You need not be wealthy to build houses for the needy!
Service may be rendered in any form; yet the act of empathising with the misery of our fellow beings and acting to alleviate it through self-sacrifice
The Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, founded by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in the 1960s, is a service organisation with a spiritual core and base to benefit all mankind irrespective of religion, caste, creed or sect. The Organisation serves as a platform for its members to undertake service and other activities as their sadhana (spiritual discipline) which is motivated by an urge for self-transformation to realise one’s inherent divinity.
The Divine Charter, as it is commonly called, forms the very fundamental essence and the basis for the existence and functioning of the organisation. Its universal spirit suffused by unsullied and supreme Love engulfs within itself the entire Humanity without any discrimination based on caste, colour, creed or any other criteria whatsoever, with only one vision and one mission – to enable man to realise his innate Divinity which is quintessentially his core nature and origin!
“You must have the firm belief that the aim of this Organisation is to remove the obstacles that keep man away from God, that separate maanavathwa (humanity) from Maadhavathwa (Divinity). There can be no human; it is all Divine. This Organisation must elevate the human into the Divine.”
– Sri Sathya Sai
“All service should be regarded as an offering to God and every opportunity to serve should be welcomed as a gift from God. When service is done in this spirit, it will lead in due course to self-realisation.”

Rendering Seva is about selflessness and love for the Supreme. The Supreme can be perceived in a form or formless, with attributes or without attributes.
The coveted hamlet chosen as his birthplace and abode.
A village that would not even witness a bullock cart plying in the early 1920s, today stands as one of the foremost spiritual centres in the world, where all religions converge into one religion – the religion of Love. As the name suggests, it is the abode of ‘Prashanthi’ – Supreme Peace.
