Founded by Sri Sathya Sai Baba in the 1960s, the Sri Sathya Sai Organisation United Kingdom (SSSO UK) is a multifaith, spiritual and humanitarian organisation with Sathya Sai Centres spanning across the UK. These centres provide a focal point for each member of the organisation to congregate on a weekly/monthly basis for regular worship as well as to participate in spiritual and service activities at a local level.

The organisation provides a platform for members of all ages, faiths, cultures, nationalities and ethnic groups to come together for the single cause of serving humanity as part of their spiritual transformation. They live and breathe in the belief that: “Service to man is service to God”. The centres are open to all and provide an environment conducive to leading a spiritual and value-based life.

What is the Aim of the Organisation?

The aim of the organisation is to help each member to realise the divinity inherent within them. This is done through the spiritual, service, educational and young adult activities that take place within each centre. The organisation also aims to serve society and promote the harmony of all religions and unity of faiths.
