Foreword from the District President

SaiRam, I offer my heartfull salutations at the lotus fee of our beloved Sarvadevatateeta Swaroopa Bhagavan Sri Sari Sathya Sai Baba Varu.

The elder and chosen devotees of Krishna District were very fortunate enough in having recognized Bala Baba as God Incarnated. Swamy blessed nearly seven or eight places and devotee’s residences in Krishna Distrct.

Swamy, we on behalf of thousands of devotees of Krishna District offer our salutations to you for blessing all of us to be an active member’s of esteemed organisation named after you and blessed by you.

Swamy how fortunate we are when you have created a lingam and named it as Premalingam and given to Samithi for daily abhishekam and declared whosoever taken the abhisheka jalam will get rid of any disease whatsoever.

Swamy long back during darshan time you hve enlighted all of us to concentrate on the followup of any activity in any wing by asking “machines teesukunnavallandaru bagunnaraa”. After hearing this we have been taking continuous steps for follow up whether it is medical seva, DJP or any educational activity.

Inspired by your teaching and activities, we have taken initiation and started medical services (including mobile medical van) D.J.P which serve the rural village public in large.

Swamy you declared that Good Thoughts, words, actions, good hearing, good behavior and goodness gives a healthy body and sound mind. By following this principle Swamy we want to rededicate our lives strictly as per the directions of Bhagavan and be blessed by Bhagavan.

Both he and his wife Smt Maniamma along with other members toured the entire District and encouraged to start Samithis and Bhjan Mandalis

Sri Y.V.Kutumbarao garu along with other founder members laid the foundation at base level. With noble thoughts and ideals and with a strong desire to follow the clear cut instructions from SWAMY in running the organization.

Cyclone hit parts of Krishna District in the year 1977 (Thousands of both human beings and cattle’s lost their lives) and during his birthday discourse. Swamy called upon all the sevadal to undertake service activities and sent tons of cloths, money to also to take up service activities. Krishna District Sevadal were fortunate enough to takeup service activites to the satisfaction of Swamy and during the relief operations Swamy sent Prof Sri Kasturi garu to see the service activities and give necessary instructions.
