The birth centenary celebrations of the revered spiritual leader Sri Sathya Sai Baba in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, became the backdrop for a moment of profound respect and unity, featuring two of India’s most influential figures: actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A video of the actress touching PM Modi’s feet quickly circulated online, but it was Aishwarya’s moving speech on humanity and universal love that truly captured hearts, winning nationwide praise.

The Gesture of Respect: Touching PM Modi's Feet

Attending the grand event in a stunning light mustard suit, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shared the dais with numerous dignitaries, including Prime Minister Modi and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. The moment that instantly went viral was captured after her address: Aishwarya approached the Prime Minister and performed the traditional gesture of touching his feet to seek his blessings.

The Universal Message: "Love All, Serve All"

Aishwarya’s address to the audience was centered on the core philosophy of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, advocating for unity and selfless service. Her words eloquently championed a message of humanity that transcended all political and social divides.

She powerfully stated, “There is only one caste, the caste of humanity. There is only one religion, the religion of love. There is only one language, the language of the heart, and there is only one God, and he is omnipresent.” This reaffirmation of Baba’s teachings—"Love all, serve all"—struck a chord with the spirit of the centenary celebration. For fans, the message was wholesome and timely, using her voice to amplify a sentiment of unity and compassion.

Leadership and the Five Ds: A Tribute to Service

The actress also took a moment to express her heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Modi for his presence, adding that his attendance “adds sanctity and inspiration to this centenary celebration.” She subtly linked the Prime Minister’s leadership to the spiritual leader’s core tenets.

Aishwarya reminded the audience of Swami’s belief that “true leadership is service and service to man is service to God.” Furthermore, she recalled Sri Sathya Sai Baba's teaching of the "Five Ds"—essential qualities for a purposeful life: Discipline, Dedication, Devotion, Determination, and Discrimination. By weaving together spiritual philosophy, national leadership, and her own commitment to these values, Aishwarya delivered an insightful and impactful speech that left a lasting impression. Her genuine devotion and inspiring words won her immense public appreciation, solidifying her status as not just a cinematic figure, but a thoughtful cultural voice.
