ABOUT SAI ORG

The Sathya Sai Organization is a spiritual organization founded for the benefit of all mankind. It makes no distinction or separateness on the basis of religion, nationality, colour or creed. All around the world, members of Sathya Sai Centres, consisting of people of many different faiths and ethnic groups, are seeking spiritual upliftment through dedicating their time and energies for the betterment of mankind.

The fundamental objective of the Organization as laid down by Sai Baba, is to "Awaken in man the awareness of the Divinity inherent in him" by propagating, through practice and example, the basic principles of Truth (Sathya), Righteousness (Dharma), Peace (Shanti), Love (Prema) and Non-Violence.

Baba says that "I have not come to destroy or disturb your faith or vocation. I desire to confirm your faith and sublimate your desires. I have come to make everyone realize the One God within each, to urge everyone to live in Peace, Harmony and Love and to prompt everyone to strive for the happiness of one another". "I have come to reconstruct the ancient highway to God. My task is spiritual regeneration of humanity through truth and love."

The Organization is there to serve as a vehicle for people to carry out spiritual and service activities so as to uplift themselves. In the company of others who are on a like spiritual path, it helps one to become aware of the omnipresent responsive force operating in our daily lives. One is thereby enabled to find inner peace, notwithstanding the stresses and strains, defeats and success, the ups and downs of life, and eventually to discover one's own innate divinity and regain self-confidence and faith in God.

The Sathya Sai Organization is not an evangelical or proselytising organization.
