Prasanthi Update - A Wonderful start to the Annual Sports and Cultural Meet 2010

January 11, 2010

Today was a wonderfully Spectacular day at the Hill View Stadium as the Opening Ceremony of the Annual Sports and Cultural Meet 2010 was of to a Wonderful Start.

After Swami was ceremoniously received at the stadium at around 9.30am, The Traditional March past of all the students from all the Campuses took place to the melodious tunes of the Institute Brass band. The Flag hoisting and Torch lighting ceremony followed and there was also the Traditional Oath taking by all the students. The Mascot for this year's Games was a beautiful Swan which went up the hill to light the Games Flame on the top of the hill.

Then started a Wonderful display of cultural and stunt items by the Students of all the Campuses. Swami keenly watched each and every item and blessed them all. This year there were two huge LED screens that were kept in positions to display Live coverage of every eventwhich was taking place in the Stadium, Devotees from every corner of the ground could either see the events directly or on the screen and hence it added great value to the whole show.

In the Evening Programme, the tiny Students from the Sri Sathya Sai Primary school performed some wonderful dances and gymnastics. The last item with multi coloured umbrellas was wonderful and really enthralled the audience and Swami was thrilled with the performance.

The last performance was by the Anantapur Campus girls of the University. Needless to say their Programmes were also wonderful. The final Programme of theirs was a beautiful heart shape formation and the closing song was very touching. It was a wonderful end to the whole Programme and Swami himself clapped which was the Ultimate Tribute.

A Great day in the History of the University and Prasanthi Nilayam.

Om Sai Ram
