Sri Sathya Sai Pranadhara (Liquid Love) Offering:

Telangana State Medical Services Coordinator, Sri Bhaskar Rao garu, had the privilege of offering Sri Sathya Sai Pranadhara, a symbolic gesture of Liquid Love, to honour the Divine occasion.

The concept of Sri Sathya Sai Pranadhara, an initiative by Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organizations known as "Liquid Love" was established in the year 2022. The primary objective of this Seva is to facilitate the prompt donation of blood by voluntary donors through the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organizations database. Initially, it was set up to meet the requirements of patients within the GHMC (Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation) areas, encompassing four districts: Hyderabad, Rangareddy, Medchal, Malkajgiri, and Sangareddy.

Since its inception to the present day, our dedicated Sevadal members have contributed a total of 520 units of blood through this ongoing initiative.

As part of the birthday celebrations of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba on 19th November 2023, and in accordance with the directives of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organizations India, a blood donation camp was organized within the sacred premises of Sivam. It gives us immense pleasure to report that a total of fifty(46 Gents and 4 Ladies) generous Sevadal members participated in this event, donating their blood. By swamy grace this Fifty number indicates Sivam Golden Jubilee Year. The collected blood has been promptly handed over to Gandhi Hospital, further contributing to the noble cause of saving lives.

We are deeply grateful for the unwavering support of our Sevadal members, whose selfless contributions continue to make "Liquid Love" a success in serving those in need of this vital lifeline. We look forward to continuing this noble endeavour and invite more individuals to join us in this compassionate service.

Thank you for your commitment and dedication to the cause of humanity.
