Puttaparthi, Nov.23 (PMINEWS): Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan has described Sri Sathya Sai Baba as “a Great Emissary of God, of peace, love, and selfless service,” whose message and mission transcended all barriers of caste, religion, class, and nationality.
Speaking at the centenary celebrations of Satya Sai Baba in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, on Sunday, the Vice President said that Baba’s guiding principles—“Love All, Serve All” and “Help Ever, Hurt Never”—shaped every initiative he undertook and every life he touched.
Quoting the saint-poet Thiruvalluvar’s Kural, the Vice-President noted that Sri Sathya Sai Baba epitomised this timeless truth by devoting his entire life to loving and serving humanity.
Emphasising Baba’s teachings rooted in Sathya (truth), Dharma (righteousness), Shanthi (peace), Prema (love), and Ahimsa (non-violence), the Vice-President said these eternal values remain essential for building a harmonious and progressive society. He underscored Baba’s message urging humanity to replace discord with harmony, and selfishness with sacrifice—values that are especially relevant in today’s world marked by uncertainty and conflict.
He stressed that public life, too, must be guided by truth, duty, empathy, and moral responsibility—virtues that Sri Sathya Sai Baba deeply propagated.
Highlighting the far-reaching impact of the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, he praised its extensive initiatives in healthcare, education, and social welfare. Radhakrishnan commended the Trust’s Mobile Rural Health Services as a “vital lifeline” for remote communities and lauded the Trust’s educational institutions for providing world-class, values-based, fee-free education.
The Vice-President noted that the Trust continues to uplift communities through drinking-water projects, disaster relief, and a host of humanitarian services. He highlighted Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s pivotal contribution in rejuvenating the Telugu Ganga canal, which ensured drinking water supply to Chennai—an act of service that the people of Tamil Nadu will always remember. These initiatives, he said, stand as enduring examples of how love expressed through service can transform society.
On this auspicious occasion, the Vice-President called upon all devotees and citizens to honour Baba’s legacy through action—by extending a helping hand to the needy and nurturing peace in families, communities, and the nation. (Pressmediaofindia.com)
