He 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. He 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. Extending his greetings to the entire Sai community, he concluded with the universal prayer: “Samastha Lokah Sukhino Bhavantu!” and expressed hope that the teachings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba will continue to illuminate the path of humanity, reminding us that “the greatest worship is service, and the greatest offering is love.” During the centenary celebrations, the Vice President also witnessed the cultural presentation by students at the Centenary Celebrations of Sri Sathya Sai Baba at the Sri Sathya Sai Hill View Stadium, Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh.Vice-President of India ·Nov 23, 2025 @VPIndia·Follow Honʼble Vice-President of India, Shri C.
