Deepavali Celebrations
November 2, 2021
Sathya Sai Grama
Global Akhanda Bhajans
November 13 - 14, 2021
The festivities for beloved Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba's 96th Birthday Celebrations began with the Global Akhanda Bhajans which commenced on the evening of November 13, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. IST. The auspicious evening was initiated with a lamp lighting ceremony, followed by mellifluous bhajans.
Devotees came together as one Divine family and sang the Lord's glories wholeheartedly and joyfully, radiating Divine Love to all!
The devotional bhajans were deeply moving and a blissful experience to all gathered online or in the physical presence of Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai. All age groups participated enthusiastically through the night and day-long session which concluded with a bhajan medley!
Among things conducive to Liberation, devotion holds the supreme place. The seeking of one’s real nature is designated as devotion.
Children's Day
November 14, 2021
As a tribute to India's first prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Children's Day is observed on November 14th every year.
 
Pandit Nehru is known for his love for children. He once stated: "Today's children will shape tomorrow's India. The manner in which we raise children will determine the country's future."
 
Anyone who participates in providing the right education to children from rural and low-income families is living a life of service to God. Such a person will be benefited, purified and sanctified by his noble act. Similar to how the Ganga originates in the Himalayas and flows through several states before returning to the ocean, we have initiated a Ganga of education that will flow across the country and serve thousands of children. - Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai
Sathya Sai Grama
96th Birthday Celebrations for
Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba 

November 17 - 23, 2021
the eternal way of life proclaims with an unshakeable conviction that the changeless, ever existing, ever conscious and ever expansive
truth IS without a beginning and an end
The week-long, 96th Birthday Celebrations of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba paid rich homage to His life of Love in Action; the love that spontaneously emanated from feeling the oneness with all and thus serving the other as His own Self. His life is our message and, in His footsteps, Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai is our guiding mentor whose life is our message too!

International Conference
on the Future of Medical Education

November 21 - 22, 2021
The University is determined to reverse the current trends of commercialization of knowledge, and herald a new goal of divinization of humans by teaching sciences alongside spirituality, humanities alongside divinity, and excellence alongside enlightenment.
Poverty in many nations results from high out-of-pocket health expenses, now perpetuated by the commercialization of medical education itself and not just medical care.
Sessions 1 and 2 focused on undergraduate medical education, as well as postgraduate medical training and research.

Sarvaṁ khalvidaṁ Brahma - All is Divine - is the supreme law that was discovered by the seers of the most ancient Indian civilization in their highest state of absorption. This changeless and eternal principle of all existence is the ultimate truth and it is the only answer to every possible question that was and that will ever be asked by anyone on this planet! This eternal law is Sanātana Dharma which naturally includes every inanimate object too, as an expression of the same divinity.
