A crowning jewel in the Centenary Year Celebrations of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, this momentous event drew ardent devotees from over 50 countries, uniting them in an unparalleled spiritual spectacle.

Every aspect of the Yajnam was infused with sacred intent and meticulous planning, reflecting the essence of supreme dedication and divine orchestration.
A Dawn Drenched in Divinity
Even before the golden hues of dawn painted the sky, the sanctum sanctorum of Bhagawan’s Sannidhi stood bathed in celestial radiance. As the curtains gracefully parted, an intoxicating fragrance of fresh orchids intermingled with the sacred fumes of incense and dhoop, wafted from the Sayeeshwara Lingam placed in front of the Sannidhi. A sense of divine anticipation filled the air, as hearts swelled with devotion, surrendering to the transcendental energy pervading the hallowed grounds.
Sri RJ Rathnakar (Managing Trustee, SSSCT) and Smt Himavahni, embodying sacred traditions, led the inaugural rituals of Go Daanam and other sanctified offerings, invoking auspiciousness and divine blessings for the momentous culmination. With profound humility, the erudite priests prostrated before the divine and commenced the Mahanyasam, their sonorous chants resonating like cosmic vibrations across the spiritual heartland of Prasanthi Nilayam.
The Resplendence of Rudra Homam & Lingabhishekam
The Lingabhishekam that ensued was nothing short of a celestial spectacle. Waves of devotion swept through the thronging devotees as the sacred Sayeeshwara Lingam was bathed in a sequence of divinely ordained offerings. The Sai Kulwant Hall, brimming beyond capacity, witnessed an unceasing influx of devotees, spilling over into the Poornachandra Auditorium, each longing for but a glimpse of the sacred ritual unfolding before them.
The sacred Rudra Homam, a bridge between the material and the divine, ascended to its zenith with the Poornahuti, the ultimate offering into the hallowed flames, sealing the prayers of thousands into the cosmic ether. The divine synergy of all homa kundams converged into the central sacred fire, culminating in the Jayadi Homam, a powerful invocation of celestial blessings.
A moment of transcendence unfolded as the Divine Discourse permeated the charged air, imparting wisdom, inspiration, and spiritual rejuvenation to the rapt audience.
The Maha Poornahuti, the supreme and final oblation, soared into the sacred flames, consecrating the Yajnam with an eternal benediction. The sanctified Kalasa waters from holy rivers, infused with divine vibrations, cascaded upon the Sayeeshwara Lingam, spreading their sacred essence to all present.
