PUTTAPARTHI, NOV. 25. The Sri Satya Sai Central Trust will organise a world

conference on `unity, purity and divinity' as part of the Satya Saibaba's 80th

birthday celebrations here next year.

Two ardent devotees of Saibaba were given the opportunity to speak at the

spiritual leader's 79th birthday function held here on Wednesday.

Michael Cochstein, a practising physician from Southern California, USA,

said he had found his spiritual divinity at Puttaparthi. "Swamy spoke to my

wife in her dream one day when we were passing through a difficult phase and I

had fallen in love with him immediately," Mr. Cochstein said. He claimed that

Saibaba had taught him that selfless love was the key to happy life. Stating

that Saibaba was an embodiment of selfless love, Mr. Cochstein said the

greatest joy in life was knowing selfless love through Saibaba.

`Priority for character'

Another devotee, G. Venkatraman, an atomic scientist, said that character

was being forgotten today in all educational institutions. The institutions,

students and their parents were thinking of only money and society was paying

for such a development. But, the Satya Sai educational institutions were giving

top priority to character.

Earlier, while entering the Sai Kulwanth auditorium Saibaba was cheerful and

enquired the well-being of several devotees. For the first time in recent years,

Saibaba drove out of Sai Kulwanth hall in the mini car and gave darshan to the

thronging devotees outside.
