Nilayam, on Tuesday, March 1, 2011, Bhagavan Baba blessed and released new
publications titled:

The Glorious Journey of Sri Sathya Sai Avatar
Part 1: 1926 – 1985
Part 2: 1986 - 2005
SRI SATHYA SAI DIGVIJAYAM
– AN OVERVIEW
These
books have culminated out of unprecedented efforts to record BhagavanÕs Life and
Journeys over the last 8 decades. A day by day record
has been documented from various authentic sources and literature available on
His Life, Mission and Message. This literature consists of over 20 books
including BhagavanÕs biography and other landmark documents on His life, as
also the 564 volumes of the Sanathana Sarathi magazine from 1958 to 2005.
The rigours of these books are that
of a research document which will be useful for posterity to know the various
milestones in His life and multifarious journeys. The Book elucidates how
Bhagavan has personally built this glorious edifice of the Sathya Sai Age. The
places He visited, the individuals He blessed, the institutions He established,
are all an eye opener of the Divine Master Plan. Each of these unfolds in the
pages of this unique compilation.
It is overwhelming to note that in
the last 8 decades Bhagavan has travelled over 3, 00,000 kms.
A year by year account of the approximate distance
travelled by Him has also been included in this Book. A detailed reference list
of more than 200 places visited by Bhagavan over the last 80 years has also
been provided as an annexure.
The books contain an incredible
collection of nearly 350 rare photographs of Bhagavan, collected from different
parts of India and the world, from the years 1938 to 2005. Each of these has
been grouped in a chronological manner through a total of 36 photo collages
covering 80 years of the Avataric sojourn, a rare treat for the readers. There
are special collages on Divine visits to Africa, Kashmir, Ooty and Kodaikanal. The
cover pages of each of the volumes symbolise the various journeys Bhagavan has
undertaken over the years. The back cover pages of each of the 2 volumes depict
the major institutions established by Him during the given period.
As a humble offering on the
occasion of BhagavanÕs 85th Birthday, this first of its kind compilation has
been prepared by the Chaitanya Jyoti Museum through an ongoing effort of over 6
years (2004-2010). The students of the Sri Sathya Sai University have played a
very important and vital role in the designing, formatting, proof reading and
the creative facets of the books.
The books provide an ideal reading for all – students and
spiritual seekers; researchers and professionals; administrators and
academicians; doctors and devotees of Bhagavan.
The entire set containing over 600
pages of reading material and 350 rare photographs has been reasonably priced
at INR 400/=.
