The birth anniversary celebrations of late Satya Sai Baba, to be held at Putta-parthi from November 16 to 23, will be a low-key affair, in contrast to the pomp when the seer was alive. During his lifetime, VVIPs like the President, Prime Minister and Union ministers made a beeline to the godman’s abode at Puttaparthi to seek his blessings on his birthday. However, the big names are missing from the list of expected guests at the first birth anniversary after the seer’s soul left his body on April 25 this year.
The Satya Sai Trust has organised a host of functions to commemorate the birthday celebrations and Tamil Nadu Governor K. Rosaiah will grace the occasion on November 23, Sri Satya Sai Central Trust media coordinator Prof A. Anantharaman said. “We have series of cultural programmes, including one by Anup Jalota,” Prof. Anantharaman said.
A series of cultural programmes, including vocals by Sumeet Tappoo, Sumit-ra Guha, Sri Rama Nama Amrutham dance drama by Muddenhalli students, Rathothsavam, ladies day celebrations, instrumental music concert by Mandolin U. Srinivas and U. Rajesh, among others, have been lined up from November 16 to 23. IIS’s Bengaluru director Prof P. Balram will be the chief guest at the 30th convocation of the Sri Satya Sai Institute of Higher Learning on November 22.
