The author, a multi faceted erudite scholar, was an ardent devotee of Sri Sathya
Sai Baba and as was closely associated with Him for over four decades. He was
also a close witness to Baba's omniscience, omnipotence and omnipresence. Thus,
he was a veritable treasure house of reminiscences connected to the miraculous
life of the Avatar. When it was put to the author that his vast reserve of
reminiscences would be gratefully welcomed by many in a book form, which also
had the consent of Baba, the author brought out this autobiography. Narrating
how his life had been moulded by the Loving God, Kasturiji faithfully admits
how he was not an exception to human follies and errors. Late Kasturi's life
exemplifies Baba's saying, "A person is born to learn how not to be born
again". The book brings out how, on complete surrender to God Almighty, one's
life is taken care of by Him and also how one can develop an attitude of
detachment towards pain and pleasure, success and
disappointment in ever.

Each person has to live the volumes of biography, which we bring with us, page
after page, howsoever punctuated with dots and dashes, interrogations and
exclamations, commas and colons, until the sentence ends ultimately with a Full
Stop. The author says ‘Luckily I have as my inseparable consul, Bhagavan
Himself; He dots the I’s and crosses the t’s as I live the lines on every page.
He has made the Book of Life my biography – momentous and meaningful for me’.
This book contains a bunch of the author’s reminiscences, which may be welcomed
by many readers.
