Spreading his message
Over the years, the number of his followers has crossed millions. His organisation is spread over 137 countries. He has a large following across the West, though he has not visited many of these countries.
The organisation has built a magnificent ashram called Prashanti Nilayam (abode of great peace) in Puttaparthi where his devotees gather regularly to sing bhajans (hymns) and many work towards helping the disadvantaged. At his ashram Baba often meets his followers one on one, gives discourses and works on social projects.
