Back Cover

 

Why should people love Sai Baba? What does he mean to people? Can Christians,

Jews, Muslims, and Hindus all love this man? Howard Murphet has spent years

with Sai Baba and has written a number of books about him. This volume is a

wonderful introduction and talks about having a relationship with such a person

as Sai Baba, power over nature, psychic and divine healing, using Sai forms and

Sai teachings, working with meditation, Sai Baba and Christ, Sai Baba and

Islam, Sai Baba and Buddhism, looking at theosophy, and the divine mystery.

Murphet explains the essence of vedanta as well as the fundamentals of

theosophy, so that modern readers can understand this magnetic person in our

midst—who reaches out from India to places all over the world—and to people all

over the world from every walk of life.

This is the third book on Sathya Sai Baba by the author of Man of Miracles and

Avatar. Howard Murphet concentrates on Swami's teachings, especially the path

of sathya, dharma, shanthi, prema (truth, right action, peace and love) and

their relation to the teachings of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism,

Sikhism, and Zoroastrianism. There are stimulating stories regarding Swami's

appearances in diverse forms, his power over nature, and his divine healings.

There are appendices on vedanta (philosophies based on the Vedas), theosophy

(religion based on Hinduism and Buddhism) and perennial philosophy (belief in

an eternal divine Principle).
