A brief about the translator
Ms.Mani Amma is aged around 78 years, and she has first visited
Shirdi in the year 1940 and has been visiting Shirdi regularly since then. Her
longest stay in Shirdi was from 1973 to 1978 and during this time she has spent
her time by serving Baba in the Samadhi Mandir, Dwaraka Mai, Gurusthan and
Chavadi. She used to stay where ever possible, if she did not find place, she
used to sleep near the Gurusthan. During her stay she started doing the parayan
of Satcharitra and was complety fell in love with the Satcharitra and was
impressed so much that she thought, if the Devotees in Telugu could enjoy the
beauty of Satcharitra and then started translating the Satcharitra by learning
Marathi and also taking help from the various devotees who used to visit Shirdi
or reside in Shirdi. She could able to complete about 9 Chapters in Shirdi and
then she came back to Hyderabad and completed another 20 chapters by 1983. Then
she got immersed in constructing a Babas temple at Kishan Bagh, and completely
forgot the translation work. Then the
editors of Sai Vani a monthy Magazine came to her and requested her to
contribute some articles to the Magazine and a thought arose in Mani Amma, why
not publish the Satcharitra in the Magazine, so the publication of the
Satcharitra in the Magazine started and then she started to complete the
remaining chapters and the translation work was completed in 1991. She then
published the book and it was a huge sell out, and then 2 more editions have
been printed, The Sansthan took up the publication work in 2005. We are thankful
to Sai Baba who inspired Ms.Mani Amma to translate the work in Telugu.
