Sri Madhusudan Sai inaugurated a new basketball facility on the campus and visited the Aruike Speciality Hospital, blessing patients and interacting with staff. This mission-driven institution continues to offer free quality education and healthcare to the underprivileged communities of Nigeria.
Turkey: Building a Global Family of Love
Sri Madhusudan Sai then continued his journey of spreading the message of ‘One World One Family’ in Istanbul, Turkey, where he was joined by the first batch of women postgraduates from the Sri Sathya Sai University for Human Excellence, now serving the mission across its institutions.
At Prema Yoga Ashram in Istanbul, a public satsang was held in the evening. As the holy month of Ramadan was underway, Turkish devotional songs were rendered, followed by an inspiring talk by Mr. Rafi, who shared the story of the ashram’s inception and the ongoing service initiatives under the One World One Family Foundation.
The visit concluded with Sri Madhusudan Sai’s uplifting discourse, emphasising unity, service, and love beyond boundaries.
