Monthly Global Newsletter
Please Read Here - A beautifully illustrated Newsletter that includes a message from Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai, News from Centers for Human Development in all 4 Regions of the world, Lessons for Life from the Master Himself and Personal Articles on Inner Journey from Swami's notable Instruments! 
Help has no eyes, it has only heart and hands. It only knows to serve the needy, known or unknown, seen or unseen. This June edition of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ is again a testimony to the ideals of love and service that inspired all the devotees around the world as they went out of their way to help the ones in need. The legacy of Sri Sathya Sai, that of ‘Love All - Serve All’ is the ‘be all and end all’ of all that can ever be said for the welfare of the world. This timeless message shall inspire us till the end of eternity. - Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai
World Environment Day
June 5, 2021
All that trees take from us is water. But in return, they give us so much! We get pranavayu (oxygen), shade, fruits, flowers, leaves and more from healthy trees. Birds flock to places where there is greenery as trees are their ashraya (shelter). An environment filled with the chirping of birds adds to the beauty of the surroundings. There are immense health benefits too for the inhabitants of such surroundings.
 
To have a prosperous future, we need rich vegetation. Man is not only dependent on other human beings; he is also dependent on trees, birds, mother earth, water, fire…. The beauty of nature is that everything is interdependent. We must respect everything around us and use them with care. Nothing must go wasted. - 𝐒𝐚𝐝𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐮 𝐒𝐫𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐢
 
This World Environment Day, may we pledge to grow more trees, protect and preserve Mother Nature and the Environment.

Continued Relief Support for Cyclone Victims
Relief kitchens received support for over 4,000 meals in cyclone hit islands of Sunderbans in Coastal West Bengal.

It has been challenging for families in these areas to cook in their mud huts which have either submerged or are in difficult situations. Packed dry food packets with Puffed Rice, Flattened Rice, Jaggery, ORS (Oral Rehydration Solutions), Milk Powder and Biscuits for children, Clothes, Sanitary Napkins along with sanitation materials are being provided in an attempt to save precious lives.
BNI Connect (Business Network International, an online social media platform) has played a pivotal role in connecting two like-minded institutions and has brought about a meaningful impact in the lives of these destitute families. Team Aarogya Vahini humbly strengthened the ongoing service of providing meals for 400 villagers everyday through these kitchens.
Aarogya Vahini reached the remote islands of Sunderbans at Sonargao, Chandipur, Masjidbati and Kachukhali by boats. In their commitment towards sustained support to the cyclone hit communities in the coastal belts, they provided a 5-day supply of Rice, Pulses, Edible Oil, Potatoes, Soyabean and Salt to the relief kitchens operated by Notun Jibon Foundation in Chandipur and Masjidbati.  View Video Here
