Book Description

Dr. Bhatia's devotion to God illuminates the pages of this spiritual

autobiography. As head of the blood bank at Sathya Sai Baba's Super Specialty

Hospital, he has had frequent conversations and experiences that bring Sai

Baba's love and grandeur to the reader as few other books have done. Dr. Bhatia

has witnessed many breathtaking divine cures of disease which he knew, as a

talented physician, lay far beyond the knowledge and skill of the medical

profession. What inspires the reader is the author's love of his great master

and his sincere understanding of the bhakthi path of love and service to

mankind.

Back Cover (American Edition)

Discerning seekers of the spiritual dimension will find much in this

autobiography, punctuated with wondrous joy-giving miracles, to help them on

the great journey.

The author, Dr. Naresh Bhatia, is a member of the Sathya Sai Baba Super

Speciality Hospital in Prasanthi Nilayam. He has witnessed many breathtaking

divine cures of disease which he knew as a talented physician, lay far beyond

the knowledge and skill of the medical profession. As one who has witnessed and

written about a great many of the Sai miracles, I find that I appreciate most of

all what I call the medical miracles. Knowing the author as a man of absolute

integrity and realizing his advantageous position for observing and judging

healing miracles, I found them authentic and impressive. More importantly, what

inspires the reader is the author's love of his great master and his sincere

understanding of the Bhakthi path of love and service to mankind.
