Sixth All India Conference of Office Bearers , January, 1974

Baba inaugurated the Sixth All India Conference of Office Bearers of the Sathya Sai Organisations at Rajahmundry in January 1974. Over 6,000 delegates from all over India attended the conference. In addition, 750 Bal Vikas Gurus participated in the All India Conference of Bal Vikas Gurus held in the Divine Presence. Swami Karunyananda took all the necessary efforts to organise these conferences under Baba’s direct supervision. Baba’s Discourses helped integrate the office bearers into an effective instrument in His mission. Baba blessed the Bal Vikas Movement describing it as the basic activity of the Sai Movement and the Gurus as its most useful pioneers. Baba’s presence during all the three days of the conference motivated the delegates who had come from distant places like Calcutta, Bihar and Patna.

An emphatic call was given to the workers of the organisation to intensify their Sadhana through devotion, discipline and duty and to be exemplary to others. It was also decided that Sri Sathya Sai Seva Samithis shall hereunto be unregistered bodies.
