    Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

    Sri Sathya Sai Baba was born as Sathyanarayana Raju on November 23rd, 1926 in the village of Puttaparthi, in the state of Andhra Pradesh in South India. Even as a child, His spiritual inclination and contemplative nature set Him apart from other children of His age, and He was known as 'Guru' and "Brahmajnani' among His peers and others in the village. On October 20th, 1940, He made the historic declaration of His Avatarhood and the world at large learnt of this divine phenomenon. Today, millions of devotees worship Him as an 'Avatar' and an incarnation of the Sai Baba of Shirdi.Revealing the purpose of His Advent, Sai Baba has said that He has come to re-establish the rhythm of righteousness in the world and repair the ancient highway to God, which over the years has systematically deteriorated.Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is an integral manifestation who combines two very significant roles. Firstly, He is a great spiritual Master, famed for His simple and sweet exposition of the greatest and most intricate of spiritual truths which form the fundamental teachings of all the religions of the world. His formula for man to lead a meaningful life is the five-fold path of Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi, Prema, and Ahimsa. Love for God, fear of sin and morality in society - these are His prescriptions for our ailing world.Secondly, He is an inexhaustible reservoir of pure love. His numerous service projects, be it free hospitals, free schools and colleges, free drinking water supply or free housing projects, all stand testimony to His selfless love and compassion for the needy and less privileged. True to His declaration - "My Life is My Message", He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of His devotees worldwide by His personal example to live the ideal that service to man is service to God.Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is a beacon of hope in the world. A devotee said, "Bhagawan Baba is nothing but Love walking on two feet."

      Preface

      ‘Sai Ram’ is my Soham. I have been persistently praying to ‘Sai’ to make my hands, also, occupied with some, more constructive work and the Divine Master has given me, in His infinite grace, the Directive through the great Dr. C. L. Gandhi. The effort is only a restructuring of Sri. N. Kasturi’s ‘Satyam, Sivam, Sundaram’ into a condensed form to make it easy for carrying as a constant companion and for clearer comprehension. Baba’s every word is a Mantra, every speech an Upanishad. His ways are unique, incomprehensible even by the greatest. His powers are limitless and to limit Him in this small booklet has become a very large task. But, as He Himself says, Being the tiniest among the tiny particles and being the biggest among the infinitely large things, Baba chose graciously to be contained in this. It is all His Love, His Grace.

      Sai Ram.
