Centennial Birthday Celebrations of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Divine Maha Prasadam

Loving Sairam,

Hope everyone is doing well and continuing to absorb the divine vibrations of Bhagwan Baba’s Birthday Celebrations. Devotees around the world joined in with deep devotion and enthusiasm. The celebrations at Prasanthi Nilayam were exceptionally uplifting and will be remembered as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Naturally, an event of this magnitude requires extensive planning, and our organizational leaders and sevadals poured their hearts into years of dedicated effort to make it truly grand and successful. We will be sharing all possible insights into the various activities that took place during the celebrations.

"It is not dhana (charity) that you do; you are only offering gratitude to God; you are sanctifying the grain you have harvested by offering the food prepared out of it to these Narayanas (Gods in human form). Call it Narayana Seva! That will be more correct."

-Sathya Sai Baba, January 28 1975

From November 13-24 2025, the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust alongside the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organization, India, arranged for free Maha Prasadam to be served to all devotees who came to Prasanthi Nilayam to participate in the 100th birthday celebrations of our most beloved Bhagawan. From the wee hours of the morning until the late hours of the night, over 5000 sevadals from various states of India, especially Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, and Punjab, toiled tirelessly in six kitchens to prepare and feed healthy and delicious food to one and all in seven food courts completely free of cost. An average of 75,000 devotees enjoyed this maha prasadam on any given day to their hearts content, be it breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. This included up to 40 quintels of rice served in each session. All care was taken to ensure discipline and an efficient flow so that every devotee could receive Swami's prasadam efficiently, comfortably, and lovingly. The Maha Prasadam shed, located behind the North Block accomodation buildings in the ashram, was inaugurated by the Managing Trustee of SSSCT Sri RJ Ratnakar, the All India President of SSSO India and Vice Chairman of SSSGC Sri Nimish Pandya, along with other officers of SSSGC and SSSO India. On the night of November 24th, Maha Mangala Aarthi was offered by the officers and every seva dal blessed to participate in this mammoth initiative.
