These stories describe a grand
historic event - a world teacher bringing heart
into a field which has long been tempted by money
and position. Sathya Sai Baba's hospital symbolizes
a new approach to medicine in which care is provided
free of charge and love is an essential ingredient
in the healing process. Sai Baba says, 'Science
without humanity is dangerous'. - Samuel H. Sandweiss

Eighteen physicians weave a tapestry
of love and compassion, describing how Sathya Sai
Baba has lit a flame of inspiration in their medical
practice. The reader sees how, again and again,
both the patient and the doctor are transformed.
Miraculous cures are in abundance,
testifying that Sai Baba is constantly helping us.
He blesses the physicians, kindling within them
the fire of devotion, so that both patient and doctor
can be healed physically, mentally, and spiritually.
These experiences are in contrast
to Western medicine today in which doctors are trained
to rely solely on scientific principles and, in
doing so, often lose their compassion, viewing medical
practice as merely a business. The physician authors
tell us how becoming a Sai Baba sevotee has influenced
and changed their relationship with patients, transformed
them as doctors, and how they experience Sai Baba's
hand in their practice.
These stories celebrate
the Lord, providing us with new insights and comfort,
and showing us what medicine could become.
