Uphold ideals of motherland: Saibaba

PUTTAPARTHI: Satya Saibaba has expressed concern at the increasing trend of neglecting the motherland by a large section of the youth.

After going abroad in search of lucrative jobs with hefty salaries, they are mostly insulting their motherland by forgetting the culture and moral values in life.

In his blessings to students of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning on its 22nd convocation held at Prashanti Nilayam here on Saturday on the eve of his 77th birthday, Saibaba, who is Chancellor of the institute, said while some youths were insulting the country abroad some others were ruing their stay on their motherland.

Instead the youth should strive to uphold the culture and ideals of this holy land, he suggested.

He called upon the youth to be ready for sacrifices for the motherland to uphold its dharma and call himself a true Indian. The glory of India would never fail but it would shine always, he said.

Saibaba asked his devotees to give him their love and take his life. He was ready to shed his life to get the divine love from his devotees, Saibaba said.
