 Meher Baba , who was born into a Zoroastrian family , met Sai Baba once , during World War I , in December 1915 . Meher Baba was a youngster named Merwan Sheriar Irani , when he met Sai Baba for a few minutes during one of Sai Baba 's processions in Shirdi . This event is considered as the most significant in Meher Baba 's life . Shri Sai Satcharita ( Sai Baba 's life story ) , makes no mention of Meher Baba . But in Lord Meher , the life story of Meher Baba , there are numerous references to Sai Baba .
