I totally agree we cant have other faiths come and premote there culture at a sai centres we are an interfaith organisation we embrace all faiths like for example pastor coming to bayview sai centre to speak on sai values and teaching but instead we devotees are hearing him preach on christinity and encouraging sai follower for fellowship there anoucements being mentioned about Christian fellowship so basically it sounds like you premoting your faith and preaching at a sai centre which is incorrect the core focus must be spirituality not religion.

It is time that we do what Swami says and not what we think is right for satisfying our spritiual pride and spritiual ego. Swami says spritiual pride is the worst pride that one can possess.

I think its ridiculous to ban people from the Sai Organisation. If we devotees want to listen to the previous presidents like Dr Cooppan or Dr Reddy, who have helped us transform, then we have no access to them because they are banned from speaking at centres.

Om Sai Ram , please do not expect a response, a positive response, from the SSSIO Leadership. For there to be change, one has to evolve, have humility, Love and a deep sense of reverence for our Lord, Sri Sathya Sai Baba. to date the international Leadership, nor the South African leg have evidenced this.
Internationally, at the very doorstep of Prashanti Nilayam, is Muddenahalli -all we have heard from SSSIO is negativity, disregard, and dismissive comments.
Do they accept the many manifestations of Bhagawan Baba? Seema Dewani's contacts and communications? and many many other miracles?
Who is false? who asks for money?
A common attitude prevailing International and South Africa in SSSIO is a vengeful, off-with-the-head, punishing, excluding and don't -give-a-damn about anyone elses thinking , understanding and spiritual growth. And let's not forget their first defence is to take the legal route, shame on you. If their children go astray is this how they react?
the sole purpose of the organisation is transformation and this process will rear itself in many different ways and forms.
it is obvious that the current SSSIO is neither spiritually nor have people relationship maturity to handle issues and differences.
So please dear fellow sisters and brothers do not expect this SSSIO leadership to sit down and discuss and find resolution. It has not happened for Muddenahalli, for the many changes is SA leadership, it's not going to happen here. Like I said, to find resolution you must have humility and Love and they do not have this .
May Bhagawan Baba always be our guiding Light and eternal Love.
Love is the Source, Love is the path and Love is the Goal. JSR

That Sathya Sai units should see that no money is wasted on unnecessary ostentatious arrangements. Misuse of money is evil.There is another practise which should be discouraged. Even for carrying out very small functions money is being collected by some units.Every unit has some well to do person and if one or two of them join, many activities can be carried on without raising funds from all and sundry. Take for instance, this great World Conference at Prashanthi Nilayam. Many who do not know the facts must be wondering how much money must have been spent to finance this conference. The truth is that not a single naya paisa was collected as a donation. This Conference, which is an expression of the Love of the members, has no need for money. Everyone of you here has taken care of his or her own needs and discharged your duties without any difficulties or inconveniences.No money is needed for deriving this kind of happiness. It is deplorable to hear that in some states, even for trivial activities, funds are being collected. Even if some office beards are inclined to adopt this method, I want members not to encourage them. SSS VOL X1
