Ram.Bagepally is on the National highway from Bangalore to Puttaparthy and is

100km from Bangalore. During the 55th birthday celebrations of

Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Varu in 1980, Bhagawan commanded us to offer

refreshments to his devotees and the delegates attending the 3rd World

Conference, at our place. At that time we served in a small shamiyana of 10’

X 20’ offering biscuits, coffee and tea to the devotees for about 15days. On

the concluding day Bhagawan visited the camp, took arathi and blessed us.

We are continuing this service since then, serving

devotees every 5 years once during the world Conferences. After 1980, 1985 and

1990 camps, we felt that we should do this service on a permanent basis, so

that devotees can avail the services through out the year on everyday. With

this intention, with the permission and blessings of Bhagawan we formed a trust

in the year 1992, naming it as ‘Sri Sarva Dharma Samanvaya Trust’. We

purchased land of about 7 acres and dug two tube wells. Along with this service

we decided to start an old-age home for the senior citizens. By the year 1995,

Bhagawan ‘s 70th birthday, we constructed a Sarva Dharma Stupa of 36’ height

and a 3500sqft kitchen cum dining hall block which was incomplete. We did the

service in this building for fifteen days, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Bhagawan inaugurated this building on 7-06-1996 and named the ashram as

“Sri Sathya Sai Prem Kutir.” We started our services for the senior citizens

from October ’96. Bhagawan visited us in June ’97 and in June ’98. During

Bhagawan’s visit on 11-06-2000, Swamy inaugurated the Ganesha temple, the

Gokulum and the 16-bed dormitory. Till this dormitory was opened,

the inmates of the ashram were housed in the Dining Hall block. There are also

3 cottages for the people seeking privacy. These are donor cottages. The donors

pay the cost and stay for their life. Dormitory accommodation is free. There are

25 inmates as of now. For

Bhagawan's 75th birthday in Nov 2000, we conducted 75 mass marriages on 13th Nov

and started serving the devotees with breakfast, lunch and dinner till 28th Nov.

on the 11th of June 2000, in the public speech, Swamy announced that he would

start a school for the children from 1st Std. So, we bought another 5 acres of

land donated by a devotee. Swamy gave us the seed money and by June 2001 we

completed 3 classrooms, which are of 16’ X 24’ size with a corridor of 7’.Swamy

inagurated the school along with a computer center on 11th June 2001 and named

it as "Sri Sathya Sai Vidyan Niketan". We started with 1st std. and adding on

plan for 36 classrooms, an auditorioum and a play ground. The cost of each

class room is a approximataly US $ 6000. we have to add on the class rooms

temple for each graha of the size 11' x 11' and a temple in the center of the
