Aura of the Divine

by Sri Sathya Sai Baba

…Timeless beliefs in mysticism and metaphysics need to be refreshed with direct experiences of Truth from time to time, lest they remain pedagogic axioms. When an Avatar arrives for re-establishment of Sathya and Dharma in the world, it is but natural that scholastic studies are made of His teachings to ratify the traditional theories about genesis, cosmic laws, human life, spiritual practices, etc.

The author of this book makes a valuable attempt to compile passages from the divine discourses of Bhagawan, which allude or explain the theological and philosophical legacies of Vedic tradition. This book will be found extremely useful by scholars for their understanding of the cosmic concepts, spiritual intricacies and divine doctrines in authentic words of the Avatar.
