Sai Organization - Sai Spiritual Education
"Sathya Sai Spiritual Education
(Bal Vikas) is the primary basis of the great
movement to restore righteousness (Dharma) in the
world. The ideal of the Sai Spiritual Education
program is to raise a generation of boys and girls
who have a clean and clear conscience. The actual
syllabus is not so important as the creation of an
atmosphere where noble habits and ideals can grow
and fructify."
- Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba at Bal Vikas Teachers
Training Camp, June 1978
Mission Statement & Vision
To elicit the infinite knowledge,
wisdom, character and Divinity within each
individual, society and the international community.
The vision of the National Education Wing is to
integrate the five human values in all aspects of
the organization through the process of Sathya Sai
Educare (EHV).
SSE (EHV) Class Activities
The five human values of Truth, Right Action, Peace,
Love and Nonviolence are the pillars of the Sai
Spiritual Education program. Each class is on one
particular aspect of the five values, and that
topic, for example kindness, should be absorbed into
the child's mind in various ways, so that they start
or continue to practice it in their daily lives and
to recognize it in others. Typically each
incorporates following components:
Silent sitting -
a few minutes of silent or guided meditation allows
the child to concentrate better
Quotation - from
Swami, which fits in with the theme of the class
Bhajan -
Children join together in learning a bhajan. This
instills peace and joy.
Story - this is
usually a time for the children to listen and learn,
capturing their imagination and promoting
discussion. The story gives a clear idea of how and
why we should practice the value in question.
Group Activity -
An opportunity for the children to have fun together
while reinforcing the theme of the class.
Life Application
- incorporating their new understandings into their
daily life
