5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Lady, June 13, 2006

By

This review is from: Sai Baba: The Ultimate Experience (Paperback)

I had the good fortune of meeting and spending time with this lovely lady. At 92 she works harder than anyone I know, traveling around the world alone, holding seminars, giving talks continuously, answering emails, letters, phone messages and giving lectures at a pace that would make most grown men swagger. They never end.

At 92 she had just come from Southern California where she was the feature speaker over a weekend Conference followed by Seminars in Chicago and in four days I saw her she give several evening lectures to large groups, held private sessions every afternoon for select groups followed by evening dinners and entertainment and she never rested until late (around 11:00pm) in the evening. Of course her mother lived to be 107.

The only things she did to rejuvenate was an afternoon of Tai Chi. I was absolutely dumbfounded. We dropped her off enroute to do the same in New York. After which she was on her way back to Germany to teach a large group of men in her work over a several week period...

She is in continous demand for her works and her intimate experiences. It was Sai himself that asked Phyllis to write this work entitle the "Ultimate Experience", to simply tell her story. She didn't write it for glory but to serve him.

She continues to write and work and serve. In spite of the many obstacles that are demonstrated here in this biography at a much younger age she keeps on, because of her incredible commitment and vast education in this subject. She continues to be an inspiration, not only to followers of Sai Baba but to everyone she meets. I watched first hand. There is not a soul that met her that wasn't touched and inspired deeply. I was! For the person that she is. I'm pretty tough to impress honestly; but she's quite an inspiration.

Her work on the Cutting the Ties that Bind will hold a place in the esoteric and psychological work for a long, long time. Her writings literally work miracles on peoples lives. This is simply a small contribution to her story.

Yes, this is an excellent book on Phyllis Krystal's direct experience with Sai Baba. For a more recent and an indirect experience with Baba, readers may refer to my book How Sai Baba Attracts Without Direct Contact: Diary of a 21st Century Sai Devotee.
