Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on Wednesday said that the teachings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba continue to reverberate in the hearts of millions of people worldwide. She called upon people to rededicate themselves to Baba’s divine message of ‘love all, serve all’.“As we celebrate 100 years of Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s blessed advent, may we all rededicate ourselves to his divine message – love all serve all. There is only one caste – the caste of humanity. There is only one religion – the religion of love. There is only one language – the language of the heart, and there is only one God, and he is omnipresent,” she said while addressing the centenary celebrations of Sathya Sai Baba here.
Aishwarya, a former student of the Sathya Sai Baba Bal Vikas programme in Mumbai, said that though a century has passed since Baba’s divine birth, his presence, his principles, his teachings, guidance, and his compassion continue to reverberate in the hearts of millions worldwide “As I stand here today, with all humility and honesty, I can say that I always kept his divine message close to my heart and put it into practice in life. Once a Bal Vikas student, always a Bal Vikas student,” she said amid loud applause by hundreds of devotees and students of Sathay Sai Baba educational institutions.
She thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his participation in the centenary celebrations, saying his presence added sanctity and inspiration to the celebrations and “reminds us of Swami’s message that true leadership is service and service to man is service to God”.
