Synopsis
In a world where ambition collides with conscience, Sathya finds himself at a critical juncture. Tempted by powerful forces and lured by the promise of success, he faces a choice that could reshape his destiny. Yet, beneath the dazzling allure of power lies a persistent unease—a quiet struggle between what is convenient and what is right. As questions of loyalty, courage, and self-worth surface, Sathya’s heart becomes a battleground where he must confront the essence of his character.
What will Sathya choose?

Dr. Sailesh Rao, Founder and Executive Director of Climate Healers will speak about their work at Climate Healers. Everything they do at Climate Healers is dedicated to healing the Earth’s climate holistically, implementing a systems transformation to a climate-healing civilization based on a sustainable, plant-based, vegan rewilding economy from a climate-heating civilization based on an unsustainable, animal-based, conspicuous consumption economy. This will surely rank as the Greatest Transformation in Human History, greater than the agricultural revolution, the scientific revolution, the industrial revolution, the internet revolution, and indeed, even the discovery of fire, for it leads to the discovery of the spiritual fire within humanity.
Dr. Sailesh Rao is the Founder and Executive Director of Climate Healers, a non-profit dedicated to healing the Earth’s climate. He is an environmentalist by occupation and a systems engineer by profession. He invented the protocol for transforming early analog internet connections to more robust digital connections while accelerating their speed ten-fold. Still today, any data accessed on the internet is likely passed through a device implementing this protocol. He is also a Human, Earth, and Animal Liberation (HEAL) activist, husband, dad, and since 2010, a star-struck grandfather.
He has promised his granddaughter, Kimaya, that the world will be largely Vegan before she turns 16 in 2026 so that people will stop eating her relatives, the animals. He has faith that humanity will transform to keep his pinky promise to Kimaya, not just for ethical reasons, but also out of sheer ecological necessity. He has created a Climate Bathtub model to help humanity understand the systems solution space for reversing climate change and enabling a thriving planet.

Convocation Drama – 42nd Annual Convocation, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning
2023-11-22 17:30 - 19:30 (Asia/Kolkata) | Prasanthi Nilayam
Every person who has experienced divinity always falls short of the right words to share their tale of transformation. If the tale of men itself is difficult to express, what about the tale of the Lord? How do we savour the essence of His leelas? Well, only when He Himself chooses to write those tales can we be blessed to do so.
But can these tales be used to appreciate the transformative experience of man? Can they be used as a living, breathing guide to humanity?
On the occasion of our 42nd Convocation, we are pleased to invite you to “Divya Prema”, a drama scripted, directed, and produced by the students of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, as an offering of love and gratitude to our Revered Founder Chancellor.
Join us, the students of SSSIHL, as we embark on a journey, harnessing the Rama Katha Rasa Vahini, the story of Lord Rama, penned by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, as a kaleidoscope, to view our experiences; experiences of happiness, confusion, choices, decisions, opportunities, and difficulties; experiences of traveling unto divinity.
