A three-day all India Sai devotees conference and 14th annual function of the Dattatreya Sai Ashram at Krushna Kumarpur in Kapilash road here was concluded with religious fervour on Sunday.
Sources said around 500 Sai devotees from Gujarat, Karnataka, Mumbai, Andhra, Chhattisgarh, Pune, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh and Telangana took part in a discussion on Sai Darshan and various philanthropic activities.
Inaugurating the conference, Shree Ganesh Nath Maharaj Jee said Saibaba of Siridi always preached among his devotees to have more faith on Shradha (spiritual love) and Saburi (patience) instead of performing the painstaking sodasa upachara puja and fasting. 1,075 sarees were distributed among the poor ladies on behalf of Sai Ashram.
Besides, 4,772 patients availed opportunity to check up their health and get medicines on free of cost. Moreover, 123 units of blood were collected. Significantly, Angya laddu offered to Sai Baba was auctioned off at Rs 5 lakh. Dwarika Mohan Mishra, Jitu Pattnaaik, Akshya Dash and Bijay Mishra among others coordinated.
