Scribblings of A Shirdi Sai Devotee By Suresh Chandra Gupta

 

Sri Suresh Chandra Gupta has brought out a book with above title. In

general books on Sai Baba describe life teachings and Sai Leelas. But

Guptaji stressed on various aspects of Sai Baba an dalso present day trends.

Any modern student of Saism may like the author's free and frank views on

present day trends in Sai Devotion.

 

During 1960's Sai Baba was not popular in Northern India. H.H.Narasimha

Swamiji brought Sai at the door steps of devotees who do not know Marathi

through his books, lectures and untiring tours. Perhaps Baba reserved the

Seva of Spreading Saicult in Delhi to Guptaji. As his efforts had backing

of Lord Sai Nath, the then President of India, Dr.Rajendra Prasad, Speaker

of Parliament Shri Anantha Shayam Iyengar, The Home Minister Shri B.N.Datar

and a host of Members of Parliment attended Sai Pooja on the ocassion of Sri

Rama Navami Festival on 25th March 1961. It was really Babas Grace,

otherwise an infant organisation could not mobililse top brass of the

country involving several security problems. After three experiences of Baba

he had developed firm faith in Shirdi Nath. Devotees may think over on the

views expressed by Guptaji in the book.

The entire book has been uploaded at www.saileelas.org.
