Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations – an introduction

The Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, founded by

Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in the year 1965, is a service

organisation with a spiritual core and base to benefit all mankind

irrespective of religion, caste, creed or sect. The Organisation

serves as a platform for its members to undertake service and

other activities motivated by an urge for one's own

transformation with the aim of realising one's inherent divinity.

Without any distinction of religion, nationality, race, socio-

economic status, either for those who work in the Organisation

or for those who are served by it, the Organisation transcends all

barriers leading humanity towards the ideal of 'Fatherhood of

God and Brotherhood of Man'.

The concept of fees or membership subscription is alien to

the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, for there cannot be any fee

or subscription for one's journey towards his own self.

The organisation functions through its primary units called as

Samithis and Bhajan Mandalis of which individuals - from

different strata of society, different ethnic groups pursuing

different religions and faiths -are members bound by the dictum

of “Love all, Serve All” and pursue their own sadhana towards

self-transformation following the path of selfless service to

humanity.

At no point is an individual asked to follow a certain religion

or rituals. On the contrary each is inspired to follow his own faith

so as to ensure that a Hindi becomes a better Hindu, a Muslim

becomes a better Muslim, a Christian becomes a better Christian

and so on. In fact, this spiritual basis inspires everyone to pursue

his own religion better by putting into practice Love and

Selflessness. That is why the Organisation features in its emblem

the symbols of the major religions of the world.

“The Organisations named after Me are not to be used for publicising My Name, or creating a new

cult around My worship….They must render seva (service) to the helpless, the sick, the distressed, the illiterate and the needy. Their seva (selfless service) should not be exhibitionistic; it must seek no reward, not even gratitude or thanks from the recipients. Seva is sadhana (spiritual exercise), not a pastime of the rich and well placed.

You must have the firm belief that the aim of this Organisation is to remove the obstacles that keep man away from God, that separate maanavathwa (Humanity) from Maadhavathwa (Divinity).. This Organisation must elevate the human into the Divine.”

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

WINGS OF THE ORGANISATIONS

The Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation functions

under three wings viz. (i) Spiritual, (ii) Education,

and (iii) Service.

Each activity in a wing is directed to facilitate

and help the member in his own spiritual

advancement. Although, the nature of activities

undertaken under different wings appear to be

distinct and dissimilar, but there is an inherent

interrelationship amongst all the three wings. The

three wings stand for Worship, Wisdom and Work.

Spirituality and Service are supplementary and

complementary to each other. Spirituality is the

motivational force behind service and service is the

fulfillment of spirituality. Therefore, spiritual

concepts learnt through education must be put into

practice in form of service to humanity. Thus, in

order to successfully realise the objective of joining

the Sai Organisation, one must participate in

activities of all the three wings.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE ORGANISATION

Headed by an All India President who is

supported by the National Vice Presidents and State

Presidents, the Organisation functions like a well-

oiled machine in the District under the stewardship

of the District President, focused on its purpose,

clear in its vision and dedicated in its efforts to live

up the Swami’s message – “Love All, Serve All”.

The Samithis and the Bhajan Mandalis

constitute a genuine spiritual movement where the

members are united by a common bond – Love for

God and Service to fellow human beings.

The members of the organisation work as one

cohesive unit, whether as sevadals providing

service at Prashanthi Nilayam, at medical camps,

doing Narayan seva or the bal-vikas gurus who

work with young children to inspire in them a desire

to inculcate the five human values of Truth,

Righteousness, Love, Peace and Non-violence, or

the teachers who having undergone the training in

EHV help in guiding the young minds towards the

higher goals of life or the Sai Youth who work

tirelessly in the Sri Sathya Sai Village Integrated

Programme and Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Jyoti

Programme – each of them are bound by one goal –

“Service to Man is Service to God”.
