Description
This book is a splendid biography of the Master, fondly called "Tathi Bab" , one of the most eminent saints who ever graced India and the world, a curious blend of knowledge, devotion and action.
The book is dedicated to the devotees of Bhagavaan Ji, who are engaged in Sadhana for their own spiritual uplift and Seva for the welfare of the mankind, Who are pious of heart and pure of mind and Who possess the qualities of sezar, Pazar and Shozar.
The portrait of the preceptor should be the centre of our meditation. The lotus feet of the preceptor should be the object of our worship. Whatever words of wisdom come out of the mouth of the preceptor should be taken as the roots of the true knowledge and his grace should be regarded as the key to emancipation.
