If only we can consider everyone as a embodiment of Divine Spirit, we can render service with zeal and vigour. In considering service we must do our best for the benefit of the served. Earlier in our Zonal meeting, our Chairman said that the Zone 3 presentation must be the BEST –Best in a special sense: B = Benefit for the served E = Enthusiasm of the Sai Sevaks S = stands for sustainability of the project T = stands for timing If we can have this in our mind all the time while planning, while serving and while evaluating our Seva projects we can achieve the best standards. What is the expectation of this workshop? Bhagavan has said, time and again that service starts with Self-proper care of the body and mind-proper care of physical and mental health. At the same time one has to do service to the parents and family-family seva. Then comes the service to the society-community seva. At the Sai organisational level, community sadhana is gaining National and soon may even reach global and universal proportions. 2. Practical considerations We have to ask ourselves three questions before we embark in Seva projects:
If the answer to 1 and 2 are yes and the answer to 3 no we have the signal to go on with it. The type of seva should be the Service of need and not a service of convenience. Swami, in the Divine Inaugural Discourse, stressed the facgt that we should do what is best for the people and what they may fancy. Service must be perfomed in an attitude of surrender, Nishkama karma and sanctified through collective and constant awareness of the Divine. Bhagavan stresses the quality of service and not the quantity. However, service done with a pure motive and good attitude is bound to produce ripples initially, which gradually can bring about great waves of change in the national scene. We may undertake any project on a national scale so as to bring about this wave of change. If the Sai sevaks can be sensitive and sensible enough to catch the indications and act according to Bhagavan’s guidelines, Sai seva will play a great role in Nation Building. Today the crying need in an affluent society is spiritual hunger. There is a need of moral regeneration by offering the food of Sai seva – Love and compassion.
I humbly dedicate this presentation and the results of this workshop to Swami, dear brothers and sisters Sai Ram. In the seva workshop yesterday evening we addressed a few topics – what is the role of service in the Sathya Sai Organisation, particular considerations and the specifics of these projects. I want Europe to hear the first two points but I will not insist on the last one which is: what are the future projects that zone 4 are going to undertake in the next three years. We can classify these projects in three categories: educare, medicare and sociocare. In the first category, educare, one very important project which will be started as soon as possible is the Sathya Sai Educare Academy. This academy is designed as a spiritual school which will spread Swami’s message into our societies. It is a very important project which will have an impact on European societies. During next September in Sweden we will be starting a Sathya Sai day school. Also in Greece a Sathya Sai Kindergarten is in full operation at the moment but we are also planning to develop this into a Primary school as soon as possible. A Sathya Sai boarding school will be started in the near future in Switzerland. In the Netherlands we are also planning a Sathya Sai day school. In Croatia a plan for human values education in Primary school will be also developed. In Netherlands and Germany a plan for after school teenagers activities will be implemented. In former Yugoslavian countries free courses for unemployed people will be developed. This project can also be classified as a sociocare activity. The last one, a ceiling on desires program will be implemented in Italian Primary schools and last, in Switzerland we will organize an EHV exhibition for teachers and parents. Now I move to the second point. Medicare: we have one project which is in Russia, we are going to organize some medical camps. The last point is sociocare: in Russia we are going to develop some program against child abuse. In Yugoslavian countries some material help will be brought, especially from Germany and Greece. Some supports to poor people will be organised from the Netherlands. In Bosnia reconstructing programs will be implemented. In Italy we are going to develop a self-help program for handicapped people, that is to say to help these people to do seva by themselves. To give them the opportunities to do seva. And the last project is a program for homeless people. This program will be developed in various European countries such as Austria, Denmark, Netherlands and Germany. So here is a brief report concerning the specific projects which are going to be implemented in European countries. Sai Ram. Sri S Perriollat ZONE 4 WORKSHOP
To change the attitude by practicing spirituality in service. Experience God in the other.
i.e. - We do not cooperate with other NGOs except in cases of natural disasters and the like. - We do not compartmentalize in wings. We only talk about activities and see service as an attitude towards life where we al cooperate.
Sri S Perriollat ZONE 5 REPORT Sri Sathya Sai Grama Seva 50 years ago, at a tender age of 12, our Bhagawan wrote a letter to his brother, where in, he declared to the whole world the very purpose of his advent and he resolved to remove all the suffering of the poor and grant them what they lack. Ever since, Bhagawan’s life has been a sagar of supreme selfless service and sacrifice. Is it ever possible to count the blessings that Bhagawan has bestowed on to humanity? Be it education for head, health for heart or water for body, Bhagawan as initiated so many projects that provide all these absolutely free and each of these projects is a boon to mankind. It is an example for the whole world to emulate in order to establish a life full of peace and harmony on Earth. The Sri Sathya Sai Grama Seva is yet another glowing example in this sagar of service and sacrifice. How did this all begin? Bhagawan expressed his immense pain over a seemingly trivial article that appeared in some column, tucked away in some paper. Possibly it would have missed anybody else’s eye, but not that of Bhagawan’s. And what this article about? About a mother and her children in some remote village. They were so poor that she was unable to feed her own children. Unable to bear the sufferings one day, the mother fed poison to her own children and consumed the same poison herself. Bhagawan was so moved with this that addressing the gathering in the Kulwant Hall he raised this question to all sitting that “can such an incident ever occur in this sacred land of Bharth?” Bhagawan says Bharath is a Punya Bhoomi, a Thyaga Bhoomi, a Karma Bhoomi, a Yoga Bhoomi and not a Bhoga Bhoomi. Have the people in this land become so merciless, so cruel that they allowed a mother and her children to die so helplessly? Have they become so merciless? Bhagawan was choked with emotions that day. It was at that instant Bhagawan resolved to bring support to all these helpless and poor people in villages. The divine compassionate mother in Bhagawan waiting to rush to her ailing children. Brothers and sisters, this is how the Sri Sathya Sai Grama Seva began. All these years, the poor people were coming to the Lord to seek his refuge. But that year Bhagawan resolved to go himself to every doorstep to feed and cloth every poor person.
Humble Pranams at the Lotus feet of our Divine Master and Om Sai Ram to one and all of you. It is indeed a privilege for me to be here and I extend my appreciation to the coordinators for forwarding me this opportunity. Zone 5 is made up of the African countries, the United Kingdom, the East countries and the Gulf. In our interactive workshop we had yesterday we had over 250 delegates and we managed to undertake a lot of reflection and the recommendations are from all members who participated. Before we address the recommendations from Zone 5 however, we feel it absolutely necessary to highlight the need for a permanent conference center to be based in Prasanthi Nilayam. Ideally it should have the capacity to seat 2500 delegates and to have additional meeting rooms to facilitate small group discussions. It may also be useful to establish an administration office to oversee the working of the centre. Now for the feedback from Zone 5: In addition to the various programs which have been carried out within Zone 5 countries, the emphasis over the next three years will be based on activities on involving the local communities in our areas as well as nationally and within the Zone 5 countries. The focus will be on services of a permanent nature and this will be in order to enhance all three activities in an integrated and holistic approach. The overall emphasis we find necessary is to restrengthen all spiritual activities like sohum breathing and meditation which is basically to begin with this strong spiritual basis and to culminate in seva. Our commitment on the projects over the next three years which we agreed on include under Educare:
Zone 5 through the Organisations protocol structure.
Under Medicare we have:
Under Sociocare:
Before I conclude I just thought it would be appropriate to read some of Swami’s sayings in relation to this. Swami says that love of the country is the basis on which you can build the love for the world community and we can do this by aspiring now, by adoring now and by achieving now. To conclude the countries in zone 5 has committed itself to these projects with the underlying emphasis on quality above quantity to implement and sustain these programs and to allow the power of love to be the undertone of all activities. Again my appreciation to my Beloved Bhagavan for affording us this most unique opportunity. Jai Sai Ram.
