With great reverence and love This report is dedicated at the Lotus Feet of our most beloved Lord and Master Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Foreword from the District President

On 25th May 1947, less than 3 months before achieved its Independence, Baba wrote a letter to His elder brother declaring His Mission “ I have a Task, to foster all mankind and to ensure for all of them lives full of Ananda, I have a Vow, to lead all, who stray away from the straight path, again into goodness and save them, I have a definition of Love, to redress the sufferings of the poor and needy, My pride is to save all those who worship Me with austerity and devotion and to Me, devotion means the equanimity with which people welcome both their sorrows and joys.” Thus since the age of 20 years, Bhagavan Baba had disclosed His Blueprint for Universal Peace and leading all of us who are straying from the straight path again into goodness and later gifted us with this organization bearing His name with the most fundamental objective, as laid down by Bhagavan himself. ‘to awaken in man, the awareness of the Divinity inherent in him’ by propagating through practice and examples, the basic human values of Sathya, Dharma, Shanti, Prema and Ahimsa in one’s daily life. We are doubly fortunate that we have taken birth as contemporaries of Bhagavan and being a member of this unique organization have got Lord Himself as our spiritual Guru. Bhagavan has told “My Life is My Message”. During the eighty-five years of His earthly advent, millions and millions of people have been spiritually charged and transformed by His life of love and selfless service. Bhagavan has also further added ‘Your life should be My Message’. We, the members of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation, Jagatsinghpur District has been trying our best to materialize His teachings in to practice in thought, word and deed with a motto of transforming self to transform the world. This book is an account of what we have done in the year 2018-19 in addition to the history (His Story) of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation in our district. With utmost devotion and honesty, we hold Bhagavan’s Lotus Feet and thank Him for choosing us as instruments for His Divine Mission and also indebted to Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, India as well as Odisha for giving us this opportunity for recounting our activities and looking back to the primitive stage of the organization in our district in preparing this report and offering at His Lotus Feet.

SRI SATHYA SAI SEVAORGANISATIONS– AN INTRODUCTION

The Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, founded by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in the year 1965, 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 motivated by an urge for one's own transformation with the aim of realising one's inherent divinity.

Without any distinction of religion, nationality, race, socio- economic status, either for those who work in the Organisation or for those who are served by it, the Organisation transcends all barriers leading humanity towards the ideal of 'Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man'.

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

The organisation functions through its primary units called as Samithis and Bhajan Mandalis of which individuals - from different strata of society, different ethnic groups pursuing different religions and faiths -are members bound by the dictum of “Love all, Serve All” and pursue their own sadhana towards self- transformation following the path of selfless service to humanity.

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

“The Organisations named after Me are not to be used for publicising My Name, or creating a new cult around My worship….They must render seva (service) to the helpless, the sick, the distressed, the illiterate and the needy. Their seva (selfless service) should not be exhibitionistic; it must seek no reward, not even gratitude or thanks from the recipients. Seva is sadhana (spiritual exercise), not a pastime of the rich and well placed. 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).. This Organisation must elevate the human into the Divine.”

WINGS OF THE ORGANISATIONS

The Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation functions under three wings viz. (i) Spiritual, (ii) Education, and (iii) Service.

Each activity in a wing is directed to facilitate and help the member in his own spiritual advancement. Although, the nature of activities undertaken under different wings appear to be distinct and dissimilar, but there is an inherent interrelationship amongst all the three wings. The three wings stand for Worship, Wisdom and Work.

Spirituality and Service are supplementary and complementary to each other. Spirituality is the motivational force behind service and service is the fulfillment of spirituality. Therefore, spiritual concepts learnt through education must be put into practice in the form of service to humanity. Thus, in order to successfully realise the objective of joining the Sai Organisation, one must participate in activities of all the three wings.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE ORGANISATION

Headed by an All India President who is supported by the National Vice Presidents and State Presidents, the Organisation functions like a well-oiled machine in the District under the stewardship of the District President, focused on its purpose, clear in its vision and dedicated in its efforts to live up Swami’s message – “Love All, Serve All”.

The Samithis and the Bhajan Mandalis constitute a genuine spiritual movement where the members are united by a common bond – Love for God and Service to fellow human beings.

The members of the organisation work as one cohesive unit, whether as sevadals providing service at PrashanthiNilayam, at medical camps, doing Narayan seva or the bal-vikas gurus who work with young children to inspire in them a desire to inculcate the five human values of Truth, Righteousness, Love, Peace and Non- violence, or the teachers who having undergone the training in EHV help in guiding the young minds towards the higher goals of life or the Sai Youth who work tirelessly in the Sri Sathya Sai Village Integrated Programme and Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Jyoti Programme– each of them are bound by one goal – “Service to Man is Service to God”.

THE 9 POINT CODE OF CONDUCT AND 10 PRINCIPLES

Every member of the Organisation is expected to undertake Sadhana (spiritual discipline) as an integral part of his/her daily life by abiding by the following Nine Point Code of Conduct which has been bestowed by Baba for one’s spiritual and personal development. In addition, the ten principles that forms the core of guidance for all the members of the Organisation as ordained by Baba himself are also produced hereunder. The nine point code of conduct and the ten principles are fundamental to the spiritual development of the members of the Sai Organisations.
