Back Cover

 

This book is a spiritual journey of the author to the Lotus feet of this

magnificent being, Sathya Sai Baba, who is quietly revered by some, in almost

every country of the world, as the Avatar and World Teacher of the Age. The

narrative is made up of the wonderful people and events that have crossed and

directed the author's life. Each chapter is a snapshot of an encounter that has

helped him, finally, to find and accept Sai Baba as a Divine Incarnation and to

appreciate His Message of Love.

 

Sathya Sai Baba is believed to have duplicated all the miracles of Jesus Christ

including multiplication of food, healing the sick, and even raising people

from death. Like Shirdi Sai Baba of the nineteenth century, He urges Hid

devotees to choose a form of the divine like Jesus, Krishna, Buddha or the

Formless, Unknown God and to steadfastly walk that path in faith, patience and

surrender in order to raise their consciousness and the spiritual consciousness

of all mankind.

 

Charles (Chuck) P. DiFazio lives with his wife, Patty, in Connecticut. Born

Roman Catholics, they have always been spiritual seekers, searching for the

answers to the meaning of life and death and man's relationship to divinity. In

1983, they learned of Sathya Sai Baba and became aspiring devotees of His

message of Love and Truth. This devotion has brought them to India four times

for the darshans and grace of the Sai Avatar.
