From the shrine of the Christian faith, one may traverse into an entirely different realm where people revere one as the living God. Bhagwan Satya Sai Baba and his popularity have transformed a nondescript village into an international centre for learning. Puttaparti in Anantapur district can be reached from Tirupati, Hyderabad or even Bangalore. There is an airstrip at Puttaparti too and a large number of domestic as well as international travellers use the flights landing there, a trip to Puttaparti would necessarily be with a view to having a "Darshan" of the Swami.
There is an airstrip with regular Indian Airlines flights. Bangalore is just 250 km away. The nearest railhead is Dharmavaram 30 km and the district headquarters of Anantapur is 70 km from Prashanti Nilayam.
