Narayana Kasturi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor Narayana Kasturi was born in North Travancore. He received his Bachelor's degree in Law and Master's degree in Arts from Trivandrum College in India. After graduation, he worked as a Lecturer in Mysore College. He served as the Secretary of the Sri Ramakrishna Mission at Mysore for over seventeen years. He met Sathya Sai Baba in the year 1948. He started writing the Life Of Sai Baba and published his first book Sathyam Sivam Sundaram Part I.[1] He was also the editor of the magazine of the Sathya Sai Organization, called Sanathana Sarathi.
Sathyam Sivam Sundaram- (Life of Sathya Sai Baba): [2] The English translation equivalent to this is Truth, Goodness, Beauty. The First volume in this series was published in 1961. This talks about the early days of Baba's life from the year 1926 to 1960. Kasturi says in his book that he wrote the early days of Baba's life based on the details given by Sri Pedda-Venkapa Raju (Baba's Father) and Sri Seshama Raju (Baba's brother) and teachers of the Bukkapatnam and Uravakonda schools (Baba's teachers). The Second, Third and Fourth Volumes have since been written and published in subsequent years.
According to Lawrence A. Babb, virtually all existing accounts of Sathya Sai Baba's life are based on the hagiographic writings of Narayana Kasturi.[3]
His autobiography was published in 1982 by Sri Sathya Sai Books and Publications. [4]
