Divine Memories of Sathya Sai Baba

By Diana BaskinBirth Day Pub Co; (March 1990)296 pagesISBN: 1878599003

 

This is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the daily world of Sathya Sai Baba

as told by an American woman whose family members were blessed to live as

permanent residents in the ashram for over 20 years. It is a book of remarkable

detail and panoramas of life at the Swami's lotus feet. As in few other books,

the reader is given vivid insights into Swami's personality as well as his

teachings. The author generously shares the details of her personal hardships

as well as the extraordinary grace shown to her and her family by Swami. The

pages are filled with insights, surprises, and countless beautiful memories of

Swami. Seldom are the joys of the path of devotion so vividly revealed. Many

photos of Swami with family members.

In January of 1968, Mrs. Rajagopal, Diana's mother told me about a man so wise

and almighty that one's life became deep and meaningful in his presence. This

so intrigued me that within a week my wife and I were in India and in the

presence of Sathya Sai Baba.

Now, some 22 years later and after time spent with him each year, I can only say

that his wisdom, the abundance and breadth of his love for all beings, and his

seemingly limitless power so vastly transcends my worldly experience that to me

and to a multitude of people Sathya Sai Baba is beyond human comprehension. In

the ancient tradition of India they have a word for it: "Avatar", meaning a

direct expression of Divine Grace.

Diana tells a superb story about day-to-day life in Sathya Sai Baba's household

and those people who were close around him. No other western person has been

privileged to have such a priceless experience. Diana's story is matchless and

will fascinate readers for years to come - for centuries to come - in my humble

opinion.

Sai Ram

I got hold of it only last week and seeing your response I must now sit down

and read it!!

 

I am glad to have joined a group like this--------I feel it is much better

than a chat-room.

 

This is Swami's blessing to us all.
