Volume Three

Volume Three Sathyam Sivam Sundaram – Volume Three continues the divine biography of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, covering the period roughly from 1968 through 1972 (or thereabouts), and presents a series of remarkable leelas (divine acts), public missions, and spiritual milestones. This volume opens with the inauguration of Dharmakshetra in Mumbai — a spiritual center that was built in an astonishing 108 days under Baba’s direction. That act exemplifies Baba’s capacity to manifest sacred structures rapidly, infused with purpose and devotion. The book also recounts public conferences and meetings, including a grand gathering in Mumbai attended by prominent figures like the then Deputy Prime Minister Sri Morarji Desai who addressed the assembly, testifying to the growing national presence of Baba’s mission. One of the most celebrated episodes in this volume is the miracle cure of Dr. K. M. Munshi from Parkinson’s disease, narrated by the doctor himself, showcasing Baba’s compassion and supreme power over disease and limitation. Also described is the Divine Tour of Africa, where Baba visited multiple countries, gave discourses, and extended his mission beyond India. Kasturi narrates the journey in vivid detail, taking the reader along on the roads, stations, and heart‑touching encounters with devotees in distant lands The volume further describes the founding of a women’s college in Anantapur (June 1966) to uplift women through education, as well as other acts such as the installation of the Shirdi idol at Guindy (Chennai) and the unveiling of a hidden jyotirlinga at Somnath temple to cure a strange malady affecting physicians in Dibrugarh. What makes Volume Three especially rich is the way Kasturi weaves together the miracles, public works, and spiritual teachings — he does not merely catalogue events, but reflects on their deeper meaning: how these leelas are pointers to the divine mission, reminders of human responsiveness to grace, and affirmations of Baba’s teaching that divinity and humanity are not separate. In one illustrative excerpt, Baba is recorded admonishing devotees: “You must have freedom not only from fear, but freedom from hope and expectation… Love My uncertainty! For it is not a mistake… Do not ask to understand; relinquish understanding.” That teaching links directly with many of the events in this volume, reinforcing that surrender, faith, and inner silence are foundational. Volume Three also speaks of how Sai Baba’s presence inspired institutions — educational, devotional, and service groups — and how devotees across continents became instruments for his mission. In summary, Volume Three is not just a chronicle of outward events, but a living narrative demonstrating how the unseen and seen are woven together in the life of a Divine Incarnation. It places readers in the midst of spiritual drama: of structures built, hearts turned, miracles seen, and souls awakened. For seekers, it offers not only inspiration but also the assurance that the Divine works through human devotion, constancy, humility, and surrender.
