Shri Sai SatcharitraSai Satcharitra is like the Bhagavad-Gita, bible & Holy Q'ran thequint essence of the Upanishads. All the Bhaktas of Shri Shirdi SaiBaba referred in Shri Sai Satcharitra are like Spiritual Grandeursaround Sri Maha Vishnu. The Blessed author of Shri Sai Satcharitra(Hemadpant) is like Calf, The nectarine Sai Satcharitra is the Milkand The Pure minded are its Consumers. Just as the Calf drinks some Milk and the bulk consumed by others,Shri Sai Satcharitra benefits the entire humanity although it wasthe inspiration gained by the Blessed Author (Hemadpant). Shri SaiSatcharitra had been hailed as antidote to the worldly Bondage and a Manual for daily life.The Upanishads / Scriptures are tense and directive in nature whereas Shri Sai Satcharitra is communicative and so appeals even to thelayman who may be finding belief in the

Sadguru – Lord Shri Shirdi Sai Baba. Shri Sai Satcharitra explains the identity of the Self andthe ultimate reality.Baba Said...."I am dependent on Him, who thinks and hungers after Me and who doesnot eat anything without first offering to Me. He, who thus comes to Me, becomes one with Me, just as a river gets to the sea and becomesmerged with it."The significance of 'Shri Sai Satcharitra'This is the first and foremost book based on the life-story of Shri Sai Baba, which was originally composed in Marathi verse form.
