An Appeal
- to add more colour, creativity and novelty to the Annual Sports Meet
It's a celebration of the heights of cooperation not the perils of competition.
It's a display of character
grounded and rounded by the training of the body, mind and spirit, not a
demonstration of raw energy, unharnessed and arrogant.
It's an arena where
miracles happen not just by rigorous physical culture or mental stamina
but through unstinted faith and sincere prayer.
In essence, it's a grand
visual eloquence of the true glory of sport where unity and purity
pervades and it's performed only to please Divinity.
That is the spirit of the
Annual Sports and Cultural Meet of the Sri Sathya Sai Educational
Institutions which is inaugurated annually on January 11 with a
spectacular ceremony. Like every year, 2014 too had those thrilling
moments of power and patience, stamina and balance, creativity and
beauty.

If you have missed watching
this ceremony Live we have now for you all the videos posted
campus-wise. And along with this comes an appeal.
-
As is obvious, all the students put in tremendous hard work to make this programme a befitting offering to Bhagawan. It would gladden their hearts to read reviews about their performances from all over the world and also encourage them to continue to scale loftier summits. So as you watch these videos, please share your feedback about their different displays which we will collate and pass it on to the respective campuses.

This is most important. As you see these videos, if ideas about any prospective shows come to your mind, do share them please. It could be a particular presentation you might have seen in your part of the world, or an interesting item of creative art or adventure that has fascinated you and you think can be replicated by the students here, or just a wonderful sporty idea that the students can contemplate and build on.
You can suggest programs
suitable for students of different institutions, say a new stunt on
cycles might be good for little ones of Primary School, a native
vigorous dance might be good for undergraduate boys of Brindavan campus,
and a presentation on roller skates could be adopted by girl students
of Anantapur campus and so on. Feel free to put down your novel ideas
please.
If we in anyway are able to
contribute to make this beautiful celebration of body, mind and soul
even grander every year, that indeed would be an offering which our
Swami would be happy and proud of. So let's participate in this great
sport of Sai, with Sai, for Sai!
