Sai Ram. The author Shri Balkrishna Panday gathered under the covers of this beautifully printed book, 261 Leelas (Miracles) of Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi, Maharashtra, India. The Leelas are compiled mainly from Sri Sai Satcharitra, “Devotees’ Experiences – Vol. 1 to 3” by Pujya Sri B.V.Narasimha Swami Ji and the several issues of Sai Leela journal published by Shirdi Sai Sansthan. Sai Ram.

The book is useful to rekindle the Sraddha and Saburi in all Sai devotees. An example on Page 72:

Leela No. 112 – Doctor’s wavering faith restored by a challenge in the dream – The doctor at Malegaon, of the aforesaid episode, came to know of the miracle. He got dissuaded by doubts created by the unfaithful persons at Malegaon and Manmad. So he proceeded straight to Bombay (now Mumbai – reviewer) to spend leave at Alibag. He heard a voice in his sleep “Is there disbelief in me, even now?” This happened on three nights. He then resolved that if the typhoid patient, then under treatment with him, is relieved of the high temperature, then he would go to Shirdi the next day itself. The much-awaited miracle did happen as the patient’s temperature went down and his health improved.
The doctor prayed sincerely worshipping Baba’s feet. Baba gave him Udi and place his hand of benediction on his head. The doctor stayed at Shirdi for four days. On his return he was transferred to Vijapur (on promotion – the reviewer).

Sai Ram.The book is well printed and the editing is generally good though a few errors slipped through, though they are minor. Thus the book is a good addition to the already extensive literature on Sai. Sai Ram.

About the reviewer: I am a scientist, a metallurgist, working in a large organization of Government of India and I consider myself blessed for being a Sai devotee. Baba has shown many Leelas to me and is getting some seva performed in His own inimitable way. Sai Ram. This review as all others actions, is submitted at the Lotus Feet of Sadguru Sainath.
