He proclaimed himself to be a reincarnation of Sai Baba of Shirdi-a saint who became famous in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Maharashtra, and who had died eight years before Sathya was born.
To this Sathya announced calmly and firmly "I am Sai Baba," a reference to Sai Baba of Shirdi. He took a stick and asked him who he was. His father became furious upon seeing this, thinking his son was bewitched. On, Sathya called household members and materialized sugar candy and other items.
Concerned, they took him to many priests, "doctors" and exorcists. His parents brought Sathya home to Puttaparthi. There were "symptoms of laughing and weeping, eloquence and silence." "He began to sing Sanskrit verses, a language of which he had no prior knowledge." Doctors believed his behavior to be hysteria. Within the next few days there was a noticeable change in Sathya's behavior. On 8 March 1940, while living with his elder brother Seshama Raju in Uravakonda, Sathya was apparently stung by a scorpion. He was said to be capable of materialising objects such as food and sweets out of thin air. He was exceptionally talented in drama, music, dance and writing, and was an avid composer of poems and plays. As a child, he was described as "unusually intelligent" and charitable. His birth, which his mother Eswaramma asserted was by miraculous conception, was also said to be heralded by miracles. Almost everything known about his life stems from the hagiography that has grown around him, the presentation of narratives that hold special meaning to his devotees and are considered evidence of his divine nature. Sathyanarayana Raju was born to Eswaramma and Peddavenkama Raju Ratnakaram in the village of Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, India.
