On 6th March 2024, a group of distinguished Rotarians visited Sathya Sai Grama.
ROTARY is an organisation of business and professional leaders united worldwide, who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.
With the shared vision and objective to share society, the Rotary Club has partnered and collaborated with Sri Madhusudan Sai Global Humanitarian Mission (SMSGHM) on several projects, be it paediatric cardiac care at the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospitals across the country or even at Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences & Research (SMSIMSR). The Rotary Club of Bangalore South had recently donated the ‘Blood Collection and Transportation Bus’ to our Hospitals.
The group was taken on a tour of the campus and shown the Sai Krishnan cricket stadium, the Veda Paathashala, Shankaravanam, Premamrutham, SaiSure factory, Sarla Memorial Hospital, and Rajeshwari Memorial Block. Then, there was an interaction of the Rotary leadership with Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai, following which was a session at the Ataee Shaw Hall.
The key people in this group were:
Rtn Nagesh, Rotary International President Elect – July 2024
Rtn Uday Bhaskar, Current District Governor, Bengaluru South, and his First Lady
Rtn Satish Madhavan, DG Elect – July 2024
Rtn Sridhar B R, DG Elect – July 2024
At the session, Mr. Sai Prasad Ivaturi started with the introductory talk by welcoming the distinguished Rotarians to the headquarters of SMSGHM. He explained in detail about the motto of our organization being ‘One World, One Family.’ He said that when we help or serve a person, that gives us a sense of belonging to one family. Appreciating the work of the Rotarians as problem solvers and belonging to one family in common, he said it is a matter of great happiness to collaborate with them. With a new hospital block to be inaugurated in 2025, he mentioned that opportunities to collaborate are immense and expressed his gratitude to the Rotarians.
Rtn Uday Bhaskar gave a speech and said he was a student of the educational institution of Sri Sathya Sai Baba in Whitefield and followed His teachings through service from the Rotary Club. He expressed his delight in being associated with SMSGHM to serve the underprivileged in society.
Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai addressed the gathering and spoke about how He was a student of Sri Sathya Sai Baba and followed His teachings to do good to the world by establishing Sri Madhusudan Sai Global Humanitarian Mission (SMSGHM). He spoke about a nutrition program for 9 million school-going children, establishing a free-of-cost Medical College for the right health professionals and free Hospitals, and pointed out that nutrition, education, and health should be free for all irrespective of any criteria.
The Rotary team was felicitated with a token of love and gratitude for providing essential requirements for the Hospital, including the Blood Collection and Transportation Bus, Operation Theatre, and more. Rtn Rajesh Kumar R – President Rotary Bengaluru East, was also felicitated for his contribution towards serving 5 government schools with SaiSure Malt Multi Nutrient Health Mix around Domlur in Bengaluru.
It was an eventful day which ended early in the evening. Our organization looks forward to having a long-lasting relationship with the Rotarians to work for the upliftment of the society.
