Murphet Does an Excellent Job
This is an excellent book to read if you have never heard of Sai Baba. Murphet does an excellent job of explaining just who Sai Baba is as a spiritual mentor. Murphet describes many 'miracles' which just cannot be faked. There are also several very good pictures of Baba in this book. I have read many books about Sai Baba and it is clear that Sai Baba has a talent for choosing those to write about him. The books are always heartwarming and present the paradoxes one deals with in relating to such a highly evolved being. I have had many positive experiences with Baba in dreams, meditation and real life. He is truly an inspiration. As with anything, you MUST experience it yourself in order to know. Don't just let other people tell you who Sai Baba is, experience his divinity in your own life.

Would have given 5 stars to this book yesterday!
I was educated in a high school founded by some of Sathya Sai Baba's followers in India. I can say the school, people who founded it and the education I got there were all excellent. I feel fortunate to have attended this school!

But, me and my family never believed in Sai Baba as God or Avatar. We always thought of him as a fraud and scam artist.

His devotees were excellent people and served others with love. They tried to follow many of his teachings in their lives and to worked to propogated good values etc. Especially, his message of universal truth in all religions.

After almost fifteen years I stumbled upon this book and couple of other books on him. These were written by initially skeptic people who started believing in Sai Baba after some personal experiences. I bought and read them eagerly as I was trying to see what I would feel now after all these years. For three days all I did was read these books. I was so curious and excited, I almost wanted to believe everything I read.

This feeling did not last long as I found some very interesting sources on Web giving a different account or explanation of some of the miracles and events described in the book.

If you are curious and want to know about Baba please not only read this book but also the other sources to get a complete picture and then judge for your self.

Good Luck with your journey!!

I gave three stars to this book for excellent description of Sai Baba from a devotee's point of view.

an excellent book.
The book is an excellent book for all kinds of people i.e those who beleive in baba and for those dont beleive in baba and are wanting to know more about baba.It is a good summary and compilation of the miracles and the life of shri satya sai baba.All information is given about Sai baba,right from his birth to his performing miracles which are beyond the understading of science.The book is very well written and that too in very simple language which can even be understood by children.

What are some of the powers of the Avatar?
You are not currently a follower of Shri Sathya Sai Baba, but what you heard from others was enough to arouse your curiosity such that you are now considering to read a book about the so-called God-Man or Avatar, Shri Sathya Sai Baba. If you are in this situation, this book is perfect for you. You will have the opportunity to know what is so special in this Man, which millions of people consider as God.

Sai Baba claims that he is omnipresent (i.e. present everywhere at the same time, all the time), omniscient (knows everything which happens in this world and beyond, past, present and future) and omnipotent(capable of doing anything; things happen at his will). He claims that he is God. Is He an arrogant fellow who is extraordinarily intelligent and has managed to fool and take advantage of all his followers, or is He the Creator, God Himself?

You will be able to answer this question when you have finished reading the book. Note: This book definitely does not describe Shri Sathya Sai Baba completely. It just gives an account of his miracles, which He Himself claims are mere "visiting cards", and they do not form a major part of his mission.
