Sri Satchitananda Sai

Begin the bookContents

When Sri Satchitananda Sai was still a student at the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Puttaparthi, by the grace of his Guru, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, he produced an epochal commentary on the Bhagavad Gītā. He remains one of the youngest saints who have accomplished this feat. Immersed in the nectarous melody of the Song of God, Sri Satchitananda Sai has continued to expound upon its precious revelations throughout the decades. The following discourses, therefore, are born and bred from a most divine grounds – a heart perfectly in tune with the Guru, with Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself.
