Aishwarya’s moving speech

She said that the teachings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba continue to reverberate in the hearts of millions, and called upon people to rededicate themselves to Baba’s divine message of ‘love all, serve all’.”As we celebrate 100 years of Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s blessed advent, may we all rededicate ourselves to his divine message – love all serve all. 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,” she said while addressing the audience. Go to Source
