Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations launch state-wide cleanliness drive in Andhra Pradesh
Vijayawada, Oct 2 (TNT): Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, Andhra Pradesh, launched a state-wide cleanliness drive on Friday on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, as part of the nationwide “Swachhta Se Divyata Tak” initiative.
State President R. Lakshmana Rao launched the drive by participating in a cleanliness programme around the Sri Sathya Sai Mandir at Sitarampuram in Vijayawada, along with State Vice-President Ch. Surendra, state office-bearers, district presidents and Mahila office-bearers.
Volunteers cleaned roads and surrounding areas of the temple, reaffirming the organisation’s commitment to cleanliness, selfless service and spiritual transformation.
On the occasion, Lakshmana Rao also launched “Sri Sathya Sai Liquid Love,” an initiative aimed at creating awareness and mobilising blood donor registrations across India.
The programme highlighted the message of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, “Cleanliness is Godliness,” emphasising that cleanliness extends beyond the external environment to include purity of mind and thought.
The drive was organised in response to a call by Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations’ All India President Nimish Pandya to dedicate an 18-day period, from Gandhi Jayanti on October 2 to Avatar Declaration Day on October 20, to cleanliness and spiritual transformation.
Through the initiative, the organisation aims to encourage devotees, volunteers and the public to take collective responsibility for maintaining clean and healthy surroundings and to make selfless service an integral part of spiritual practice.
