Who is Sri Sathya Sai Baba?
“I have come to light the lamp of Love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added luster. I have not come on behalf of any exclusive religion. I have not come on a mission of publicity for a sect or creed or cause, nor have I come to collect followers for a doctrine. I have no plan to attract disciples or devotees into my fold or any fold. I have come to tell you of this unitary faith, this spiritual principle, this path of Love, this virtue of Love, this duty of Love, this obligation of Love.” – July 4th 1968, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Frequently Asked Questions
To further enhance the Sai Mission by formally uniting Sai organizations under one umbrella. Prior to the 2011 Mahasamadhi, Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s physical presence guided and connected all who reported to him from Prashanti Nilayam. An organization bearing the Sri Sathya Sai Baba name naturally should be based out of, connected with, and guided from Prashanti Nilayam. Thus, the formation of the SSSGC, which is comprised of leaders from around the world organized within a transparent, fair, and balanced structure. Please refer to the Terms of Reference document for further details.
The following website has been set up for access to announcements and updates: https://www.sssgc-zone1.org
Anyone can register to join SSSGC by clicking: SSSGC Registration Link.
This will allow:
- individuals to register and be connected to a nearby SSSGC center/group or
- individuals to sign up for a virtual SSSGC center/group
- a group of 5 or more individuals to come together to form a new SSSGC center/group
- an existing center/group where most officers and members wish to sign up with SSSGC.
The foremost principle for the SSSGC is to follow the guidance and directives of Sri Sathya Sai Baba. He has clearly indicated that the organization is for all individuals who wish to grow spiritually. The universal human values of Truth, Right Action, Peace, Love and Non- Violence along with the message of “Love All, Serve All” should be the constant, unchanging base for all centers. The language, culture, traditions, religious expressions and rituals should adapt for the benefit of the local community.
By educating our members regarding the universal teachings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba. By following the clear instructions Baba has given over the years in HIs writings, discourses, and interviews. By fostering empathy for all and acknowledging that the need of the hour for entire humanity is exposure to Baba’s teachings.
No. Of course, there are many wonderful spiritual organizations around the world doing wonderful work, but if functioning as an officer in the SSSGC, one should not have an official position or responsibility to another spiritual organization to avoid any potential conflict or confusion.
The membership of the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation of India alone contains, by number, over 90% of all Sai Organizational devotees. When combining with those individuals affiliated with the institutions managed by the central trust, along with the large number of SSSGC aligned centers worldwide, well over 95% of Sai organizational devotees on earth are under the umbrella of the SSSGC.
The young adult age range in the SSSGC will be from 18-35. This is a request we have received from numerous devotees over the years. Prior to 2011 when Swami was present in the physical body, 35 was the upper age limit for the YA’s. Also, the Indian organization has maintained the upper limit of 35 as well.
SSSGC centers and groups welcome all to their devotional, educational and service programs. They do not have to be devotees of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, nor do they have to be members to participate. However, if one is to become an official member or officer in the SSSGC, they should not be a member of any other Sai organizational group.
Continue to put in to practice Sri Sathya Sai’s teaching in every aspect of our lives. Continue all the wonderful service work and spiritual practices you have always done at the center. Nothing changes except now we are united as an even larger Sai Family.
