Press Note On Sai Bhajan Sandhya (London)
‘The Sai Sammelan and Bhajan Sandhya programme held in London on 19th September evoked an overwhelming response by the Sai devotees. This function was a memorable one’, opined Chairman of Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust, Shirdi Jayant Sasane.
He further said that, Sansthan trust had organized the ‘Bhajan Sandhya Programme’ for the first time in London. The world famous Royal Albert hall in London was the venue for this function. The Sai devotees from non-residential of India and residents London were curious about this function. The devotees were allowed on the entry passes worth payment of 5 and 10 pounds. But, due to overwhelming response of the devotees, it was sold within a fifteen days. The seating capacity of this hall is of 5,000 people. Apart from this, about 500 devotees had to stand in the gallery and enjoyed the programme. It was a matter of noting that this was the first time that within a short time, 5000 passes were sold for this hall. It has proved the devotion and faith on Saibaba in London also.
The programme of Bhajan singing by noted singers Manhar Udas and Suresh Wadkar was cancelled two days before of the Sai Sammelan. However, the noted singer Anup Jalota was in London at that time. He accepted the request of singing Bhajans considering order of Shri Saibaba and won the hearts of the devotees assembled in the Albert hall. He extended his singing service for Shri Saibaba at the free of cost. In fact, it was the miracle of Shri Saibaba. The programme was started with Doop Aarti and 5500 devotees enjoyed the Bhajan Sandhya. I am delighted and have the immense pleasure that Sai Sammelan in London was a successful event. President of London based Sai temple Darshan Singh and Sudir Choudhari, Raj, Milind Patil, Reena Kakkad, etc took the sincere efforts to make this programme to a grand success, Sasane added.
