The Managing Trustee of SSSCT, Sri RJ Rathnakar, who addressed the gathering next on the topic 'Sri Sathya Sai Mission'. Speaking about how unique the Organisation is, in his analogy of river Ganga & Organisation, he mentioned that people who take a dip in it benefit from it and get sanctified by it, and it is not the other way around.
