A Catholic Priest Meets Sai Baba

ln the course of his spiritual inquiry, a Catholic priest meets an enlightening and extraordinary being: Sathya Sai  Baba, a spiritual Master who lives in Puttaparthi, lndia. Like Jesus, Sai Baba performs miracles, materializes objects, heals the sick, and knows the past, present and future of everything that exists. Above all a transcendent peace and harmony flow from Him.

Who is Sai Baba? A saint, a magician, a demon, God in person? Don Marie Mazzoleni discovers how Sai Baba's teachings mirror those of Jesus Christ. Telling the story of his encounter with Sai Baba, and describing life in the ashram, he narrates the progress of his own spiritual search. His path begins with the need to detach himself from dogma and prejudice, and Ieads to the discovery of the fundamental unity of all religious creeds, a unity which transcends all cultural differences.

A Catholic Priest Meets Sai Baba testifies to the profound impact of Bhagavan Baba on Don Mario and his conviction about the Avataric mission of Baba.
