There have been, in the past, many books on Shri Sai Baba, but this volume is distinguished for the stress on authenticity. Every chapter speaks for the incisive approach adopted by the author who has made a study of Shri Sai Baba a lifetime mission. All aspects of Shri Sai Baba's life and work are inquired into, as also the nature of his functions and powers. Sai Baba was a unique and rare blend of all faiths; for him there were no barriers of religion, sect, race, sex, caste, creed, language and nationality. What is remarkable is that Sai Baba founded no new sect of his own nor did he establish any seat or peeth, nor leave any spiritual heir.

"Frankly, it is a monumental study in patience, hard work, and total devotion to the subject on hand. This book is a testimony to Shri Kher's pursuit of Truth. It invites – and surely deserves – Sai Baba's blessings" - from the Foreword
