Storybook Stack. There are still quite a few Storybook assignments in the stack and I am making my way through them in the order that they were turned in. If you turned something in before 8PM on Sunay, you should have comments back from me already. If you turned something in later on Sunday or on Monday or Tuesday, it is probably still in the stack. If you want to check and make sure your assignment is in the stack, you can see the contents of the stack here.

October 15: Sai Baba. Today, October 15, marks the anniversary of the death in 1918 of Sai Baba of Shardi, a man who is revered as a saint by both Hindus and Muslims. The year of his birth is unknown, and it is not clear whether he came from a Hindu family or a Muslim one. He lived the life of an ascetic and preached a gospel of love, charity and simplicity. He encouraged his Muslim followers to read the Koran, and he encouraged his Hindu followers to read the Ramayana, the Bhagavad-Gita, and other sacred Hindu texts. You can read a detailed account of Sai Baba's life and teachings at Wikipedia, which is also the source of this icon, a painting inspired by one of the photographs of Sai Baba taken during his lifetime:
