Sai Baba

[David Magier]

Mr. Barker inquired about anyone working on Sai Baba. Here is an entry
from The International Directory of South Asia Scholars (avail. online
via The South Asia Gopher), for a scholar who does some work on this
topic. Hope this helps.  David Magier   magier at columbia.edu
