"After having got this most fortunate human birth, wasting it is a very huge mistake. Naturally, you have to do spiritual practices and sadhana. You should also do service and naamasmaranaa (chanting God's name); by doing all this if you don't know or realise your own inner divinity, then everything is a waste!"
                                                                                                                     - Baba

Indian Premier inaugurates Sri Sathya Sai Sowbhagyam - Centre for Human Development

Sunday, the 21 of February, 2016 will be etched as a red-letter-day in the history of the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital at Naya Raipur, Chhattisgarh, in Central India. The Premier of the Nation came to pay his obeisance to Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, and inaugurated the Sri Sathya Sai Sowbhagyam – Centre for Human Development.

Shortly after 9 am, Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi arrived at the hall that looked celestial, with the multitude of tiny little lights, about 5000 of them, shining forth like stars on the Pentagon shaped roof. He was accompanied by Dr Raman Singh, Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh and Sri Venkaiah Naidu, Union Minister for Urban Development, Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation, Parliamentary Affairs, and was led by Sri C Sreenivas, Chairman of the Sri Sathya Sai Health and Education Trust. The hall was packed with about 500 specially invited devotees and staff, who had all gathered in Baba’s divine presence to witness the inauguration of Sri Sathya Sai Sowbhagyam, and a beautifully sculpted statue of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

Bharath Bhagya Vidhatha

Bhagawan's contribution towards providing integral education and quality healthcare, absolutely free-of-cost, stands out as a beacon of hope and succor to many.

The Sathya Sai System of Integral Education creates strong individuals with social responsibility, professional excellence and individual character, thus paving the way for the rise of the nation.

 

Bhagawan has also emphasized the need to provide inclusive healthcare, in addition to free healthcare - to provide services to ALL, irrespective of caste, religion, region and nationality.
