RAHUL GANDHI'S MAIDEN VISIT TO PRASANTHI NILAYAM : JULY 24, 2015

Puttaparthi was waiting for a grand welcome of India's one of the most powerful leaders Mr. Rahul Gandhi who was making his maiden visit to the holy abode of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.



Mr. Rathnakar, Trustee, Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, Dr. Voleti Chowdary , Director of Swami's super speciality hospital, welcomed Sri. Rahul Gandhi who was also accompanied by veteran congress party leader Sri. Digvijay Singh, Smt. Killi Krupa Rani, Sri. Raghuveera Reddy, Sri. Kanumuri Bapiraju and others.

As the last lap of Veda chanting was on, he entered the Sai Kulwanth Hall. The divine energy permeating the holy place was clearly visible on his face which brought back lot of smiles and a sense of emotion as he went close to postrate before Swami's Mahasamadhi.

Even though chair was kept for him to sit, he very humbly offered to sit on the floor next to the veda chanting group which showed how humble one becomes as soon as they enter the divine abode, forgetting the status of their's in the "MAYA" world.

Sri. Rahul Gandhi said he was very happy to be in Puttaparthi. He wished he had been here before but he said he would come here very often in future.

He later flew from Puttaparthi airport ending his maiden trip fully charged of Swami's divine energy. Hope the congress party which didn't win even one seat in Andhra Pradesh will get into momentum and regain it past glory...
