Our Indian heritage is punctuated by many a rare sage. Jagadguru Sri Bharathi Theertha Mahaswamigal, the 36th Jagadguru of the glorious and sacred Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham, is one of the rarest of such rare jewels, characterized by staunch adherence to Dharma, fiery dispassion, unlimited compassion, absolute mastery over the sastras and very practical handling of a variety of issues, without compromising on scriptural injunctions and stipulations. His Holiness had an unique opportunity of serving and learning from the great Jeevan Muktha Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatheertha Mahaswamigal from His young age of fifteen.
This book, aptly titled 'Inspiring Saint', depicts the chronological metamorphosis of a divine child to a great Jagadguru and also contain a special chapter on His teachings, rendered in His inimitable style in the form of small modules, very much in tune with the present day needs.
