The quotations of Sri Sathya Sai Baba are combined with the breathtaking photography of Sylvio M. Tabet in this coffee table book, by which Tabet hopes that the teachings of this wise man will be shared and read, not hidden in libraries or in bedrooms. Sai Baba, considered to be the Avatar (Divine Being) of this age, tells us that "There is one religion: the religion of love". Whether incarnation of God, holy man, or merely a wise man, no one can deny that the Sai Baba's life is his message: "Love all. Serve all. Help ever. Hurt never". He has established an educational program that encompasses kindergarten through post-graduate level, a university system accredited by the Indian government, and built tuition-free elementary, secondary, and technical schools. In India, he has also built, staffed, and maintained hospitals where medical care is provided free of charge.

Journalist Aaron Smith never planned to go to India before he had a contract put on his life by a drug dealer, when suddenly India seemed like the perfect place to get lost. In the process, he ended up finding himself, as well as encountering a dead body or two, witnessing the tragic death of a friend, dodging terrorist attacks and a revolution, and befriending a colorful cast of characters. Pulling no punches, this Gonzo-styled, page-turning Indian adventure has pathos, self-deprecation, and a wicked sense of humor. It provides a raw, honest, and amusing appraisal of traveling through contemporary India.
