This blessed family came from the city of Mysore, the ancient capital of the state of Karnataka. Sathya Sai Baba often visited there and talked a lot with the first devotees, telling them secret knowledge, including about his future birth as Prema Sai Baba.
Back in the mid-1950s, Sathya Sai Baba said this diary should be published in the future. These recordings lay in the Kannamma family for several decades and were not published until the 1990s, first in Kannada and then in English.
Several publishers published the manuscript. As a result of the translation of this great book from the original Kannada into English, some strange metamorphoses have taken place.
Unfortunately, when translating into English, the most important elements of the manuscript were subjected to ruthless editing, especially the ninth chapter. In those distant years, in 1944, when Sathya Sai Baba was only eighteen years old, he described in detail where and when Prema Sai Baba would incarnate.
The ninth chapter of the book contains the authentic words of Sathya Sai Baba that Prema Sai Baba would be born one year after the completion of Sathya Sai's mission. The book also indicates the exact place of birth as the village of Doddamallur, where the ancient temple of the god Vishnu (Aprameya Swami) is located.
Interestingly, Sathya Sai Baba even indicated he would incarnate in a poor family that would live by that time in a small house right behind the ancient temple. All these crucial details have been omitted in the English translation.
Fortunately, the first edition in the local Kannada language was made by an independent publisher, so it was in the first edition that the original text of Sathya Sai Baba's prediction was preserved. I was able to find this first unique edition and arrange for the translation of the ninth chapter from Kannada into English and then into Russian. The original message of Sathya Sai Baba with my comments is given in the next chapter of this book.
Why did some publishing structures go for falsification? It is obvious that such a decision was not made by chance, as if someone was trying to artificially confuse information and misinform a wide audience. In fact, many close associates of Sathya Sai Baba are well aware of all of his predictions. Regardless, some people artificially create confusion and hide the real information.
