Sai Centre: National
95th Birthday Offering by the SSE children
As we were approaching 2020, the Education wing was eagerly thinking of ideas which could be translated as an offering to Bhagawan on His 95th birthday. Keeping in mind the SSSIO theme, “Unity is Divinity, Purity is Enlightenment” the Education Coordinators started canvassing for ideas. In the early spring of 2020, the emergence of COVID-19 changed our personal lives and we needed to be creative in our approach to support the devotees and children at our Sai Centres. We harnessed the idea of children writing prayers which were and are much needed during the challenging times we live in.
A garland of poems written by children on Bhagawan’s 94th Birthday
Dear Bhagawan, Your love for the children is boundless and unconditional. Please accept a garland of poems strung in loving gratitude for you on the 94th year of your birth. The love for their Beloved Lord has been eloquently expressed by the children of the Sathya Sai Education program and the Sathya Sai School in Canada, ages 6 to 17. They are blessed to feel your presence within them, the sentiments expressed in the poems are testimonials to that.
