How reliable are the stories and miracles described in the Shri Sai Satcharita?

The source material suggests a high degree of reliability for the stories within the Shri Sai Satcharita. Chapter 0 explains that many of the stories and Leelas were events that the author, Shri Annasaheb, witnessed with his own eyes. For the events he did not see himself, the information came directly from devotees who had the experiences, either in person or in dreams. They communicated these events to Annasaheb, and many of those devotees were still alive at the time of writing, lending credibility to the accounts. Annasaheb's role was to dress these experiences in a graceful and poetic garment.
