Even as Sri Sathya Sai Baba is lying in Sai Kulawant Hall in Puttaparthy blessing devotees with his last darshan, there are many an ardent believer who say that Baba isn't gone for ever. It's only a 'transit', the say, Baba will soon reincarnate (reborn) as Prema Sai in to this world. A family in Mysore claims that Baba will be reborn as Prema Sai in 2012 near the Ambegala Krishna temple in Doddamalur in Maddur taluk of Mandya.

Sathya Sai Baba in a landmark discourse on July 6, 1963, on Guru Purnima Day revealed that the Sai avatar is a triple incarnation of the Siva-Shakthi principle. First among this trinity was Siva as Shirdi Sai Baba, Shiva and Parvathi embodied as Sri Satya Sai Baba Himself) and the Shakthi principle that will incarnate as Prema Sai, is awaited.
