ABOUT THE BOOK

Jatasya Maranam Dhruvam is an eternal rule as proclaimed by the Gitacharya in the midst of the battlefield of Kurukshetra to his disciple Arjuna, a rule which is applicable to the whole universe, he being a Jagadguru. It means and implies that every Birth is certain to end in Death. It is true as Satya Sai Baba declares that right from the moment of his or her birth, the funeral march of that person begins and in that process he or she may meet the funeral ground a bit early or a bit late.
