The NSW Region’s Sai100 Celebrations were held as a sacred and joyous offering to commemorate one hundred years of the Divine Advent of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. The event drew a staggering number of attendees, with devotees and community members filling the auditorium, conference hall, and foyer, creating an atmosphere of unity, reverence, and celebration.
The day commenced with an immersive SSE Exhibition, offering a reflective journey through Swami’s life, teachings, and miracles. This thoughtfully curated experience invited devotees to pause, reflect, and reconnect with Swami’s timeless message. The exhibition was followed by canapés served in the foyer, where devotees gathered in fellowship before the doors to the auditorium opened to vibrant celebratory music, setting a joyful and uplifting tone.
Inside the auditorium, a moving photo collage traced Swami’s life through the years, gently preparing hearts for the program ahead. The formal proceedings began with a Welcome to Country by an Aboriginal Elder, honouring the land and reinforcing the spirit of unity and respect. This was followed by an address from the ISSEA Chair, who eloquently reflected on Swami’s teachings, values, and their relevance in today’s world.
Harmonies of the Heart, a children’s choir presentation, offered a pure and devotional musical tribute, before the highlight of the celebration, A Sprinkle of Sai Love. This musical production beautifully wove music, drama, and Sai values, bringing spiritual lessons to life with joy and depth. The program concluded with devotional singing, leaving hearts uplifted.
Notably, members of the wider community and organisations that work alongside Sathya Sai service initiatives also attended, reinforcing Swami’s message of Love All, Serve All in action.
