Ravi: I presume that the above text info. is true. I wonder whether His Excellency, the President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee has accepted the invitation.
In any case, it is a great pleasure to see that the leaders of the Sai orgn. and Sai fraternity were granted the opportunity to meet the president and also have this wonderful photo taken.
Update: SaiBliss Facebook user provided me an update, https://www.facebook.com/saimemories/posts/984415308271709. Extract from it:
This meeting happened on September 16, 2015 and President Sri. Pranab Mukherjee was very happy and appreciated the good work done by Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust and fondly remembered his visit to Puttaparthi in December 2013.
President Sri. Pranab Mukherjee expressed his inability to make it for the grand 90th birthday celebrations of Swami in Puttaparthi as he has prior scheduled engagements with international delegation who are visiting India the same time.
