It is a systematic, thematic presentation of facts in a simple and lucid manner. It gives fascinating glimpses into Baba's miracles, His omniscience, His omnipotence and His omnipresence. It further expounds on how Baba brought happiness into the lives of issueless couples craving for children. But the main focus has been on Baba's divine healing prowess and the devices He used to achieve His mission i.e. happiness of the people who surrounded Him in a simple and systematic manner.
