Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba | Annual Sports and Cultural Meet | Jan 11 2005

As the 2024 summer olympics begin, our minds and hearts go back to the Puttaparthi Olympics of yesteryears in the physical presence of our beloved Bhagawan. The Annual Sports and Cultural Meet of Sri Sathya Sai Educational Institutions in 2005 was special as on this particular occasion, the Olympians of Greece offered to Bhagawan the exact torch used in the 2004 summer olympics to be used as a token of their gratitude and love.
