Publisher's Synopsis
In his maiden book after retirement from hectic working life, the author narrates some of his surreal and bizarre experiences after he embraced the ideals of Shirdi Sai Baba in August 2004. Subsequently, he undertook occasional pilgrimages to Shirdi (Maharashtra) and became passionate about narrating a few anecdotes that relate to the divine incidents that originally occurred, involving Sai Baba's devotees, when he was physically alive. Regular recitation of selected verses from Shri Sai Charita, that have been transliterated into English from the original version in Marathi by Mrs. Indira Kher, and meticulously reproduced in this book, is spiritually uplifting and is bound to imbue the reader with redemptive power of love, peace and joy. In the last five decades there has been a burgeoning growth in the number of worshippers of Shirdi Sai Baba whose temples too have mushroomed in many parts of the world. The author, who was not highly spiritually inclined though, in his younger days, has had normal childhood, and belongs to a middle class family of five brothers and two sisters. He had plebeian social upbringing and did not have exceptional or extraordinary achievements to his credit, either in sports, education or any other field but has curiously enough over the years developed an intuitive understanding of the world around him. He had a formal education and after obtaining Diploma in journalism from a private institution in Delhi, had a stint in writing articles on subjects of topical interest in national newspapers and magazines for some time. He is married and has a daughter working in Kolkata and since his retirement from service, is leading active, social life in Hyderabad, India. The author can be contacted at [email protected]
