Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Ugadi heralds the beginning of New Year for the Telugu and Kannada-speaking people of South India. It falls on the Paadyami (first day) of the Shukla Paksha (the fortnight leading to the full moon) of the Chaitra month in the Hindu calendar. The Hindu calendar system also lays down the names of sixty Samvatsaras (years) that repeat in a cycle, and the name of the year that has just begun is ‘Sarvadhaari’. Many people thronged Prasanthi Nilayam to celebrate the New Year in the Divine Presence of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Sai Kulwant Hall was tastefully decorated for the occasion with fresh flowers, green mango-leaf festoons and buntings of various hues.
