The 6-day long grand Birthday Celebrations of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba reached its pinnacle, the D-day – Bhagawan’s Birthday. The best way to please Baba and celebrate His Birthday is to serve Him in the the needy. Thus, the last 5 days were predominantly characterized by service activities like inaugurating drinking water plants for needy remote villages, launching blanket seva for 2000 needy, blood donation drive, grama seva etc.
The day started with the enchanting Suprabhatam and Nagarasankeerthan. Hundreds of devotees beelined to Sri Sathya Sai Divyaamritam campus to celebrate their Indweller’s Birthday in the Divine Presence. The day’s highlight, which comes as no surprise, was the inauguration of a HealthATM that would cater to thousands of needy free-of-cost. The needy need not go far and spend time, savings and energy to get their health checkup done, for the HealthATM in Sri Sathya Sai Divyaamritam would provide detailed reports in quick time at no cost to the beneficiaries. Good Health is a birth right for all. Swami’s various projects like upcoming chain of free-of-cost cancer hospitals, free-of-cost dialysis centres, rural medical services etc. now have the HealthATM as another feather to its cap.
The day shifted to a celebratory mode with Swami distributing chocolates to the crowd and with various honorable guests addressing the audience. Devotees had performed a Paduka Pooja for their Lord earlier in the day, expressing their gratitude to the Lord on His Advent.
Various devotees expressed from the bottom of their hearts through their talks. Brother Ram(Kernex software solutions), Sri G.Srinivas(MPP, L. Kota), Sri Srinivas(DPO, Visakhapatnam), Smt. Sudharaju (wife of MLC Sri Raghuraju), Sri. Kalyan Sarvepalli (Secretary & Trustee), Sri. Parthasarathy garu(CFO, Bothra shipping) and Sri. Ramagopal garu, Bhagawan’s follower talked during the holy occasion and thanked Swami for the fortune bestowed upon them to attend the memorable 98th Birthday Celebrations.
Swami delivered His Divine Discourse calling for action to develop the idea of ‘Be Servant’ to everyone which would ultimately lead to ‘Follow the Master’.
The evening programme had Sri Sravana Chaitanyananda Swami (Pontiff of Sri Durga MahaPeetam), who, with his energy and enthusiasm, cheered the audience with his insightful talk. A mellifluous musical concert by Smt. Madhavi Krishna, who can be said to be a regular singer in the Lord’s Court, followed. Later, fireworks lit the night adding more happiness and cheer to the eyes! With Mangala Aarthi performed to the Lord and Maha DivyaPrasadam served to all (overall about 10,000 Divya Prasadam meals were served during this Birthday Celebrations period), the divine 6-day long Birthday Celebrations came to a happy end, creating a longing in the devotees to come back to their Master quickly for another Divine occasion!
