PM Modi said that millions of people across more than 140 countries continue to draw inspiration, direction, and spiritual strength from Baba’s teachings.

Quoting Baba’s well-known principles—Manav Seva is Madhav Seva, Help Ever, Hurt Never, and Love All, Serve All—he said these ideals continue to guide humanity towards purposeful living.
Honouring Baba’s Legacy
The Prime Minister announced that the government has released a commemorative coin and a postal stamp to mark the occasion.

He paid respects at Baba’s Samadhi before addressing the gathering.

He praised the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust for continuing Baba’s mission in areas such as healthcare, drinking water, housing, nutrition, education, disaster relief, and clean energy.
Commitment to Social Welfare
The Prime Minister remembered Baba’s volunteers who were among the first to assist victims of the Gujarat earthquake.
He further said such acts reflect Baba’s vision of service that transcends boundaries of religion, caste, and nationality.
