“If you’re not respecting the humanity, you can not respect the God. If you’re not serving to the humanity, you can not serve the God. Imagine if you lost your two legs, how your life will be. Today you’re seeing hundreds of thousands of people — God has given you all angles of the health. Let’s pray, yourself, pray for the humanity.” — Sri Kaleshwar

On January 2nd, 2009, Dr. Sri Sai Kaleshwar’s anniversary, he invited and distributed over 1,000 tricycles to the poor and physically handicapped people from 100 villages.
In his speech, Sri Kaleshwar reiterated that he would not enter into politics; rather, he preferred to continue helping the poor and needy through his social service activities.
He also commented that to serve people one did not need to enter politics, affiliate with any politician or political party. He loves to serve people, and feels that he was one amongst them. Helping people is the best thing to do in one’s life; nothing is better than this.
Each and every person should contribute to society as much as they can; at least a little bit by sharing their belongings with others who are in need. In doing so, one can feel a deep sense of joy and satisfaction in their lives, which is not easily found through other means.
Sri Kaleshwar shared a personal story, which inspired him to start these handicapped programs:
“Once when I was traveling in a car, at a railway crossing, I saw a physically handicapped beggar who had just been involved in an accident, fallen down and was suffering with severe pain. Looking at him I felt a deep sorrow within my heart. It was at this moment that I decided to help these poor, physically handicapped people.”
Through giving these tricycles to those who need them, I feel a deep sense of satisfaction and peace.
He further expressed his readiness to donate an additional 10,000 tricycles for the many remaining handicapped individuals located throughout the entire Anantapur District of Andhra Pradesh.
The presentees during the event were the Shirdi Sai Global Trust members Mr. Bhaskar Reddy, Mr. Nagi Reddy, Mr. Jagdish, Mr Ravi, the Sai Kaleshwar Seva members, staff and devotees from all around the world.
As a result of Sri Kaleshwar’s activites, many other organizations and government agencies have implemented similar handicapped programs. In the town of Kadiri, tricycle distribution was also organized by the local MLA Mr. Jonna Ramaiah, Nallamada MLA Mr. Kadapala Mohan Reddy, Zillaparishad Vice-Chairmen Mr. Narasimhulu, the Municipal Chairmen Mr. N.M. Muzafar Ali and many others.
All these members praised Sri Kaleshwar for his kind heart towards poor people and helping the poor through his social service and charitable activities, including conducting mass marriages for the poor, organizing free eye treatments at the Navyashree Eye Hospital, constructing and engineering college for poor students and now tricycle distribution for the physically handicapped.
