I attended special prayers with my wife at a local temple organised by the Taman Brown Sri Sathya Sai centre. Disabled children from the welfare homes were treated as special guests. They arrived in wheelchairs and were taken into the temple to be blessed by priests. After a meal of sweet food (prasatham), the children took part in a special bhajan (singing session). Vegetarian dinner was then served. Energetic volunteers from youth groups provided excellent service. While we celebrate happy occasions, we shouldn’t forget about the underprivileged. It was truly a memorable weekend for us. N. A. Sundrasekaran, Penang 2007, Star Publications (Malaysia) Bhd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
