Headline: President Murmu and Chief Minister Naidu Honor Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s Legacy at Centenary Celebrations

Puttaparthi, November 22, 2025 – President Droupadi Murmu and Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu today commemorated the centenary of Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s birth in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, highlighting the spiritual leader’s enduring impact on global humanitarian service.

Addressing a gathering at Prasanthi Nilayam, President Murmu described Sai Baba’s life and teachings as a “guiding spirit” for society, emphasizing his motto of “service to mankind is service to God.” She lauded the Sathya Sai Trust’s consistent efforts to uplift women through various welfare initiatives, reaffirming the central government’s commitment to improving lives through skill development and inclusive growth, while stressing on collective participation in nation-building from spiritual and social organisations.

Chief Minister Naidu echoed President Murmu’s sentiments, asserting that global peace could be achieved by embracing Sai Baba’s principles of “Love All – Serve All and Help Ever – Hurt Never,” along with his five core values. He recounted Sai Baba’s commitment to resolving the Rayalaseema drinking water crisis, inspiring a massive devotee-funded water project that now benefits regions across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu.

On this occasion, Chief Minister Naidu launched the Sri Sathya Sai Tribal Women Health Care Programme, an initiative designed to provide preventive and curative healthcare to tribal women. The program will encompass telemedicine-based multispecialty services, screening for anaemia, breast and cervical cancer, and the provision of safe drinking water. Naidu called tribal women “the conscience keepers of our cultivation,” emphasizing the need for their economic empowerment.

President Murmu began her visit by offering prayers at Sai Baba’s Maha Samadhi and lighting the Universal Torch of Peace. The event was also attended by Sri Sathya Sai Trust managing trustee R. Ratnakar and All India Seva Dal president Nimish Pandey.
