SANDEHA NIVARANI & PRASNOTTARA VAHINI (COMBINED BOOK IN TAMIL)

SANDEHA NIVARANI IN TAMIL

-written by Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

An enlightening question and answer series. In this book, the reader finds Sai assuming the role of the sincere aspirant asking the questions, and the same Sai, as the guru, patiently giving the answers. Baba provides the direction that unveils spiritual truth and removes the mist that hides the aspirant’s vision. Among the topics addressed by Swami are: faith, the guru, the Vedas, peace of mind, spiritual instruction, the name of the Lord, true learning, fault finding, the desire for God, effort and prayer, samadhi (total bliss), surmounting obstacles, the nature of the Atma (the real inner reality), the Gita and the Ramayana.

PRASNOTTARA VAHINI IN TAMIL

Swami utilizes a “question and answer” format for this short book, which was formerly an appendix to the Geetha Vahini. Prof. Kasturi, the translator of many of Swami’s writings and discourses, states that this book “…seeks to elucidate the fundamental concepts and precepts of religion, especially the technical words and expressions that seek to concretize them.” Subjects include: the body and the senses, the four stages of life, liberation and karma, education and devotion, obstacles to liberation, spiritual wisdom and mind control (yoga), the scriptures, mantra (sacred words) and repetition of God’s name, and ascetic practices.
