After completing his primary education, Santosh completed his Matriculation from Gulnagar High School in Kendrapara. Later he took admission in Kendrapada college. He was not good at his studies and used to sit in the last bench in his class.
His classmates say Santosh used to tell them that one day he will become a God and they will fall on his feet.
Reminiscing about the days before Santosh became famous, Kendarapada based lawyer Binod Bihari Nayak says: “He used to run errands for us. He would fetch tea, paan and other such stuff for us. I don’t know how and when he became a Baba.”
Nayak says Santosh vanished from Kendarapara in 1985 and reappeared in the town after seven years in 1992. “He had completely changed his attire and now sported a white dhoti, a white half-banyan and a Bombay Dyeing turkish towel on his shoulder. Though no one quite knows where he spent the intervening seven years, many believe he went to Kamaksha and learnt some black magic before returning to Kendrapara,” he says.
From then on, Santosh identified himself as Srimad Sarathi Dev and began his second innings of his life at Barimula on the Kendrapara-Indupur road in 1992-93 where he purchased two gunths of land at Rs 65,000. There he set up a modest ashram in a thatched house and conducted satsang every Sunday.
Sarathi Baba, however, soon went beyond holding satsangs and graduated to performing ‘miracles’ producing bibhuti out of nowhere and having honey dripping from his feet, drawing large crowds in the process.
With a large number of people becoming his disciples, his ashram grew from a thatched house to a two-storey building and finally a huge temple, known as Sarathi temple, during Rath Yatra in 2014. Sarathi Baba used to sit on an embellished throne and addresses his disciples.

Some other sources said that, in the late Eighties, many had seen him singing songs in devotional music programmes in Kendrapada town.
With the dawn of Nineties, Santosh Raul, a college dropout, had donned the mantle of Sarathi Baba. By the turn of Century, popularity of Sarathi Baba had swelled manifold with thousands of devotees making beeline to Sarathi Ashram in Barimula village on the outskirts of district Headquarters Township.
Sarathi Baba presently has a group of influential devotees including political leaders, IAS, OAS and police officers, well-known industrialists and cine stars. Many BJD politicians, including a minister from the district, are frequently seen in his ashram.
Armed police were deployed near the ashram to keep a close watch on the situation to avoid any breach in order.

Nothing has been clearly brought out, the woman involved says she has been blackmailed, and why the public interfere in some one’s personal life? Iss desh mein live in relationship, same sex marriage, porn sites etc all are permitted legally, and in our Hindu mythology many God, saints had illicit love with other women even by force, but here nothing has happened as such, kichhi irsaparayan lokankar badmashi ye sabu.shanti raksha karibaku Police lathi marina kichhi nua katha nuhein. Ya pain okila sangha boycott kariba okila sangha ra childishness. Shame on the legal fraternity, and how otv is not showing their staff removed from otv for his version?

santosh raul ebe khaibu fish jhola
i personally find no words to applaud this guy. In my eye he is brainy out of box. Here war happens. Blood flows in name of religion..He just does business. So what happens? I hope when aliens will attack earth,then we will be together irrespective of religions. Why not today against global warming , deforestation? Slowly people will accept. I am not against god..God is only one who has told geeta to krishna, sent jesus allah gautam even einstein newton mahamta gandhi here just to make human life easier..so better accept that in future religion will be a business..True thing lasts..
