Introduction

Volume 4 of the My Dear Students series was released on October 9, 2010 during the most auspicious Devi Navaratri Festival. He blessed the Book and the students associated with it in the verandah of the Prashanti Nilayam Mandir. Baba very lovingly perused through the contents of the Book, especially through the Discourse on the Mahavakyas. He also saw all the collages and the Front and Back Cover Pages with a lot of interest.
In this Volume, 18 Divine Discourses are covered through three major themes – Advice to Students, Human Life and Insights from the Sacred Texts.
