UPDATE
Sri Sathya Sai Sarla Memorial Hospital

Sathya Sai Grama, Muddenahalli
The Sri Sathya Sai Sarla Memorial Hospital, a health care initiative by Prashanthi Balamandira Trust, is a multi-disciplinary hospital established at Sathya Sai Grama, Muddenahalli in the district of Chikkaballapur, Karnataka in South India.
  

The OPD (Out Patient Department) services in the Sri Sathya Sai Sarla Memorial Hospital have begun in full swing. The next phases of this rapidly evolving project are the following:
 
1. Commencement of construction of the Sri Sathya Sai Rajeswari Memorial Block in October which will serve as a free medical college.

2. Commencement of pediatric cardiac surgeries in association with Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospitals in November.
When the entire hospital was conceptualised by Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai for helping out the most needy section of the society, it looked like a dream far from human reach. But with passing time and collective efforts of several selfless souls, the hospital today, stands tall as a testimony to the power of Love and Selflessness!

Teacher's Day
September 5, 2021


When the love of teachers mingles with the love of students, that love becomes selfless and sacred. If children are to be transformed, teachers first need to undergo transformation.
A teacher can be said to have done his or her duty only when he/she has given up all self-interest and selfishness and showers love on children without any expectation. The only desire a teacher should have is that all his/her students realize their true Divinity and thus find fulfilment in life.

The Army and The Navy
The Fiji Police Force, the NFA and the RFMF together with the Sai Prema Foundation will aim to create greater awareness of the prevalence and symptoms of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) among all the children of the personnel through an electronic and non-electronic medium.

This will help boost Government’s initiative and advocacy for Fijian health and wellness within the NFA and will go a long way in ensuring that the effects of exposure to smoke and hazardous materials are discovered and treated at an early stage.

The Army and the Navy are ready to assist the Foundation in every way possible so that more lives can be saved today and in the coming years.
These partnerships are a win-win for all concerned. Sai Prema Foundation will offer free medical consultations to the personnel and their families and they also aim to advocate a healthy lifestyle through various
efforts and initiatives and ensure that the necessary information about prevalence and symptoms of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is disseminated through the Fiji Police Force, the NFA and the RFMF.

DIVINE VISIT
Mahatma Gandhi Institute
of Medical Sciences, Sevagram

Wardha, Maharashtra State
On September 14, 2021, Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai visited Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (MGIMS), Sevagram, Wardha in Maharashtra State.

Sadguru Sri Madhusudhan Sai called this occasion a ‘Sangam’ (confluence) of MGIMS and Sathya Sai Baba Trust where the two entities have a similar dream of rendering service to mankind. “We have come here to learn from you, take your advice and emulate your community centric teaching. It is a lifetime opportunity to learn from a hallowed institution like MGIMS”, he expressed. He also emphasized the need for rural India education and recalled Mahatma Gandhi in Sathya Sai Baba’s words ‘Gram Seva is Ram Seva’. Swamiji also said that his organization shall continue to fund scholarships for needy MGIMS students to pursue their medical education. “You are training and teaching inspired young minds to serve on the ideals taught by Mahatma Gandhiji, which is the greatest service being rendered by your team”, he added. 
The occasion was marked by offering prayer and seeking the gracious blessings from Sri Satya Sai Baba at the institute’s Emergency Medicine Centre. 20 years ago, this center had received funding from the Satya Sai Baba Trust. Shri Dhirubhai welcomed the guests with traditional soot-gundi (khadi garland) and fondly reminisced one of his interactions with Satya Sai Baba some three decades ago. “We are extremely happy that the trust chose MGIMS as a model for inspiring medical education”, he added. “You are walking in the footsteps of Baba and we are fortunate to have your blessings today”, expressed Dr. (Mrs) P. Narang.
