 Mr. Alok Saxena Vice President - Mumbai, Sri Sathya Sai Organisations India,  and The All India Vice President Sri Sathya Sai Organizations India, Shri Nimish Pandya, said that this event will showcase to the world the message, teachings and work of Divine Master who touched the lives of millions and millions around the world and continues to do so till today. 




“Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is revered the world over by believers and non-believers alike. His devotees regard Him as the Avatar of the Age- their Divine Master who has shown them the Path of Love manifested as selfless service which subscribes to the unique philosophy that both the ‘serving’ and the 'served' are embodiments of the same Divinity, by whatever name called” said Sri Pandya.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba has spent His entire life in an unparalleled continuous endeavor to elevate man to the highest degrees of human excellence. His Universal message of human values and His  astonishing  models  of  EDUcare,  MEDIcare  and  SOCIOcare  inspire  faith  by  proving  the
action ability’ of Divine Love.  These models have stunned the most advanced economies of the world with the sheer magnitude of their work and magnificence of their philosophy.

Educare offers the most advanced education complete with contemporary academics, world renowned faculty and state-of-the-art facilities to students from all religious and economic backgrounds. The system is designed to not only elevate the students’ intellects but also to offer a deep spiritual anchor that equips them with resolute self confidence and character such that knowledge  is  used  only  for  the  benefit  of  mankind  at  large.  All  education,  from kindergarten to postgraduate studies is absolutely free of cost to students, each of whom is admitted solely on the basis of merit.

The Sri Sathya Sai Medicare Projects embody a harmonious blend of the ‘Philosophy of Healing’ with the ‘Science of Love.’ Here every doctor though distinguished in his field and equipped with state-of-the-art healthcare facilities second to none in the world, regards every patient, as an embodiment of the Divine. This is why all treatment including advanced cardiac and neurological surgeries are done completely free of cost for one and all.

In the Sri Sathya Sai Sociocare, Baba has initiated and implemented multimillion dollar Drinking Water Schemes with no government aid whatsoever, alleviating the sufferings of millions of rural Indians. He has taught people all over the world that service is not an act of philanthropy but it is a means to connect with the Divine Life Force which exists within every speck of creation. It is as much an aid for the ‘benefactor as much it is for the ‘beneficiary’

Together, Baba’s work and message signify the resoluteness of positive endeavor based on the strength of character and right action to usher the world into a new era of peace and joy. No other spiritual leader ever has had such a wide reaching, global influence which has not only shattered all barriers of religion, caste, economic status, race and nationality but also continues to inspire millions even three years after His having left His Physical Frame.
