GOD IN OUR MIDST – POORNAVATARA SAI – Review by Ron Nater
The writer of God In Our Midst, Dr. Hiramalini Seshadri, explains in
the opening of her book that she is only the pen, and the real
writer is Sathya Sai Baba. In which case Sai Baba has a wonderfully
light and very easy-to-follow writing style, which invites the
reader to read on and on effortlessly. The book starts with a
scientific but light-hearted kind of study of who we are, why we are
here and why God created us. The story of Sathya Sai Baba unfolds
through the quoting of many prophesies, from many different sources,
which foretold Sai Baba's incarnation. Dr. Seshadri then continues
to tell us about Sai Baba's birth and growing up as a small child,
while he was surrounded by and performed many unbelievable acts and
miracles for his friends. The open and easy-going narration of
Shirdi Sai Baba's life and the many experiences with Sai Baba, as
quoted from books written by many devotees, leaves the reader with a
very playful and open attitude towards God and life. Sai Baba's
human sides, Sai Baba and the world religions and Sai Baba's mission
are beautifully clarified, and the book finishes with a description
of Prashanti Nilayam, Sai Baba's home for everyone, and of the times
to come. A wonderful, very complete, joyful and jovial little gem
about the life and times of Sri Sathya Sai Baba!
