All the media is highlighting that Sri Sathya Sai Baba himself once told he would live upto 96 years of age and since he died at 85 years of age he went wrong in his prediction about his longevity.This 85 years is as per the western calendar and solar based.
One point i would like to mention here is that we Indians follow different systems of calculations as regards to the length of the year.
Solar Year - of 365.25 days ( Sam Vatsaram )
Lunar Year - 29*12 days ( Indha Vatsaram )
Stellar Year - 27*12 days ( Nakshatra Vatsaram )
Since the Ecliptic or the Zodiac is tenanted by 12 Signs of 30 degrees and 27 constellations or Nakshatras, one stellar or sidereal ( " pertaining to the stars ") month is 27 days and one Stellar Year is 12*27 = 324 days.This stellar month stems from Beta Arieties ( Aswini ) to Zeta Piscium ( Revathi ) and is of 27 days.
Hence if we calculate Sai's age, he was 96 when he left his body. He had lived 30, 834 days, from his birthdate from 23.11.1926 to 24.04.2011.30834/324 We get 95 years and 54 days and Sri Sai was in his 96th year !!!!.
