The Legendary Beginning of the Baton of Unity

On October 15th, Aushim Khetarpal and a team of inspiring para-athletes ignited the Baton of Unity at Shirdi Airport and Shirdi Sansthan during Sai Sarvadharm Sambhav Divas. This historic ceremony, attended by over 1000 devotees and 500+ guests, marked the beginning of a global mission to spread Sai Baba’s timeless message of Shraddha (faith) and Saburi (patience).

The event launched the Baton of Unity journey to Dallas, Atlanta, California, New Jersey, South Africa, Slovenia, and Serbia, spreading Sai Baba’s values of love, equality, and unity across the world. This powerful movement also laid the foundation for the Sai Baba Peace Awards, celebrating individuals and organizations making a meaningful impact on global peace.

Highlights:

  • Ceremonial Torch Lighting in Shirdi, igniting the Baton of Unity.
  • Para-athletes and devotees uniting in faith and devotion.
  • Sai Baba Peace Awards held in global cities to honor contributions to peace and compassion.

This legendary event set the stage for a worldwide movement, spreading Sai Baba’s message of peace, love, and unity.

Sai Baba Peace Awards - Honoring Champions of Peace and Compassion

Witness a momentous occasion from the 2015 Sai Baba Peace Awards, where tennis legend Martina Navratilova was bestowed with this prestigious honor. Presented by Mr. Aushim Khetarpal in Kolkata, this heartfelt tribute celebrated Martina’s lifelong commitment to peace, compassion, and the betterment of society.

The Sai Baba Peace Awards were established by the Shirdi Sai Baba Foundation (SSBF) to recognize exceptional individuals and organizations whose work embodies the core teachings of Shirdi Sai Baba — values that transcend borders and inspire millions worldwide. Through these awards, we aim to acknowledge the outstanding contributions that individuals like Martina Navratilova have made in spreading love, kindness, and understanding.

As an advocate for equality and a champion for peace, Martina Navratilova’s accomplishments both on and off the tennis court mirror the values of compassion and selflessness that Sai Baba so deeply espoused. This video captures the inspiring moment when Martina, a true icon of human spirit, received the Sai Baba Peace Award, a testament to her unwavering dedication to creating a better world.

Join us in honoring those who, like Martina, dedicate their lives to serving humanity and promoting peace. Watch this incredible moment and be inspired by the legacy of the Sai Baba Peace Awards, where compassion meets action.
