RSS Sarsanghachalak Shri Mohan Bhagwat and Sarkaryavah Shri Bhaiyaji Joshi jointly paid tribute to Sri Sathya Sai Baba, who passed away on April 24 morning due to cardio-pulmonary failure. In their tribute they said: “The news of most revered Sri Sathya Sai Baba attaining moksha has been received by millions of his devotees and lovers of our Dharma with profound grief and a sense of personal loss. Revered Sri Sai Baba had, in his long spiritual journey of more than 7 decades, rekindled the spirit of eternal human values of Hindu dharma in millions and millions of people all across the world and inspired them to tread the path of righteousness. Today the spiritual light ignited by his revered self pervades all over the world through his devotees who, cutting across geographical, religious and social boundaries, carry his sacred message in more than 135 countries.
Revered Baba had done yeoman service in the field of education, healthcare and socio-economic development of the poor and underprivileged people. He encouraged his disciples to open thousands of schools through which eternal Hindu sanskaras are being imparted to millions of children besides quality education. He brought waters to scorched lands of several districts and supplemented Government efforts in providing drinking waters to millions of people in Andhra Pradesh. Healthcare initiatives of Revered Baba have provided succour to millions across the globe.
Revered Baba had a special affection for the cause of Hindu unity and reform and always showered his choicest blessings on the activists of the RSS and VHP engaged in that mission. In an intuitive gesture revered Baba sent word to the RSS leaders to visit him on March 18, 2011. About 60 senior functionaries of the Sangh visited Puttaparthi and received Baba’s blessings, which will remain as cherished memory for ever.
Revered Baba had ended his leela in this loka and attained moksha. His spirit and message remain pervading this world eternally. We are sure millions of his devotees would continue to tread the path of Dharma prescribed by him.
On behalf of the RSS we pay our most respectful homage to the cherished memory of the great soul.”
