. Ever since he oriented towards saints and their lives. He personally met many true saints(called Avadhutas) and told about them to normal people who can not recognise them. He is well prepared for ascetic life, but forced to get married by few avadhutas, who assured him of his spiritual endeavours even after the marriage. He put great efforts in works, in preparing life history of Shirdi Sai Baba and various other valuable spiritual books. With the good support of wife Smt. Alivelumanga, he restlessly woked to preach people about Baba and what actually want people to do. He attained samadhi in 1989.
is given by saints. Spirituality preaching quality (tatwa) of god came as Dattatreya and can be seen in all religions(with different names). One must reside to Guru
, as seen in the lives of Rama
and Krishna
who themselves had gurus. A true Guru
is a poorna jnani, as Krishna
said in Bhagavad gita, a Sadguru is very very rare to find. The most secure way to find them is by doing parayana of great saints life histories(Guru Charithra-life of Sri Guru Dattatreya
is the best). Sai Baba
is a Sadguru and the greatest of all saints in 9 religions. He is the best solution for all the present day situations and is the answer for all questions. One must read the prescribed books and understand him and his way. Try to correctly interpret the great people, for ex. Jiddu Krishnamurthy is great in ideas, he asks us to think ourselvels and absolutely should not depend others. But giving that idea he himself is preaching i.e. becomes a guru for the movement. A right understanding of great people is a must to do approach.
The paramount thing to do is to read life histories of Saints. Saints are ultimate and all. All religions are given by them. Do parayana of Sai baba's life history, as Baba clearly says that is enough to reach him.
All we need to do is live the life, towards him. We need not go away from materialist world into forests. The way is easy and unique as Baba says to a devotee.
