Sathya Sai Baba and the Gavaskars

Yesterday, on the occasion of Mahashivrathri, a grand celebration took

place at Sathya Puttaparthi ashram near Bangalore with the release of a book

which talks about Sunil Gavaskar’s faith in Sathya Sai Baba, reports

Hemal Ashar. The book is called, ‘Blossoms — In the Eternal

Spring’ and is written by Shammi Paranjape, Gavaskar’s

sister-in-law. Mumbai-based author Shammi, who is a freelance journalist,

says, “The book is the culmination of four years of work. I think the

spiritual discovery is the destiny of the human soul. The earlier it comes, the

better it is. While the Rs 195 book, published by Rupa, has Sathya Sai

Baba’s teachings and messages couched in every chapter, it also talks

about the Gavaskars’ faith in Sathya Sai Baba. “We do go to the

ashram as a family,” says Shammi. “Sunil, my sister Pammi and I

have visited the ashram together.” The author finishes, “The book

is not meant as a last word. In fact, it is a trigger to arouse curiousity

about Baba’s teachings and learn more about him.” Though the

book cites an example of how Sunil Gavaskar got cured by Sathya Sai

Baba’s Vibhuti (ash), Shammi warns, “The miracles are not the most

important part of the book. His knowledge is the most important.”
