The star Birthday of Bhagavan was celebrated on 12th November 2003, according to the Indian almanac. On this auspicious day, 78 physically challenged persons were blessed by Bhagavan in Sai Kulwant Hall. Bhagavan lit the lamps and cut the Birthday cake to inaugurate the function that morning. He blessed each one of the patients and gifted to them tricycles, crutches, callipers, artificial limbs, wheel chairs, walking sticks and clothes. Bhagavan commanded Prof. Jayalakshmi Gopinath, to give a talk to the patients in Telugu, so that the patients would understand. Bhagavan delighted everyone with His sudden Discourse for 20 minutes without any translation. The students of Anantapur Campus presented some songs. The patients were offered sumptuous meal in the canteen as Prasadam. This programme was organised by the staff and students of the Anantapur Campus, as part of the 78th Birthday celebrations of Bhagavan.
