Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was among the dignitaries in attendance at the centennial celebrations of Sri Sathya Sai Baba's birth on Tuesday in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh. Federal ministers Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu and G Kishan Reddy, as well as cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, attended the event. The former Miss World touched PM Modi's feet when she was seated on stage after talking about caste, religion, and love. For the occasion, Aishwarya Rai looked amazing in a gorgeous yellow ethnic outfit. With her free-flowing hair, bold earrings, and no makeup look, she looked no less than a diva.
Aishwarya Rai said, "There is only one caste, the caste of humanity. There is only one religion, the religion of love. There is only one language, the language of the heart, and there is only one God, and he is omnipresent."
Aishwarya Rai acknowledged the widespread influence he had on his followers and expressed her sincere belief that his teachings are still applicable to them all, years after Sai Baba's death.
"On this historic and sacred occasion of the centenary celebrations of Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, my heart is filled with deep devotion and gratitude. Though a century might have passed since his birth, his presence, principles, teachings, and compassion continue to reverberate in the hearts of millions worldwide."
After thanking the PM for attending, Aishwarya Rai expressed her excitement for hearing his motivational remarks. "I extend a heartfelt thank you to our Prime Minister for attending this centenary celebration. I am looking forward to listening to your wise words, impactful and inspiring as always, to enthral us this morning. Your presence here adds sanctity to this celebration and reminds us of Swami’s message. That true leadership is service, and service to man is service to God."
Sathya Sai Baba was a philanthropist and religious leader. He fled home at the age of 14, claiming to be Shirdi Sai Baba's reincarnation. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2011.
