Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Sri Saibaba speaking at the 27th convocation of Sri Sathya Sai University at Puttaparthi in Anantapur district on Saturday. Baba’s call to uphold human values PUTTAPARTHI: Sri Satya Saibaba has predicted that the entire world will be like India in the coming 28 years. Speaking at the 27th convocation of Sri Sathya Sai University at Sai Kulwant Hall in Prashanti Nilayam today, Saibaba stressed the need for inculcating human values in students. Explaining the importance of selfless service,he urged students to lend a helping hand to even their enemies. Baba advised parents against sending their children abroad for higher studies incurring a huge expenditure as there was nothing our own country could not afford to give. It was unfortunate that youngsters were migrating to other countries after getting educated, ignoring the interests of their motherland, he said. Disasters may take place worldwide, but there will be no danger to India, which is a real beauty. In the land of Mahasadhwimanis like Sati Savitri, Sita and Damayanti, truth and dharma are two of its strong points, Saibaba said. Quoting from Bhagavatam, he stressed the importance of values like love, peace and humanity. One should be self confident and no obstacles could stop him from being successful, he said, urging the people to stand united and uphold the national integrity. Former vice-chancellor G Venkataraman said students should understand and perform their social duty effectively. Students of Sathya Sai deemed university are lucky that they are getting value-based education with the blessings of Baba, he said. Saibaba was accorded a warm welcome by students when he entered Kulwant Hall to take part in the convocation. He presented gold medals and merit certificates to 21 students. Saibaba will give a darshan to his devotees at 7 am tomorrow on the occasion of his 83rd birthday. Minister for Major Industries J Geetha Reddy, Maharashtra Minister Ashok Chavan, Rayalaseema IG RP Thakur, District Collector V Anil Kumar, SP MK Singh and others were present SOURCE : http://www.expressbuzz.com/edition/story.aspx?Title=Baba%E2%80%99s+call+to+uphold+human+values & artid=fnUb5I6IV%7CM= & SectionID=e7uPP4%7CpSiw= & MainSectionID=fyV9T2jIa4A= & SectionName=EH8HilNJ2uYAot5nzqumeA== & SEO= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
