| The History Of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations |
|
 |
| Until about 45 years ago, those of the fortunate devotees who had come in close proximity of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba and those who were congregating at His Divine Lotus Feet experiencing and realising the Divinity of Bhagawan were carrying out in their own way, bhajans, service activities and various other spiritual activities in their respective areas in accordance with the teachings of Bhagawan Baba and were enjoying the consequent bliss. |
|
| On 18th of March 1963, for the first time, Sri Satya Sai Bhajana Centre was inaugurated in Prashanthi Nilayam in the Divine presence to carry out bhajans in a systematic and a regular way with certain rules and regulations. In a couple of years such Bhajana Mandalis came into existence in various parts of Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Orissa, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab etc. |
|
| In August 1965, In Bombay (now known as Mumbai), the devotees formed a registered body to put into practice the various teachings of Bhagawan during Dussera celebrations the same year. This body can be said to be the first ever Bhagwan Sri Satya Seva Samithi. The devotees from different parts of the country who assembled at Prasanthi Nilayam during the following Birth Day Celebrations came to know about the formation of Bombay Samithi and came forward to form similar units in their respective areas. |
|
| April 1967, (Abbottsbury) Madras. First All-India Conference: To bring all the Samithis thus formed in a uniform pattern, the first All India conference of Bhagwan Sri Satya Sai Seva Organisations was held in April1967, at Abbottsbury in the city of Madras (now known as Chennai) and the necessary rules and regulations were formulated to bring all Samithis under a common body /organisation to run the units effectively. Bhagawan gave a call to HIS devotees “to march ahead with boldness and unity in search of God”. He also urged HIS devotees to “worship the divinity in the hearts of their fellow beings by rendering various services and thus striving to help those who are afflicted with sufferings and are in dire need of help”. |

| July 6, 1982. International committee for 60th Birth day Celebrations:
At this stage elders of the organisation started thinking of 60th Birth-day celebrations of Bhagawan Baba. They were of the opinion that it would not be appropriate to celebrate the event for a day or for a week and that too for our pleasure. The right way to celebrate the Lord’s birth-day was to put in special efforts to realise the objectives for which the Avatar has descended and to implementing the teachings of Bhagawan in daily life. For this purpose an International committee was constituted three years before the 60th Birth-day celebrations. On the 6th of July 1982, on the sacred Guru Poornima day, the 60th Birth-day celebrations committee started functioning and has formulated Four Objectives for the Organisations’ functioning in accordance with which, the various service activities have to be carried out over a three-year period. |
| |
| November 1982, Prasanthi Nilayam. The Tenth All-India Conference & The Four Objectives of the Organisation formulated by the 60th Birth Day Celebrations committee: |
- to increase man-hours on services relating to National Health and Welfare,
- to improve various spiritual techniques so as to deepen and strengthening Spiritual base and people’s faith in Bhagawan’s teachings.
- To spread Sai Message which is Divine, Noble and All Unifying in its nature and which acts as soothing balm to the faction-ridden and strife torn society of today, and
- To impose Ceiling on desires and to put into practice the teachings of Bhagawan in one’s daily life.
|
| |
| The inner spiritual significance of the above objectives in systematic spiritual uplift of a person has to be explained. Keeping in view the four objectives mentioned above, various service activities were formulated for different wings of the organisation. |
| |
| December, 1983, Prasanthi Nilayam (International Rally of Bal-vikas) ; |
| |
| November, 1984 Prasanthi Nilayam (International Sevadal conference) & |
| |
| November, 1985, Prasanthi Nilayam (The Fourth World Conference and Eleventh All-India Conference) : |
| |
| The above events were the highlights of Bhagawan’s 60th Birth-day Celebrations spread over three year period. It would not be an exaggeration to say that during 1984 and 1985 conferences, the whole world was taken by surprise at the various educational and medical services rendered in all the villages of Sri Satya Sai Taluk. During the International Sevadal conference in November, 1984, various wings of the organisations such as Bhajana Mandali, Seva Dal, Study Circle, Mahila Vibhag, Mahila Seva Dal, Bal-Vikas etc., were classified into three categories: |
| |
| (1) Spiritual Wing (2) Service Wing and (3) Educational Wing. |
| |
| The Fourth World Conference gave a call to the delegates to try and achieve the integration of man-kind by carrying out various services in accordance with the four objectives laid down by the International Committee for the 60th Birth-day celebrations. Each of the three newly formed wings had to carry out services in accordance with the four objectives and this provides scope to bring about integration in the organisation before it can be achieved in the society. On this occasion it was stressed, that strengthening and widening ‘ spiritual base’ among people should be one of the four objectives of our service activities. |
| |
| At this juncture, with a view to increase various activities, 13 office-bearers at district level were nominated. It was soon found out that such a multiplicity of office-bearers not only hindered the work but also led to occasional frictions in the organisation. Bhagawan nipped it in the bud by bringing about structural changes in the organisation in 1987 and to make the members efficient instruments in the Divine Mission. |
| |
| November, 1987 Prasanthi Nilayam. All-India Active Workers Conference (Known as the 12th All-India conference) :
The World council was dissolved exactly after twelve years of its existence. International chairman was nominated to guide and advise the overseas units. All India president was nominated to guide the units in India. Organisation structured. Basic guidelines were given. All India president will be assisted by the 3 wings co-ordinators at National level and by four central coordinators at Zonal level. For each State, there will be one State President to guide the units in his state and will be assisted by 3 Mahila coordinators for three wings at State level and by State coordinators each o f whom will be in charge of 3 allotted districts in the State. All posts of district level office bearers were abolished. At samithi level, there will be one convenor of samithi who will be assisted by the 3 Co-ordinators of the 3 wings of the samithi. All active workers are members of the Samithi. The Educational Wing Coordinator at Samithi level will be a Mahila who will also act as sole representative of Mahila active workers. |
| |
| The Divine Guidelines for the Organisation :
The Divine Discourses given by Bhagawan to the Organisation members on the 19th, 21st and 24th November, 197; on 15th February and on 30th July, 1988 form the basic guidelines to active workers. |
| |
| 1988, The silver Jubilee celebrations of the Organisation all over India :
The Silver Jubilee celebrations of the Organisation were conducted during 1988 all over the country. In 1988, the units in A.P.State conducted the celebrations throughout the year in a unique and impressive manner and as a climax they organised a huge rally of impressive cultural programmes in the Divine presence at prasanthi Nilayam and in the selected villager of Sri Sathya Sai Taluka. |
| |
| November 1990, Prasanthi Nilayam. Fifth World conference & Thirteenth All-India Conference: |
| |
| The Conference reiterated that adherence to the Divine Charter; the 9-point code of Conduct; and the Rules and Regulations of the Organisation is the sure way for the development of the organisation. It was resolved to establish a samithi or Bhajana Mandali in those areas/districts which have no Samithis at present. It was also decided to improve sevadal and Bal-Vikas Programmes and to conduct as many Training Programmes as possible. Bhagawan gave a clarion call to delegates on 24th of November, 1990: “All of you should become instrumental in marking your friends and relatives join the organisation and thereby derive the joy and delight of serving society & become recipients of Divine Grace and Love.” |
| |
| November 1995, Prasanthi Nilayam.Sixth world Conference & Fourteenth All-India conference: |
| |
| The nine-point resolution in this conference strongly stressed the dire” necessity of intensive spiritual preparation” for the development of the Organisation. Bhagawan’s clarion call: **To give up harmful habits i.e.
Smoking, drinking of intoxicants, eating non-vegetarian food and gambling; ** To maximise the use of time and energy for organizational activity & ** To practice harmony in thought, word and deed. ** To remove mental barriers about work being personal, official and organisational. ** to accept every work as God’s work! ** To work and dedicate entire life’s work to Swami. ** To carry out personal Sadhana without negative feelings and without hurting other’s feelings. Not to feel high or low of others because of their different positions in the organisation and to have proper regard to everyone as a chosen one of the Lord. ** To feel the Divinity in all members and take part regularly and actively in all the activities o f the organisation.. ** To experience the organisational activity as one’s own activity in practice. ** To get closer to fellow member through Sadhana camps. ** To do away with the tendencies of complaining and writing letters to Bhagawan with allegations on others. ** To plan all our activity as dedication to the Lord, which purifies and takes the individual to spiritual heights. All this leads to change in the individual, the organisation, the society and the World at large. |
