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.
