….Which Sing the Story of Sai

For many Sai devotees, October 20 is as sacred a day as November 23, Baba’s Birthday, as it was on this day that Young Sai for the first time announced to the world “I am Sai Baba”. The venue chosen by the Avatar for this landmark declaration was Uravakonda, a small town about 120 kilometres from Puttaparthi, where Sathya had been sent by His parents for His schooling. However, at the age of 14, one day Sathya returned from school very early, cast aside His books, went to the garden of the local Excise Inspector, Mr. Anjaneyulu, sat on a rock and for the first time sang “Manasa Bhajare Guru Charanam”. It was a momentous occasion for entire mankind…These images attempt to take you back to those hallowed and historic sites and moments.
