Sai aspirants will unite to further the teachings of Sai Baba through bhajans, which Akaloo and friends will render.

They will sing 100 bhajans to mark the start of the centenary celebrations ahead of Sai Baba's official birthday on November 23.

"Sai devotees can expect a medley of melodious, soulful bhajans dedicated to our divine master, and a tsunami of Sai Soldiers will gather to generate divine energy and love to power the world," said Akaloo.

The Sai Soldiers, he said, referred to approximately 5 000 devotees who will attend dressed in white.

He said the 100th birthday was more than a mere chronological milestone.

It was a clarion call to rejuvenate and recommit to Sai Baba's ideals.

"In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and moral dilemmas, his teachings offer a compass, directing humanity towards a future anchored in love, empathy and unity. To this end, a number of events are being planned over the coming months in the build-up to the 100th birthday in November."
