How We Started: 1986–1990

The year 1986 marked the dawn of a new era for Dr. Padmanaban Ranganathan. Sri Sathya Sai Photo Emporium had very modest beginnings, commencing operations as a one-man show.

Sri Sathya Sai Towers opened in 1990 and instantaneously became an admiration for locals and Sai devotees around the globe. The name that popularly stuck was Sai Towers — lovingly reflecting the adage Serving Love.

Pioneering Hospitality in Prasanthi Nilayam

Since its inception, Sai Towers has been forging ahead — constantly innovating and propelling itself through a motivated workforce, never looking back.

Sai Towers established the first multi-facility hotel, first restaurant, first bookshop and first photoshop at Prasanthi Nilayam. It was also first to introduce an air conditioner (1986), a computer (1990), a Fax Machine (1994) and a car (1987) in this ashram town.

Publishing, Brindavan & Beyond

Sai Towers also established Sai Towers Publishing and Sai Towers Brindavan at Whitefield, Bangalore. Sai Towers Publishing has published more than 250 books on Sri Sathya Sai Baba and other spiritual subjects, authored by eminent writers from India and abroad.

Through its futuristic outlook, Sai Towers has been able to foresee the changes that accompany every stage of development — sustaining its position as the one-stop destination for Sai devotees.

The Sai Towers journey has been arduous but triumphant. Operating a righteous enterprise and aspiring for excellence, Sai Towers has always found character as its greatest strength.

Well-wishers, bystanders and critics have all played their part. The Almighty continues to be the Silent Master — inspiring and guiding Sai Towers at all times, giving the strength to serve humanity with love.
