Loving and Humble salutations at the Divine Lotus Feet of our beloved Bhagavan. Thiruvallur district has blessed by Bhagavan to be a part of His mission, from quite an early period.

SSSSO Thiruvallur district has been actively conducting various activities of different wings of SSSSO and an early adopter of many programmes introduced by State / National offices.

The district has been uniquely blessed with largest number of trust properties in the state, and thus positioned to undertake spiritual / social-welfare activities without any encumbrances.

Regular spiritual activities including Bhajan, Nagar Sankirthan, Study circle, various Poojas are being conducted at Samithi as well as public places like temples, etc. The Samithis also arrange spiritual programmes like Namasankirthan, speeches, etc. by well-known personalities at public places.

Thiruvallur district has been blessed by Bhagavan to undertake “Parthi Yatra” regularly and we recently visited Parthi, as a district, during 16th February 2019. The Veda-chanting and Bhajans rendered by district members were appreciated by many ashram inmates.

Thiruvallur has been one of the leading districts when it comes to ‘SanatanaSarathi’ subscription base. Also, books published by State BPT have been regularly put for sale in various Samithis and also at district level events.

In educational wing, the district has been blessed with dedicated Balvikas gurus, with whose untiring efforts, many residential and school Balvikas units teach Education in Human Values as directed by Bhagavan. There are regular trainings / refresher courses being conducted for gurus to enable them tackle modern-day challenges. Balvikas students of this district regularly bag prizes at State-level Talent Search and other events. Balvikas alumni have been actively leading and participating in Samithi activities.

On the medical front, this district has been blessed by mobile medical unit and mobile medical camps have been conducted at two places, Kavarapettai and Red Hills, which benefit more than 700 patients every month. Sevadals (gents and mahilas) of this district have been given an opportunity to render Seva in Omanthur Govt. hospital, Chennai every week. Recently, this district has been blessed with conducting of “Sai Kripa” medical camp at Ambattur Samithi premises every week. Apart from these, regular general / specialist medical camps are being conducted at various places.

We pray Bhagavan to bless us with more opportunities and be humble instruments in His Divine Mission. Sri Sat hya Sai SevaOrganisations – an I ntroduction

The Sri Sathya Sai SevaOrganisations, founded by Bh Bhagawanagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in the year 1965, is a service organisatioorganisationn with a spiritual core and base to benefit all mankimankindnd irrespective of religion, caste, creed or sect. The Organisation serves as a platform for its members to undertake sserviervicece and other activities motiv ated by an urge for one's own transformation with the aim of realising one's inheinherentrent divinity.

The concept of fees or membership subscription is alien to the Sri Sathya Sai SevaOrganisations, for there cannot be any fee or subsc ription for one's journey towards his own self.

At no point is an individual asked to follow a certcertainain religion or rituals. On the contrary each is inspired to follow his own faith so as to ensure that a Hindi becomes a better HinduHindu,, a Muslim becomes a better Muslim, a Christian becomes a bettbetterer Christian and so on. In fact, this spiritual basis insinspirespires everyone to pursue his own re ligion better by putting into practice Love and Selflessness. That is why the OrgOrganianisationsation features in its emblem the symbols of the major relreligigionsions of the world.
