Guest guest Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Sai Ram! It's exactly three years now since the killer Tsunami lashed on to the shores of the Indian sub-continent killing, in its fury, thousands of people and leaving behind a trail of destruction of mammoth proportion. It was a catastrophe that demanded all out efforts from every quarter to provide relief and succour to the devastated people. Rising to the occasion, the Seva Dals of Sathya Sai Organisation swung into action and what followed was a Tsunami of a different kind- of love expressed through selfless service. First, the Seva Dals, went about with the task of disposing the highly decomposed dead bodies, an act even the government agencies were reluctant to undertake. After taking a tetanus shot, they fanned out all over the place locating and extricating stinking bodies and arranging for their cremation. This was followed by intense service activities, spread over a considerable period to time, of providing truck loads of food, medicine, clothing and other essential supplies. Glimpses of this unparalleled humanitarian effort were captured and they form a part of the Prema Jyothi exhibition. Some of these are included in today's picture section. Prior to the this, Seva Dal volunteers were deeply involved in the rescue and relief operation in the aftermath of Gujarat earthquake. And Swami himself has deputed personnels to oversee the relief activities. Anywhere in the world, it is Swami's devotees who are in the forefront to relieve pain and suffering whenever a disaster strikes and in all these it is HIS love that translates into service. There were a few VIPs visits to the exhibition this week. While it was the Indian Home Minister Mr.Shivraj Patil who did the rounds yesterday, it was the turn of Mr. Sushil Kumar Shinde, Union Minister for Power to turn up this afternnon.
