Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s Gift of Unique Education to Karnataka State Sri Sathya Sai Loka Seva Group of Institutions
SSSLSGI 1
Divine Message of Sri Sathya Sai Baba
‘Saa Vidyaa Yaa Vimuktaye’ - True education is for liberation! What does it mean? There are many types of education. Music is one; sports is also a type of education; science is another; literature is yet another; painting is one more type of education. But the best among all types of education is ‘Atma Vidya’ (spiritual education) – the knowledge of one’s Atma or Self ! The goal of all kinds of education is to learn Atma Vidya or Self-knowledge (spiritual education)! How is it ? All types of knowledge have emanated from God; they are not human creations.
You may be a doctor; but you have not created the plants or chemicals from which medicines are made! You may be an engineer; but you have not created the resources found in the earth, water, fire, wind or sky! You may be a farmer; but you have not created the seed! You may be a painter; but you have not created the colours! You may be a musician; but you have not created the sound! Finally, you may be a Guru or a teacher; but you have not created knowledge! Thus, the fundamental basis of all kinds of knowledge is Atma Jnana or Self- Knowledge. We are only using the materials created by God; but we cannot create them! This little logic is testimony to the existence of God! We are only learning how to utilise the materials available in creation and not putting in even a little effort to know who created them. True education is to know who the Creator is! Atma Vidya or Self Knowledge (spiritual education) is more important than all kinds of worldly education. The chief purpose of Swami in establishing educational institutions is to teach spiritual education more importantly than worldly education. SSSLSGI 2

The credit of establishing the first educational institution based on teachings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba goes to late Sri Madiyala Narayana Bhat, lovingly called as ‘Anna’ – the elder brother, by his students and followers. He established Sri Sathya Sai Loka Seva High School at Alike, his birthplace, a remote village in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka State way back in 1961. Later he also established another institution at Muddenahalli (in Chikkaballapura District), the birthplace of Bharatratna Dr. M. Vishveshwaraya, the famous engineer-statesman. The alumni of these institutions who were taught both Sri Madiyala Narayana Bhat (1927-1977) ‘Loka Vidya’ and ‘Atma Vidya’ under the guidance of Founder President their fulltime dedicated teachers have come together to Sri Sathya Sai Loka Seva Educational Institutions share their inspirational education by replicating such Alike - Muddenahalli idealistic and value based educational institutions in rural Karnataka. Alumni and alumnae of Sathya Sai Institutions established by Bhagawan Baba have also joined in this noble mission. Brilliant Intellect The unique feature of these institutions is that high quality ‘man-making’ education is imparted totally free of any fees or charges so that even the deprived and the needy children can also get this kind of Compassionate Competent complete education. These institutions are already Heart Hands contributing their mite to the cause of nation building by creating strong individuals with a brilliant intellect, compassionate heart and competent hands. This brochure gives photo glimpses of twenty four schools and colleges already functioning in fourteen campuses spread over nine districts of Karnataka. About 3500 boys and 1500 girls are studying in these institutions. SSSLSGI 4

The mission of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is to transform individuals through values-based education, with an emphasis on character moulding along with academic excellence. Bhagawan Baba benevolently propagated that education is not just for earning money, but for Atma Kalyana through Loka Kalyana (spiritual sadhana by striving for the well-being of mankind). Bhagawan established many educational institutions to impart this eternal truth. This inspirational educational initiative being offered completely FREE, redefines the Right of Education to all, in times to come. We, the Chidren for Sathya Sai, the alumni and alumnae of Sri Sathya Sai Educational Institutions, beneficiaries of this values-based education, feel humbled by the grace bestowed on us to provide this gift of education to our younger sisters and brothers. ‘Each One Educate One’ (E1E1) is a noble act of Children for Sathya Sai, to shoulder the responsibility of providing free values-based education to the students joining these educational institutions.
