Comparing Sai Baba and Dalai Lama is like comparing a grape and a water melon. DL is well recognized, more popular throughout the world and the scope of his existence is wider than of Sai Baba. Let's start with Nobel Peace Prize, how about that? What is Sai Baba known for? How many people know him beside few in India and Nepal?
Dalai Lama has never said he is GOD, it's the people worshipping him who give him the status. John Leannon is God to many people but as far I remember, he never claimed him to be God neither. Infact in every TV interview DL has always claimed "I'm a simple monk", he has never done a magic show in the public. He's a political leader for the rest of the world but for his follower, he a spiritual leader too. I'm not a religious person, but being grown up forced to worhip Sai Baba, I hated him and if given a chance to pick between Sai Baba and Dali Lama, I'll choose Dalai Lama any day.
