Festivals - Sports and Cultural Festival

Date: January

The annual Sports and Cultural Meet of Sri Satya Sai Institute of Higher Learning is held in the Hill View Stadium where a show of courage, confidence, balance, skill and concentration along with rhythm and harmony is displayed by the students before a huge gathering of spectators in presence of Bhagavan Baba and other dignitaries of the Sri Satya Sai Institute of Higher Learning.

"You are aware that on December 30 players from many countries came to Prashanthi Nilayam to take part in a cricket match. All of them had taken a resolve to play the game in a sporting spirit, with a pure mind and with due regard to the rules of the game. They played the game in this sublime spirit. Not only did they enjoy the game, but they filled the large mass of spectators with joy. Our young students showed great interest in the match.

Among the spectators were large numbers of people from neighbouring villages and towns. Sports and games have a well-defined role in influencing young people.

Life is a Game - Play it!
Life is a Dream - Realise it!
Life is Love - Enjoy it!
Life is a Challenge - Meet it!

People must be ready to face all the ordeals in life. The capacity to face the challenges of life is given to man alone."
