Resolutions of the 10th World Conference

We are pleased to offer 32 items in the Conference Resolutions at the divine lotus feet of Bhagawan. These action items, recommendations and directions will help not only Sathya Sai devotees, but all spiritual aspirants and new-comers to realise the full potential of the Sathya Sai Avatar’s teachings and divine guidance.

We examined three main aspects of an ideal Sathya Sai Centre, which is the nucleus of the SSIO all over the world. The centres function is to help office-bearers, devotees and new-comers realise their innate divinity, following Baba’s teachings.

The leaders of SSIO should be exemplars of Sathya Sai’s teachings. They should practice the human values and lead by personal example.

Sathya Sai educational programmes spread Swami’s eternal and universal message to the young and the old, in many lands and cultures, to people of diverse faiths and backgrounds. It unites all, under the common umbrella of the five human values – supported by Love.

Women are the pillars of society. Their role is often not understood properly or overlooked. Swami has reminded us to give prominent attention to the role of women, for the highest good of all.

The youth are the future of the world, and Bhagawan put a lot of emphasis on developing the youth at an early age, so that they can become men and women of exemplary character.

In this day and age, it is important to practice Swami’s advice of “head in the forest and hands in the society” for inner peace and harmony to cope with the challenges of modern society.   



This is an important initiative of the SSIO in sharing Bhagawan’s teachings with one and all. Baba directed the SSIO and all His devotees to spread His message and help others move forward on their spiritual journey.

  1. Ideal Sathya Sai Centre

We examined three main aspects of an ideal Sathya Sai Centre, which is the nucleus of the SSIO all over the world. The centres function is to help office-bearers, devotees and new-comers realise their innate divinity, following Baba’s teachings.

    1. Centres need to host activities to intensify personal Sadhana.

    2. Centres need to conduct study circles to deepen the understanding of Bhagawan’s teachings. 

    3. Centres need to reflect the universality of Sathya Sai’s message through appropriate music and devotional singing.



  1. Leadership in the SSIO

The leaders of SSIO should be exemplars of Sathya Sai’s teachings. They should practice the human values and lead by personal example.

    1. The officers should conduct regular meetings with members to increase awareness of SSIO structures and its activities globally.

    2. Delegates should present reports in their respective centres of the inspirational stories and projects from the conference and workshops to motivate others and offer opportunities.

      • Affability (be cheerful with a positive attitude).

  1. Educational Programmes

Sathya Sai educational programmes spread Swami’s eternal and universal message to the young and the old, in many lands and cultures, to people of diverse faiths and backgrounds. It unites all, under the common umbrella of the five human values – supported by Love.

    1. ISSEs and Sathya Sai Schools should make greater use of technology for public outreach, educational videos and sharing of resources. 

    2. Educational material in human values and other SSE resources should be translated into more languages for local use. 

    3. The education committee of the SSIO should assist in developing and offering parenting programmes for Sathya Sai Schools, as well as SSE and SSEHV communities.

  1. Role of Women in SSIO

Women are the pillars of society. Their role is often not understood properly or overlooked. Swami has reminded us to give prominent attention to the role of women, for the highest good of all.

    1. All family members should recognise and respect women. 

    2. Women should identify ways to build self-confidence and be exemplars of Sai Teachings to inspire children and others to become good citizens.

    4. Women should take up the role of SSE teachers as recommended by Baba.

  1. Role of youth in SSIO

The youth are the future of the world, and Bhagawan put a lot of emphasis on developing the youth at an early age, so that they can become men and women of exemplary character.

    1. Youth are our future leaders. SSIO should empower the youth to shoulder more responsibilities. Youth, should be encouraged to participate in the Sathya Sai International Youth Leadership Programme, which should also be replicated at national and local levels.

  1. Balancing Family, Career and the SSIO

In this day and age, it is important to practice Swami’s advice of “head in the forest and hands in the society” for inner peace and harmony to cope with the challenges of modern society.   

    1. SSIO member should give priority to Swami and His work and dedicate all actions as an offering to God. We should conduct a daily audit of our activities to ensure there is no wastage of time, energy or resources.

    2. SSIO members should try to see God in all aspects of their life – family, work and SSIO.

    3. SSIO members should always remember that Swami is the doer and that He has given us a blessed opportunity to be an instrument of His.

  1. Public Outreach

This is an important initiative of the SSIO in sharing Bhagawan’s teachings with one and all. Baba directed the SSIO and all His devotees to spread His message and help others move forward on their spiritual journey.

    1. There is a need for more interfaith activities, e.g. devotional singing, seminars, service activities, drama festivals, choirs and orchestras that reflect the rich tapestry of faiths.

    2. The SSIO should hold effective public meetings to share Swami’s message and His love with local communities on a regular basis. New-comers should be welcomed and given information about SSIO activities.

    3. The SSIO should more actively engage with communities at the local, national and international levels to serve their practical needs. Online videos and public meetings are strongly recommended for enhancing community participation.

    4. The SSIO should promote Walk for Values, where it is accepted by the community. This is a fun-filled community activity, which promotes human values in a subtle way.  

  1. Effective and loving communication in the SSIO

    1. SSIO officers should remember that when we speak to others, we are speaking to God, the Sai within. We should practice active listening.

    2. We should respect other person’s opinion and practice “first understanding and then adjustment”. Personal communications are preferred to emails for resolving difference of opinions.

    3. Important news and information should be shared with internal and external groups in a timely manner with good audio-visual materials. SSIO should document and publicise centre, regional and national activities in a professional manner so that they are suitable for sharing with the general public. 

  2. Selfless service

    1. Healthcare, education, and other committee should share their best practices of local, national and global service initiatives to motivate others.

    2. Disaster Relief teams should conduct ongoing training programmes for disaster relief management and maintain certification efforts.

    3. Sathya Sai Centres should increase efforts to protect Mother Earth by bringing more go-green practices (recycle, reuse, reduce) at the Centre and all SSIO events, and by encouraging group prayers.

    4. SSIO should create a database of skilled and interested volunteers at local, national and global level for the different service initiatives.

I have a "Task":
To foster all mankind and ensure for all of them lives full of ananda (bliss). I have a "Vow":
To lead all who stray away from the straight path again into goodness and save them.
I am attached to a "work" that I love: To remove the sufferings of the poor and grant them what they lack. I have a "reason to be proud", for I rescue all who worship and adore me, aright.
I have my definition of the "devotion" I expect: Those devoted to me have to treat joy and grief, gain and loss, with equal fortitude. This means that I will never give up those who attach themselves to me.
