Aastha Aur Pyaar: Khatu Shyam Baba Aur Maa Ka Aabhar by Sangeeta Maheshwari [Paperback]

Distraught over her child’s illness, Savitri Sharma found answers in Shyam Baba. Shyam Baba, the deity known for his grace and generosity, channelled through her to alleviate the suffering of his devotees and she committed herself to helping all who knocked on her door. Today, she is fondly remembered as ‘Maa’ by her devotees. She started the Shri Shyam Darbar and a dharamshaala, and passed on the legacy to her grandson, Sunny Sharma, before passing away. Sangeeta Maheshwari met Maa when she was five years old and became an ardent devotee. As a tribute to Maa, her spiritual mother, she narrates the story of her own life and Maa’s life, and how Maa guided her through the loss of her children to set up a foundation to help underprivileged children. She hopes that the wisdom Maa shared with her will help those who need to take a pause from 'running on the treadmill', enabling them to introspect on how to balance the two worlds - the inner and the outer - and integrate both to lead a harmonious life.
