Описание: This book is an informative sequel to the same authors Sai Baba of Shirdi: A Biographical Investigation. The inter-religious dimensions of Sai Baba are again emphasised. His identity as an independent faqir is outlined. In nearly forty chapters, many aspects of Sai Babas life are probed. His contact with Hindu and Muslim devotees achieves further profile. There are details about such factors as his begging rounds, his avoidance of initiation, his complex temperament that is often misrepresented, and his affinity with bhakti. Features included are the Notebook of Abdul Baba, the Shri Sai Satcharita of Govind Dabholkar, the Shirdi Diary of Ganesh Khaparde, and the 1920s memoir of Hari Dixit. In relation to a major controversy, Kevin Shepherd also offers a critical assessment of the Sufism theory conceived by the late Dr. Marianne Warren. Also covered are saintly entities with whom Sai Baba had diverse contact, namely Bane Miyan of Aurangabad, Gadge Maharaj, Meher Baba, and Upasani Maharaj.

Описание: This book provides an assessment of Shirdi Sai Baba, taking into account both the Muslim Sufi and Hindu components of his biography. The author has integrated the available materials without neglecting some frequently overlooked details and supporting data. Many people look at Shirdi Sai Baba as a unifying force between Hindus and Muslims, while others see him as representing only one religious identity. This book covers these points in great detail. In eighty chapters, the sources are analysed to portray diverse events of the saints life, and to profile many of his devotees. Employing the accounts of Dabholkar, Narasimhaswami, and other key commentators, the treatment investigates numerous obscure situations, besides other more well known occurrences. The author maintains that, despite some hagiology appearing in the sources, there is sufficient evidence for realistic biographical dimensions, more especially during the last ten years of the saints life, when a large number of visitors arrived at Shirdi. Shirdi Sai Baba (d.1918) is one of the most important latter day Indian saints. He lived an ascetic existence as a faqir in a rural mosque. He is distinctive for a universalist attitude, bypassing religious dogma. The teachings of Sai Baba employed allusion and parable, and are not typical of the traditions associated with him. Some complexities of this matter are addressed in a separate chapter. The book is annotated and fully indexed.
