We were all saddened to hear of the recent passing of Joy Thomas, and we extend our heartfelt love and sympathy to her husband Raye. Through her books we feel we know them both so well. We had always hoped we could get Joy to come to Toronto for our Meet the Author series - but I guess it was not to be. The quartet of books whose titles were all based on a saying of Swami - Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is love, share it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a game, play it , have really given us insight into how we can receive answers from Swami on a mental level, and that every situation in which we find ourselves has the potential to teach us a spiritual lesson. We will continue to stock all her books, and make them available. And how about the prospect of visiting the pristine wildlife sanctuaries to experience nature at close quarters in the immediate presence of its creator. This latest book by Professor N. Kasturi, the biographer of the Sathya Sai Avatar provides an eyewitness account of Swami s only foreign trip so far. Detailing the events that took place from June 30 to July 14,1968 when Bhagavan responded to the devotion of the people of East Africa, Professor Kasturi describes with the stroke of his masterly pen the joy and ecstasy experienced by nature and man throughout the trip.
