Before you is a book about the life and philosophy of the great Indian mystic and miracle worker Sathya Sai Baba. He was a spiritual mentor, philosopher, public figure and the most significant miracle worker of our time. Sai Baba preached the unity of all religions, taught meditation practices, and his blessings healed and changed people's lives. For me, Sathya Sai Baba is a divine teacher who helped at all levels of human existence, from the highest spiritual realizations to the most everyday problems related to health, family life, and creativity. All issues that were important to people were also important to him.

This book is a collation of Sathya Sai Baba discourses given over a period of approximately 60 years. While each subject reads as one discourse, each is a compilation of quotes from many discourses. The result of this work of devotion is two books, which are titled, "In the Light of Truth." Sathya Sai Baba is accepted by millions around the world as a revered humanitarian and spiritual leader. He is also a masterful orator, and this book, In The Light of Truth, presents a selection of His discourses on various subjects. It is a unique experience to listen to a discourse given by Sathya Sai Baba. He speaks to the heart and mind and the message we hear holds a personal message according to the measure of our awareness of Divinity. He teaches that all are Divine, all are one, there is no two; and His discourses reflect the essence of this message. But the transformation to a state of oneness is an evolving process through the many experiences, doctrines, ideologies and teachings of duality. While Sai Baba says, "truth is only one, not two" he goes on to explain that man is a creature of Divine creation, evolving spiritually through an experience of duality and must, therefore, use the creation of duality as a tool to recognize his innate nature, which is Divine. His discourses transform the mind of man in a subtle and often subconscious way. "God is the doer," he continually reiterates and so man will evolve his spirituality according to the will of God, and not the will of man. Use this book according to your own needs and as a means to remember you are Divine, you are the truth, you are one with humanity, nature and the universe. There is no exclusivity or specialness, except in one's perception and interpretation of the truth. In this volume you will find the topics: Health, Human Values, Karma, Love, Money, Religion, Science & Spirituality, Service, Spirituality, Women
This is a loving and heartfelt story about how two ardent devotees of Sri Sathya Sai Baba came together. Rita and Robert Daniele were both living a life of loving service at the Sri Sathya Sai Baba Book Center of America when Sai Baba surprisingly arranged their marriage in 1977 with the assistance of Mrs. Elsie Cowan, who played match maker. Sai Baba lovingly referred to Rita as, ¿Cowan¿s adopted daughter¿ and Robert as, ¿Cowan¿s son-in-law.¿ This is a truly remarkable account about two ordinary individuals, who through their own personal journeys and resulting transformation learned to live an extraordinary life -- a life ¿Together in God¿. This is a story about how the couple turned to God in prayer, for everything in life, both large and small, and their choice to put God first in all their decisions. With this book as the example, the authors illustrate how Sai Baba personally transforms each and every one of us. It is a compilation of thought provoking experiences and life changing events, that resulted in transforming their thinking about God. It is a very personal story of a lifetime of practice, in learning how to think of God by remembering the Presence of God -- no matter what. Rita tells of their testimony to trust in God, who always answered their prayers. It is a heart-warming account of their willingness to follow His Divine Directives, with love, faith and devotion.
Bhagawan has announced Himself as the Divine Teacher of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. By precept and example, through His writings and discourses, letters and conversations, He has been instilling the supreme wisdom and instructing all mankind to translate it into righteous living, inner peace, and universal love. When the Ramakatha Rasavahini, the uniquely authentic, nectarine stream of the Rama’s story, was serialised in full in the Sanathana Sarathi, Bhagawan blessed readers with a new series, which He named Bharatiya Paramartha Vahini (The Stream of Indian Spiritual Values). While these precious essays, on the basic truths that foster and feed Indian culture since ages before history began, were being published, Bhagawan decided to continue the flow of illumination and instruction under a more comprehensive and meaningful name, Sathya Sai Vahini - the Ganga from the Lotus Feet of the Lord - “The Flow of Divine Sai Grace”. This book, therefore, contains the two Vahinis that have merged in one master stream. Inaugurating these series, Bhagawan wrote for publication in the Sanathana Sarathi, “Moved by the urge to cool the heat of conflict and to quench the agonising thirst for ‘knowledge about yourself’ that you are afflicted with, see, here it comes, the Sathya Sai Vahini, wave behind wave, with the Sanathana Sarathi as the medium between you and Me.” With infinite compassion, this Sathya Sai incarnation of the Omniwill is giving millions of persons in all lands freedom from disease, distress, and despair, narcotics, narcissism, and nihilism. He is encouraging those, who suffer gloom through wilful blindness, to light the Lamp of Love in order to see the world and the Lamp of Wisdom to see themselves. “This is a tantalising, true-false world. Its apparent diversity is an illusion. It is One, but is cognised by the maimed, multiple vision of humans as Many,” says Bhagawan. This book is the twin Lamp He has devised for us.
