Best Book on Sathya Sai Baba | Unbelievable Coincidences | Sathya Sai Baba Miracles

"Which is the best book to read on Sri Sathya Sai Baba?" This is a common question at the Book Store whether one is a long-standing devotee of Baba, a curious newcomer or a thoughtful person thinking of gifting a friend. Should it be a book authored by Baba? Or a book of His leelas and mahimas? How about the Sathya Sai Speaks which is a compilation of all the discourses Swami delivered?
Here is a story - 3 stories actually - that give us a clear idea on the best book ever on Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

[@saistudent]

The monk about whom it is mentioned in the satsangh is Swami Abhedananda. The story finds a place in Sathyam Shivam Sundaram Part 2 as follows. There are many instances when Baba has appeared and applied the Vibhuthi on the forehead of the sleeping or unconscious patient and the dot is seen on awakening. Or, as Swami Abhedananda (aged 75) writes, the appearance may be to convey a message. "In the early hours of the 28th December, about 4 a.m, while I was still in bed brooding over the melancholy and disturbed state of my affairs, I felt a sudden blow on my head, strong but bearable. I got up and switched the lights on. To my surprise, I observed a shining form of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi which changed into Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba - appearing separately for some time and then merging together into a dazzling column of light which lasted but a few seconds. I felt I had the vision of both my benevolent Gurus! While in this happy state of mind, I heard a voice (which was then strange to me but which I later verified as the authentic voice of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba) which spoke to me in Telugu: "Do not get agitated; do not meditate! Merely watch the mind; that will make it disappear. Watch! And know that He who watches is pure awareness. Abstract and absolute Awareness is Self, Sath-chit-anand. That Thou Art. This is the Peace that knows no second condition. This is what you are ardently seeking. Be firm. Bliss is Thyself; you know it through intuition. The blow I gave you was to reveal this secret: Watch!" I started following the instructions, from that moment onwards. Bhagavan is a 'living presence'.

Swami had touched and rubbed a part of my father's head while he was sitting in the darshan line with my grandfather and uncle, back in the 1980s. A couple of years later, he received a terrible (almost fatal) blow on exactly the same part of the head while batting for his school in a cricket match. And as you can guess, he is still alive. 🙂😃

[@ogunyemilanre3786]

Beautiful message @Aravind! Thanks for all you do. Swami came to my life through a book as well. My elder brother borrowed the book - The embodiment of Love by Peggy Mason & Ron Laing, from our University in Nigeria . I read the book and I was hooked ! It was an eureka moment, I knew without doubt that I had found it !!! Truly as Lahiri Mahasaya said “ Man’s capacity to get into trouble is limitless but Divine succor is no less resourceful “ The Divine Father has infinite ways of reaching us. Sai Ram.

Thank you dear bangaru tandri. Yesterday I had been to Sri Jit Uncle’s house. Amma asked me to use their library. Many years ago I read Satyaw Sivam Sundaram after that I didn’t read at all. As a beginner I was a bit confused to pick which book to start with my spiritual journey with Sai. I picked up Sathya Sai speaks volumes X I never been to Parhti before , with Swamy’s permission would like to visit during this Summer ( Aug). Thank you very much for all your videos. Though I didn’t meet you before I always feel I know Brother sai Anoj and you from ages. Stay blessed Regards Mani Sudha

[@saistudent]

That's what a connection based on love for Swami does. 🙏 You have not been to Parthi before but evidently, Parthi is already in you. Sairam

[@manisatyawada8488]

Sairam dear brother Thank you very much for your kind words. I have learnt a lot about Swamy through your Satya to Sai Series. If possible would like to meet you in person when I visit Swamy at Parthi. Hope your daughter is doing well. Once again thank you for taking time to read and reply to my message. Regards Mani

[@billi16]

I know a very devoted Sai Devotee who was accused of a crime which he didnt commit. A FIR was opened. He was devastated but when the FIR was later found to be reduced to ashes in the file with all other papers were not burnt. The devotee eventually won the case despite all the hardship he faced.

[@nivs1611]

Thank you Brother. My transformation came through Sathyam Sivam Sundaram 1-4, Ebooks. And after intensely yearning for the hardback book set for 3 years, it finally reached my hands two days ago...immense Grace of our Swami 🙏 Sairam.

Sai Baby Aravind,again you paint a smile on my face from ear to ear and for so many hours. No fear and no worries so we can witness God instead of monkey mind. I love all of your reminders as your new teachings. All of us ask so many times: WHY.? And now at last you brought us the answer: SAI! Endless lessons in this satsangh. Love is blind for faults but why do we start seeing them after a while? I wish Swami to rain yearning for Him all over you,Aravind.

I have not read a single book of Swami fully. I just randomly open any of his literature and start reading from anywhere and I have felt that a message just for me is there.

Well said Aravind! Your videos are amazing and always carry Swami’s message. We are all blessed to have books written by Swami and devotees / students and many of these are available in audio books as well; therefore one can listen while he / she is commuting or driving or just wants to give the eyes some break. Ultimately, as you said practicing some of the teachings in the book is important. I remember one time you shared your dream about the Sathya Sai Archives and how Swami was eating the content of the books / media files. Storage for posterity is important but that point in your dream was even more important. SaiRam 🙏

[@abc10897]

Sairam Anna Wonderful😍✨ Learnt a lot The first book which i read of Swami is Rama Katha Rasa Vahini by listening to the afternoon satsang after ur recommendation This became an addiction for me The way Rama and HIS family lived was amazing Ur interpretation through afternoon satsang was indeed useful Then my favourite book urs🙂 Ur books are very inspiring and motivating to connect with Swami and pine for HIM Thank you so much for this satsang I will take it as a indication from Swami to start reading dhyana Vahini Let our yearning for Swami grow stronger and stronger every passing moment so that we can one day earn HIM 😇🙏
