A festival depicting the theme of cultural diversity was held at the Vivekananda College in Orr’s Hill, Trincomalee recently under the patronage of the Department of Cultural Affairs Eastern Province.

Thousands of Hindu devotees from several parts of the Eastern Province flocked at the historic Mamageswaram Temple in Amithakali in Batticlaoa on Tuesday. The deity of the temple was taken to the venue of Theertham after poojas at the Vasantha Mandapam. Devotees chanted Arohara as they engaged in the Theertham.

An impressive musical programme was presented in Prashanthy Nilayam under the title ‘ Mana Bangaru Sai’ recently. 113 Sai Youth and 59 adults from Mauritius were members of the team of singers. They are in Prasanthi Nilayam for the Sathya Sai World Youth Festival. This unique presentation of gratitude to our beloved Lord included poems, speakers and an array of songs enjoyed by Swami.
