| Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning - Administrative Building |
Friday, February 12, 1982
A Greek devotee sent to Bhagavan a picture post-card depicting the elevation of four monasteries in Greece. Bhagavan selected one monastery as a model for the Administrative Building of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning. He deputed Brig.Bose to Bombay to consult the Architects Firm, H. Godbole, with the picture. Brig. Bose brought the drawing prepared on the basis of that picture by Sri S.K. Athale of the Architect’s Firm. Though Bhagavan approved the main design, He did not like the design of the domes on the top. He wanted those domes to be replaced by features of the Somnath temple and some Buddhist temples. Accordingly, Sri Athale prepared a different set of design for the domes that was approved by Bhagavan.
