"study Circles for Divinity" was first published in June 1997 and is now in its third print.  It is an essential manual and reference book for people who wish to study and practice the teachings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba.  It is used in many Sai Centres around the world for study groups.

The book sets out material compiled from Sai Baba's discourses on some 42 spiritual topics covering, for example, living the human values, cultivating relationships, managing emotions, duty and discipline, celebratory discourses and many others.
Each chapter takes the aspirant through the meaning, significance, relevance and application of the topic in daily life. What is read must be put into practice.
The chapter from "Study Circles for Divinity" dealing with Non-violence can be viewed by clicking on the following word -    NON-VIOLENCE      - other chapters highlighted in the Table of Contents below can also be viewed by clicking on the name of the chapter.  Some of the chapters on this Website have been shortened from that in the book to fit the available space.

The book is ideal for groups or the individual seeker who wish to study a particular theme. This could include people who are struggling with a particular difficulty in life, such as a lack of self-confidence, the death of a loved one or a broken relationship; those who are endeavouring to resolve some confusion about a spiritual conundrum or principle, such as why we suffer or have 'accidents'; those who are yearning to discover the meaning in their life or the writer who is preparing material for a book or talk.

Baba blessed the manuscript in June 1996 and signed one of the first printed copies at Brindavan on 3 June 1997.
