Spiritual Wing

Sri Sathya Sai Baba outlines the importance of spirituality through true devotion:

“To realise the Supreme, the path of devotion is the only royal road. It is the panacea for all worldly ailments and for the disease of birth and death. Devotion is the most effective means for awakening the spiritual urge.” (Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol 29, Ch 34: 17 August 1996)

With devotion as the foundation, the spiritual wing provides seekers with the environment, techniques, and materials to fulfil their spiritual goals and aspirations and to become aware of their own divine nature. This is done by participating in devotional activities such as group chanting and singing, study circles, meditation, interfaith activities and keeping company with like-minded individuals.

Members of the Sri Sathya Sai Organisation follow the five basic human values of love, truth, right conduct, peace, and non-violence, as well as the nine point code of conduct, to uplift themselves spiritually and lead purpose driven lives.

The activities of the Spiritual Wing form some of the most fundamental pillars of the Sri Sathya Sai Organisation. Powerful and profound, the spiritual wing represents all faiths and delivers upliftment at multiple levels through its activities.

This originates in the heart; it purifies the mind, body and soul and; it results in harmony and joy. Whereas singing alone benefits the individual singer, group devotional singing amplifies the divine vibrations so more significant benefits are received by all attendees. Weekly bhajans in Sai Centres are supplemented by longer sessions for special occasions such as: praising the glory of Lord Shiva over 3, 6 or 12 hours during Maha Shivratri; revering multiple faiths over 6 hours or 24 hours for Sai Smaran and Global Akhanda Bhajans.
