Happy Diwali

October 22, 2022

Sri Sathya Sai Trust For Universal Welfare wishes you a hearty, blissful and prosperous Diwali! We pray that you and your family are always filled with smiles and happiness!

On this glorious occasion of Diwali, Bhagawan Baba has shared His Benedictory Message to one and all:

'Deepavali is a festival which is designed to celebrate the suppression of the Ego by the Higher Self. Man is plunged in the darkness of ignorance and has lost the power of discrimination between the permanent and the evanescent. When the darkness of ignorance caused by Ahamkara (the ego-feeling) is dispelled by the light of Divine knowledge, the effulgence of the Divine is experienced.'

With Love,

Clothing Machines for Soothing Hearts - Empowering women & Creating Livelihood

October 15, 2022

Indian woman, an epitome of Selfless Love and patience, is an icon of Values-based Living. Protecting their self respect and character has been the top most priority for them. In this vast country of ours preserving this culture has indeed become a big challenge for such a woman. Country today has many a household that are dependent on a woman as the single bread earner for many reasons. Unable to make ends meet, these lamps of sacrifice that are to shed the Light of joy are unfortunately leading their lives in darkness of suffering haunted by hunger, malnutrition, ill health etc. We cannot leave them in lurch-leading their lives in a pathetic way.

1 Year Of Divya Prasada Seva

September 20, 2022

Today marks the 365th day of the night hunger alleviation programme of Divya Prasada Seva. Called as competition-less seva, this programme aims to provide relief to the needy, who are unable to get access to food in the night. While the day time sees selfless samaritans provide support to the needy, it is the dinner meal gap that this seva aims to bridge.

Daily, over 120 Madhukaris (beneficiaries) are provided with a dinner meal that changes everyday with a unique 7-day menu. The seva has seen a large amount of transformation in the Madhukaris, many of who try to pay it forward by serving in their capacity. Some are now able to seek a livelihood now that they are assured of a meal at night.

We thank the annapoornis (cooking volunteers) and the distribution team of volunteers for their consistent and selfless efforts to ensure that the needy go to sleep with the bliss of a filled stomach.

Sri Sathya Sai Trust For Universal Welfare expresses its deep gratitude to all patrons for the unswerving support towards the seva. We pray to Bhagawan Baba to bless everyone involved in the seva.

Happy Onam

September 8, 2022

Onam has a great significance for mankind to follow. Lord Narayana incarnated as Vamana, not to destroy Maharaja Bali, but to bless him with the highest. When Vamana assumed the Trivikrama Form and measured the earth and the sky in 2 steps, Maharaja Bali offered his head for the third step that he had promised the young Vamana. This relieved Maharaja Bali from the cycle of birth and death - the highest blessing that any Jeevatma can aspire for. Bali prayed to the Lord to allow him to come to his land one day every year, which today, translates to Onam Celebrations. Thus, Onam reminds us to surrender ourselves to the Lord, which alone can grant us the highest purpose of our lives.

Sri Sathya Sai Trust For Universal Welfare wishes you and your family a happy and prosperous Onam!

Happy Teachers' Day

We offer our humble pranams to the wonderful and selfless teachers, who are shaping the future blocks of our Nation.
