The first wish was written by his highness Prince of venkatagiri followed by eminent singer P. susheela , central trust member shri Ratnakar..............students, staff of Sri sathya sai University etc.
This greeting was offered to Bhagwan on 20th of november at his residence.

Many devotees felt as, if they are greeting Bhagawan directly. this is one and only greeting in the world in which most of the languages and different country people have unitedly conveyed their wishes to an individual. Swami was immensely felt happy seeing the greeting, then Parthi Boys group co-ordinator asked swami to bless all the devotees who have written their wishes on the greetings.
swami immediately said i am very very happy and i bless all of them.
