OM SAI RAM
Welcome to all our overseas visitors.
Wishing everyone a lovely Ladies' Day and a glorious Bhagavan Baba's Birthday!!
Below are some really useful tips to help you have a safe and pleasant stay:
1) For any visitor to Prashanthi Nilayam, it is a GREAT idea to make a PHOTOCOPY
of your PASSPORT and VISA with the 24/7 PHONE NUMBER of the CONSULATE ,and carry it with you OUTSIDE as well as INSIDE the ashram.( TEL below for US Consulate)
This simple procedure will help you avoid a host of unwanted snafus, including passport theft, and it is the LAW. (Police may request that you produce your identification papers at any time.)
2) Several cases of mistaken identity have occurred inside the ashram which would have been cleared up instantly if identity papers could have been produced.
(Bear in mind that all Causasians tend to look the same to Indian Authorities)
3) Remember also, that your Tourist visa is for 180 days ( not six months), so count the days carefully.
"Overstay", unfortunately, is a crime with imprisonment..
4) If you are staying in Puttaparthi, please remember to fill out Police Form C upon arrival and Form F upon departure. Normally you will find these forms at your place of residence.
It is best to make a PHOTOCOPY of these DOCUMENTS as proof of police registration may be required at the airport.
All airports are now equipped with state of the art computers.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me at the email address above , or Kryshna at kryshnajai@yahoo.com ,if I am not available.
All Baba's blessings of peace and happiness to you at this auspicious time.
Yours Lovingly in Sai Service,
Margot A. Hoagland,
Warden ACS, Puttaparthi Area
