Sai Baba of Shirdi
a
Unique Saint
By - M.V. Kamath & V.B. Kher
A unique Saint Sai Baba of Shirdi is a Phenomenon. In all of India's
history, there has never been another like him. He is not a conventional
saint. He wrote no critique of the Bhagvad Gita or the Upanishads or
any other holy work. He made no pretensions to scholarship yet he had a
profound insight into both Hindu and Islamic scriptures. He founded no
ashram or peetham, wrote no tome, initiated no disciple to take over
from him. He performed 'miracles' but in no manner of means to impress
anyone, devotee or otherwise. Sai Baba in every way remains unique. Born
about 20 years before the 'Sepoy' mutiny in the 19th century in
Marathwada, the home of medieval saints of Maharashtra, he came in his
late 20's to Shirdi, an insignificant hamlet in Ahmednagar district and
spent the remaining 50 years of his life there until his mahasamadhi.
Today Shirdi is a center of pilgrimage for lakhs of Sai Baba's devotees.
This book is a complete account of his life and mission.
