Foreword

By Dewan Bahadur K. Sundaram Chettiar, Retd. High Court Judge.

This book of my revered friend, Sri B.V. Narasimhaswami, would surely be an eye-opener to many a sceptic, blinded with a veil of materialism, and obsessed with a prejudice against the reality of anything which has not yet been stamped with the imprimature of Modern Science. Sri Sai Baba’s spiritual grandeur is disclosed in the thrilling account of His devotees’ experiences, which the learned author has gathered with assiduous care, and made available for the general public. The testimony of so many devotees relating to the wonderful miracles performed by the Great Sage and Maha Siddha Purusha, which are all matters of their personal knowledge, should serve to dispel ignorance and doubt, and infuse faith and devotion in the mind of any reader. A great spiritual Alchemist as he was, Sri Sai Baba was able to transmute the lower self of his devotees mixed with the dross of the baser desires and passions, into the effulgence of the dormant higher self, by a purifying process of refinement in His mysterious crucible. He was doubtless a compassionate healer of the body as well as the soul.

Need I say under what a deep debt of gratitude the author has laid the public, who have the good fortune of reading this book? Sri Sai Baba, as one of the Saviours of humanity, showered His Grace on all those who sought for His blessings, with faith and devotion, and such Grace will also be shed on any one who now seeks for it in the proper way, as the author assures us in this book.
