Message from the SSSGC Devotional Officers: As part of preparations for Bhagawan’s centennial birthday celebrations, various initiatives are being undertaken by SSSGC USA organization.  Swami stated fostering vedas as one of His avataric missions (Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 2 (https://sssbpt.info/ssspeaks/volume02/sss02-48.pdf)).  With Swami’s blessings, vedic chants have been part of daily morning and evening bhajan sessions at Prasanthinilayam. Bhagawan encouraged everyone to learn to chant Sri Rudram and for years Sri Rudram was chanted by all in Sai Kulawant hall on a regular basis in His divine presence. This is a great opportunity for all of us to begin learning some of the Vedic chants that are chanted at Prasanthinilayam. Hope and pray that all of us utilize this opportunity and be part of an offering to Bhagawan during His Centennial Birthday Celebrations.
