CB Satpathy

CB Satpathy revered as Guruji by Sai devotees, was in Bhubaneshwar recently - as part of a book release ceremony (Bhagabata Part III), authored by him. I was fortunate enough rather blessed to be part of that meeting and had a chance to hear him speak after a long time. His sublime words touched the innermost chords of ones heart and made most of the audience, calm down and ruminate on the nature of soul and life till the end of the meeting and for sometime even after that - which I am sure of. Although high on the spiritual ladder he has that quintessential quality of connecting with the uninitiated at the mundane level and making him understand the most profoundest of metaphysical and occult subjects in a very matter of fact manner. My thoughts go back to 2002 when I had personally met him for the first time in Delhi. His bearing and aura makes a tremendous impact on the each and every one who has met him even for a moment, taking most of them off at a tangent - in restructuring/changing their entire course of  life forever towards the better. I very clearly remember the last words with which he ended the meeting - "every single one of us get a divine inspiration at some point in our life but we are unable to recognize and catch hold of it." I got hold of the book "Shirdi Sai Baba and other Perfect Masters" authored by him and have since compled reading the book. It is an excellent book - partly autobiographical, in that it traces the spiritual transformation of Guruji from the year 1989, which marks a watershed year in his life. This book is a must read for anyone and everyone having an interest in matters spiritual and an excellent study in oriental mysticism.
