About the Book

This is a research-based book on the divine life, teachings, spirit messages, and contributions of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba (1838–1918), the renowned Sufi saint of India. It highlights his importance as the Jagat Guru (Universal Master) whose teachings and messages elevate all people spiritually and morally and unite them.

His main teachings are Allah (God) is one who is the sole master of all; the same atma (soul) is in every creature; everyone is linked to others according to one's past actions and Rinanubandh (bond of give and take), and so one must be kind, compassionate, and helpful to all those who come in this life.

He is now the supreme ascended master. He appears before people who earnestly remember him, in their dreams or in any other person's form to guide, inspire, save, and help them to solve their problems instantly.
