Telugu Thalli International

  If our children lose Telugu, a huge part of us  disappears Six years ago, on 25 November 2019 , just two days after Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s birthday, Prerana Paatashaala was born. At that time, I was searching—truly searching—for meaning, direction, and my life’s purpose. I felt lost, unsure of where my path was leading. And like many moments in my life, I turned to Swami and asked, “Please show me the way.” He did.

  Honouring Their Journey, Preserving Their Mother Tongue, Living Their Culture for our sake! Today marks 165 years since the first ship carrying Indian indentured labourers arrived on the shores of South Africa. On 16 November 1860, hundreds of men, women, and children disembarked at Port Natal—unaware of the harshness, challenges, and unimaginable sacrifices that awaited them. They had left behind the comfort of home, the familiar rhythm of their villages, and the embrace of families in India. Yet what they carried with them—something far deeper than possessions—was their language, culture, and spiritual identity . Though they came under difficult circumstances, their resilience laid the foundation for a vibrant, proud and deeply rooted Indian community in South Africa today.
