Overview
- Acting President Delcy Rodríguez visited Prasanthi Nilayam on Sunday, offering prayers at Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s Mahasamadhi and attending Mangala Arati and bhajans.
- She toured the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning and publicly lauded its values-based, integral education model and research programmes.
- Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust and SSSIHL officials, including Managing Trustee R. J. Rathnakar, Vice-Chancellor B. Raghavendra Prasad and Registrar Srikanth Khanna, formally received and escorted her during the visit.
- As a ceremonial gesture, Rathnakar presented Rodríguez with a framed portrait of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, and she spent time in quiet contemplation in the Bhajan Hall.
- The visit builds on long-standing personal devotion by Venezuelan leaders to the Sathya Sai movement and highlights how spiritual diplomacy now runs alongside Rodríguez’s broader India trip focused on energy and trade.
