On Friday November 23rd we celebrated our Bhagwan’s 93rd Birthday at the Cooksville Sai Center, located at 5359 Timberlea Avenue, Mississauga.   

Preparations for this auspicious event had started a few months earlier with dedicated practice of bhajans, the musical melody program and the recitation of the Vedas. The auspicious event started as early as 6 am with the recitation of Suprapatham followed by Nagarasankirthanam, Veda chanting and bhajans until 9.00 AM.  More than fifty devotees participated in the morning event.  A light breakfast was served. The Cooksville Center was open throughout the day for devotees to come at their convenience, meditate, and receive Swami’s blessing!

The Ladies Wing worked with the Youth Wing to organize a special bhajan for our dear Sai Ma and all the mothers of Cooksville Sai Centre.  The young adults sang beautiful bhajans followed by children who presented a theme-based song for all mothers. The Ladies Wing brought flowers and the children presented them to all mothers after offering padanamaskar.

On Tuesday April 24th the Sathya Sai Baba Center of Cooksville celebrated Aradhana Mahotsavam at our Prasanthi Nilayam, the Cooksville Sai Center, located at 5359 Timberlea Blvd, Mississauga.   This auspicious event began as early as 5am to the recitation of the divine Suprabatam. Our Beloved Swami was with us all the way as devotees sang lilting bhajans during the Nagarasankirthanam (on the street around the Centre) till 6 AM. 

Swami has reminded us to “Spend your time in the contemplation of the beauties of Nature that are spread out before you in Earth and sky green expanses of the crops you have raised, cool breezes that waft contentment and joy, the panorama of coloured clouds, the music of birds. Nature is the purest hand work of God”.
