Sathya Sai Baba

Anybody heard of him ?
I knew about him since I first read about him in sometime around 2010. He attracted millions of pilgrims and I found myself wanting to visit his ashram in southern India. He died last year on Easter Sunday (I think). The man came up with some witty aphorisms but I treat those who claim to be incarnations of God with much strong suspicion. Thoughts ? Opinions ?
I found three articles on Buddhism from one of the websites dedicated to him:

http://www.saibaba.ws/teachings/bababuddha.htm
http://www.saibaba.ws/teachings/buddha/buddha.htm
I wouldn't trust him as an authority on Buddhism but he was an interesting and controversial character nonetheless or at least that's what I gathered from reading stories about him. There are websites that condemn him and defend him. If you want to look more into this figure's history I would suggest being objective and researching what both sides have to say about him. I myself am not interested in him as I once was.
