Ever made a cake before? Experienced baker or just a beginner… it doesn’t matter. Here’s an opportunity to celebrate Bhagawan’s Birthday by baking a cake for Him.
We invite everyone to bake a cake for Swami’s 96th Birthday, no matter how good you are. Everyone’s offering will be shown at the National Birthday Celebrations Programme on Saturday 20th November, online at 4 – 7pm.
Please send photos of your cake, and with your family around it to [email protected] by Monday the 15th of November. There may even be a prize for first place!
Our Centre’s Birthday Celebrations
Our own Celebrations for Swami’s Birthday will take place on Tuesday 23 November. The Programme will be 1-hour long, and will start at 7:00 p.m. It will include offerings from our SSE students, and cutting of a Birthday Cake. It will conclude with the Aarthi. The Zoom link details will be given in next week’s Announcements.
Opening up our Sai Centre for In-Person Bhajans
With thanks to Anil, the returns from our Survey on opening up our Sai Centre for In-Person Bhajans were collated, and the findings presented in the form of Slides (please see attached). The Office-Bearers met on 6 November to deliberate on the matter of opening up, and decided on the basis of the rise in numbers of COVID cases and the fact that Schools were recognising the increased danger by uprating the protection needed by teachers and pupils, that we would not contemplate having In-Person Bhajans until the Spring. This means that we will continue with our Online Zoom Bhajan Sessions for the foreseeable future.
