Om Sri Sairam.

With the immense grace of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, all the three wings of the organization viz.

spiritual, service and education, have successfully carried out various seva activities in Nagpur district

during the year 2018-19.

I am indebted to Bhagawan for His continued guidance and grace on Nagpur district and indeed the whole

hearted (physical, mental and financial) support from all the office bearers and devotees of Nagpur.

Our beloved Swami has taught us that for seva it is the will not the resources. If you take one step towards

Him, resources will automatically flow. We in Nagpur have time and again experienced this in abundance.

As regards the seva activities in Nagpur district are concerned, I will take the privilege to mention especially

the medicare seva in which we reached the door steps of around 50,000 needy villagers and slum dwellers

through our fortnightly medicare seva van.

Under the Medicare project, 10 special eye camps and 3 dental camps were also organised during 2018-19.

The mother and child care team of Nagpur district also reached to three villages in the Kalmeshwar Tahsil

and distributed Swami’s love in the form of Sai Protein and Iron and Calcium supplements to the pregnant

women.

“Youth can change the world”. The youth wing of Nagpur district also organized awareness programs

through Yuva Vikas activity for the college youth in Nagpur. The youth team of Nagpur regularly organizes

Foreword from the District President

Narayan seva in slums and fruit distribution seva in the govt. medical college. In today’s age of competition

where career is considered to be everything, we are indeed fortunate to have such young individuals who

derive immense satisfaction in spending Sunday with slum dwellers and patients.

Through this Annual Report, we take the opportunity to thank our beloved Swami for accepting us in His

fold and making us an instrument in His mission of helping the mankind in redeeming the precious human

birth and also pray Him to continually inspire us for more and more seva in years to come.

In Sai Service

The Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, founded by

Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in the year 1965, is a service

organisation with a spiritual core and base to benefit all

mankind irrespective of religion, caste, creed or sect. The

Organisation serves as a platform for its members to undertake

service and other activities motivated by an urge for one's own

transformation with the aim of realising one's inherent divinity.

Without any distinction of religion, nationality, race, socio-

economic status, either for those who work in the Organisation

or for those who are served by it, the Organisation transcends all

barriers leading humanity towards the ideal of 'Fatherhood of

God and Brotherhood of Man'.

The concept of fees or membership subscription is alien to

the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, for there cannot be any

fee or subscription for one's journey towards his own self.

The organisation functions through its primary units called

as Samithis and Bhajan Mandalis of which individuals - from

different strata of society, different ethnic groups pursuing

different religions and faiths -are members bound by the dictum

of “Love all, Serve All” and pursue their own sadhana towards

self-transformation following the path of selfless service to

humanity.

At no point is an individual asked to follow a certain

religion or rituals. On the contrary each is inspired to follow his

own faith so as to ensure that a Hindi becomes a better Hindu, a

Muslim becomes a better Muslim, a Christian becomes a better

Christian and so on. In fact, this spiritual basis inspires everyone

to pursue his own religion better by putting into practice Love

and Selflessness. That is why the Organisation features in its

emblem the symbols of the major religions of the world.

“The Organisations named after Me are not to be used for publicising MyName, or creating a new cult around My worship….They must render seva(service) to the helpless, the sick, the distressed, the illiterate and the needy.Their seva (selless service) should not be exhibitionistic; it must seek noreward, not even gratitude or thanks from the recipients. Seva is sadhana(spiritual exercise), not a pastime of the rich and well placed.

Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations – an introduction

Activities under different wings of the Organisation

You must have the irm belief that the aim of this Organisation is to removethe obstacles that keep man away from God, that separate maanavathwa(Humanity) from Maadhavathwa (Divinity).. This Organisation must elevate thehuman into the Divine.”

WINGS OF THE

ORGANISATIONS

The Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation

functions under three wings viz. (i) Spiritual, (ii)

Education, and (iii) Service.

Each activity in a wing is directed to facilitate

and help the member in his own spiritual

advancement. Although, the nature of activities

undertaken under different wings appear to be

distinct and dissimilar, but there is an inherent

interrelationship amongst all the three wings. The

three wings stand for Worship, Wisdom and Work.

Spirituality and Service are supplementary and

complementary to each other. Spirituality is the

motivational force behind service and service is the

fulfillment of spirituality. Therefore, spiritual

concepts learnt through education must be put into

practice in form of service to humanity. Thus, in

order to successfully realise the objective of

joining the Sai Organisation, one must participate

in activities of all the three wings.

BRIEF HISTORY

Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation (SSSSO) started functioning in Nagpur in the form of Sri Sathya Sai

Seva Samithi in the year 1971. The sapling planted by Sri Chakravarty, Sri D. M. Parekh, Sri Ramdas

Shashital, Sri Shivram Desai, Sri R.R.N. Murhty Sri B.M. Wadegaonkar, Sri V. R. Joshi and others has

become a big tree in the form of six samithis under the banner of Nagpur district.

Initially the activity of the organization in Nagpur was confined to weekly bhajans and bhajans on

special occasions like Maha Shivaratri and Swami’s birthday. But after the formation of Samithi, the

activities of all the three wings (spiritual, service and education) gradually expanded.

The service wing of Nagpur samithi was ably handled by Sri B. M. Wadegaonkar, who was the

pioneer in the field of sanitation seva in Nagpur. His team has a lion’s share in developing the sanitation

network in Prashanthi Nilayam. Till date the May maintenance camp seva continues in Prashanthi

Nilayam under the guidance of octogenarian Wadegaonkar Kaka.

Mr. Wadegaonkar was very fortunate to have received the grace of Bhagawan time and again and it

will not be an exaggeration to mention here that Nagpur Samithi was then known as Wadegaonkar’s

samithi.

DIVINE VISIT

Bhajan or devotional singing is one of the important messages of Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Bhajan is the

soul of our organization which keeps all the different wings united. Purpose of bhajan singing is to

achieve such purity of heart and mind which will help us experience happiness and peace in every

activity in our daily life.

In all the six samithis of the Nagpur district, weekly bhajans were organised throughout the year.

Special Bhajan was organized on the eve of Republic Day on 26 th January 2019 at the residence of a

Nagar Sankirtan:

Swami says, “When you do nagar sankirtan early in the morning, you experience immense joy. Nagar

Sankirtan is an activity wherein group of devotees slowly walk the streets early in the morning, singing

the glory of the Lord. The atmosphere is automatically purified when you take the name of the lord to the

doorsteps of all the people.

Last year, in Nagpur district, weekly nagar sankirtan was organised in individual Samithis on every

Wednesday and Thursday and combined nagar sankirtan was also organised during Sri Durga Navaratri

The purpose of Study Circle and Sadhana Shibir is to organise spiritual discussion based on

interesting techniques with the intention of assisting the devotees in the search of the divinity inherent in

man.

Study circle is an inseparable part of our organisation. Swami says, “Only reading and understanding

is not sufficient, it is important to find proper place to implement it.

In Nagpur District, 25 Study circle sessions were held at Sai Sankalp Hall.

Two Sadhana Shibirs were organised that covered the topics like Onkar Sadhana, Ashtottar Shat

Namavali Sadhana, Naap Jap Sadhana, Dhyan Sadhana, Veda Sadhana and Namasankirtan.

Veda Chanting:

To derive timely benefits Shri Sathya Sai Baba has cultured us in Veda Chanting. Swami says, “The

Vedic mantra has a Divine power, which interacts with the human power. When the mantra is chanted

with proper intonation, the 65 Divine forces, that are latent in man, become manifest.”

Regular Veda Chanting Classes were held in Nagpur district and devotees practiced new Suktas.
