When Swami selected the Design for His University's Administrative Building.
Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning - Administrative Building
Friday, February 12, 1982
A Greek devotee sent to Bhagavan a picture post-card depicting the elevation of
four monasteries in Greece. Bhagavan selected one monastery as a model for the
Administrative Building of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning. He
deputed Brig.Bose to Bombay to consult the Architects Firm, H. Godbole, with
the picture. Brig. Bose brought the drawing prepared on the basis of that
picture by Sri S.K. Athale of the Architect's Firm. Though Bhagavan approved
the main design, He did not like the design of the domes on the top. He wanted
those domes to be replaced by features of the Somnath temple and some Buddhist
temples. Accordingly, Sri Athale prepared a different set of design for the
domes that was approved by Bhagavan.
