IBLIOGRAPHY
There are a few works here that I have not cited (but have consulted) and that are
of potential relevance to the topics that I have considered, but this is by no means
a full bibliography. A partial exception to this is my ‘Secondary Sources’ section,
which gives as comprehensive a list as I have been able to make of English lan-
guage academic works on Sathya Sai Baba (all of which I have cited) and of Eng-
lish language academic works that specifically focus upon other avatar figures
(some of which I have not cited). I have divided my sources into Primary, Secon-
dary, and Miscellaneous—in which category I include reference works and works
that make little specific reference to Sathya Sai Baba or to the avatar traditions.

NB Hereunder I omit giving the date of publication after the publisher details if this is not different
from the date of first publication, which I give in brackets before the name of the work. Where I do
not know the date of first publication, I use the date of (current) publication at left. When no de-
tails of the publication date are available, I use the abbreviation “nd” (no date).
