Sai Organization - Devotional Services
“Devotion is one of the three wings of the Sai Organization (the other two being selfless service (seva) and education in human values). This page will discuss various aspect of the devotion program, which includes devotional singing (bhajans), study circles, prayers, and meditation.”
- Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Devotional Activities
The Sathya Sai Baba
Organization provides many activities for participants to enable
them to achieve the goal of life. Common to all activities,
(service, spiritual effort and education in human values) is the
cultivation of the understanding of our own nature, and of our
goal in life. Both these aims are achieved in the Sai
Organization by strengthening our capacity to love all people in
every different station in life, and to love people of different
races, castes, creeds and religions.
To this end, in the Sai Organization, the spiritual wing
provides spiritual activities such as devotional singing, weekly
readings from Sai literature, study circle and reflection,
meditation, regional workshops on various spiritual topics, the
company of the good and godly, prayers and unity of faiths
events.
Take up Spiritual Activity
Sathya Sai Baba advises us that it is our duty to take up
spiritual activities and to show the rising generation of youth
by our lives that spiritual effort and study have made us more
joyful and courageous in the adventure called life. Children and
youth learn from the behavior of parents, and always imitate
their elders. A good example by their elders leads to this
behavior being emulated by the children.
Sai Baba teaches us that it is the responsibility of all pious
men and women, parents and grandparents, to demonstrate in and
through their lives that piety is not weakness but strength;
that it opens up a vast spring of power and that a person with
faith in God can overcome obstacles much more easily than a
person who does not have faith in God.
