The Immortal Fakir of Shirdi

by Dr. S.P. Ruhela

This book is a compilation of the thrilling and most enlightening memoirs of those keen observers- ardent devotees and inquisitive visitors, who were fortunate enough to meet the great Fakir Sai Baba, the great spiritual saint of Shirdi during his life time as Avatar till he achieved Mahasamadhi in 1918 at the age of 80.They have left behind for the posterity their first hand memories of Sai Baba's charismatic divine personality and his invaluable teachings for the humanity as also miracles done by him to alleviate the sufferings of his devotees and encourage and help them to tread the path of morality and spirituality.

Most of these testimonies were collected by revered Sri Narasimha Swamiji during mid-1930 meeting and personally interviewing Baba's contemporary devotees and visitors during his life time. This book is most lovingly dedicated to the Lotus feet of Fakir Shirdi Sai Baba and the memory of all those blessed souls whose immortal memoirs have been incorporated in this book.
