PDF files above 600 pages could be printed in parts due to which some Contents Links (all in 1st part) will not work. At times, the PDF generated in this manner by Chrome does not show some images and instead shows a placeholder which is linked to the image on the blog. Clicking on the placeholder leads to the image being shown in a browser tab, if the image link is not broken.

========== Older Versions =============

25 Jun 2023 Update: 
Added pdf files for period from Sept. 2019 to 25 June 2023. Note that pothi.com blog2book app is no longer available and so I had to use other utilities.
End 25 Jun 2023 Update

http://ravisiyer.blogspot.com is the blog titled, "Ravi S. Iyer: Spiritual", and sub-titled, "This blog is about Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba and other spiritual & religious matters".

This archive item contains pdf files that have been created (max. 100 posts at a time and/or 1 year at a time) of blog posts from this blog using http://blog2book.pothi.com/app/. All these files are put up on Google Public folder directory:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1GboRfWuL09OJsmyfCvF_WEefSDn7SfJs
Further note that the blogbook parts have the following issues (based on the above mentioned online utility output):
1. Some special characters e.g. Devanagari font characters are shown as solid black blocks.
2. Some links that extend to right edge of page are truncated and do not work.
3. Comments on blog posts are not included in the pdf files.



----------------- Old content of page from some years prior to 2023 -----------------

Over past few days, I uploaded recent versions of blogbooks having posts of particular periods, with all of them spanning the whole period of the blog, and all pages of the blog (in pdf format). I deleted the older versions.

Note that in these blogbook pdfs many posts' text have blogspot.in links which are broken due to a Google Blogger issue. Changing url (link address) from blogspot.in to blogspot.com will resolve most, if not all, such broken link issues. I had updated the pages with the change of blogspot.in urls to blogspot.com before I saved them in pdf form and uploaded it here but the posts blogbooks were done earlier and so have blogspot.in links.

I am now in the process of slowly changing the blogspot.in links in this blog to blogspot.com. I expect it to take many days as I plan to spend only some time hopefully every day to do this work.
