"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”
Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalLife is like an educational institution where the nuances of living in peace and tolerance are self-taught. The events in our lives are pre-destined and without exception each individual has to face the highs and lows of life. This is a continuous process in which none are to be blamed, in particular God. In reality it is our Karma that pushes up or pulls us down. ”The will of God will never take you where the grace of god will not protect you.”
Sunanda Ananth, the author, found herself posed with questions quite often by her friends and other Sai devotees – Why is it that we suffer despite being pious? What wrong have we done? Why does not God come to our rescue, and so on and so forth? Pondering over these questions, her quest for the answers began.
At this juncture, a spiritually-acclaimed person came into her life to guide her in her quest. Popularly known as Udi Baba alias the Late Sri Manickam, he mentored Sunanda towards deep spirituality and contributed significantly to her progress in this path.
Sunanda had always been a motivational speaker and during her interactive sessions she came to understand that for many devotees, devotion was superfluous and need-based. Through her personal interaction she strives to make Sai devotees realise that unwavering faith and unconditional surrender are the foundations to spirituality. We only need to cleanse our minds to realise the presence of Sai within us.
Taking her inspiration and guidance from the sacred text Shri Sai Satcharita and other related and trusted writings on the life and leelas of Sai Baba, the author seeks to empower Sai devotees with the contents of this book. This book has been conceived with a new approach where a review after each chapter attempts to answer some of the queries likely to arise to the reader.
Sunanda Ananth
15th December, 2015, was a turning point in the life of Sunanda Ananth, the author of this book. While she was attending to her routine domestic chores, she heard a voice addressing her and asking her to pen a book based on Shri Sai Satcharita, the life and teachings of Shirdi Sai Baba. Sunanda had been a Sai devotee for the past twenty years and has personally witnessed the many miracles of Sai in her life. She could hardly imagine herself in the capacity of authoring a book. But she believed that if Sai Baba had triggered this thought in her mind, then he would do the writing too using her as a medium. She surrendered the project at his lotus feet for guidance and immediately felt all apprehensions vanishing and thus began her literary journey.
