Mission Statement

The Sri Sathya Sai Organization is a spiritual organization that recognizes the fundamental unity of all religions around the world. The main objective of the Sri Sathya Sai Organization is to help individuals recognize their inner divinity. It was founded by Sri Sathya Sai Baba in India.

The mission and purpose of Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s advent was outlined in a letter to his brother, Seshama Raju dated May 25, 1947. Some important excerpts from that letter are noted as follows:

To foster all mankind and ensure for all of them lives full of bliss.
To lead all who stray away from the straight path again into goodness and save them.
To remove the sufferings of the poor and grant them what they lack.

The core unit of the Sri Sathya Sai Organization is the Sai Centre. At the Sri Sathya Sai Baba Centre of Scarborough, we promote spiritual, educational, and community service activities. We are a not-for-profit corporation registered in Ontario.

Sri Sathya Sai Organization

“The main objective of the Sathya Sai Organization, which you must always keep before you is to help man to recognise the Divinity that is inherent in him”

– Sri Sathya Sai Baba, January 6, 1975

The main objective in helping individuals recognize their inner divinity is achieved through various means, including selfless service, self-transformation, and by practising the Five Universal Human Values outlined by Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

The Five Universal Human Values are:

Truth (Sathya)
Right Conduct (Dharma)
Peace (Shanthi)
Love (Prema)
Non-Violence (Ahimsa)

The Sri Sathya Sai Organization operates on kinship and love within the organization. It also promotes and practices unity of faith and harmony of religions.

The Sri Sathya Sai Organization provides an environment to help foster an individual’s spiritual progress towards self-realization. Accordingly, every Sai Centre has the following major components:

Spirtual Wing

The Spiritual Wing nurtures an individual’s spiritual growth to the path of devotion to God through bhajans, meditation, and the study of Sai literature.

Educare Wing

The Educare Wing nurtures an individual’s self-transformation through SSE classes, Dynamic Value Parenting, and seminars/workshops.

Seva (Service) Wing

The Seva Wing nurtures an individual’s self-realization through Narayana Seva, blood donor clinics, and various other service activities.

Youth Wing

The Youth Wing nurtures an individual’s self-confidence to build leadership skills and serve the community.

The above Wings correspond to the three major paths towards self-realization:

Devotion (Bhakti)
Spiritual Wisdom (Jnana)
Action (Karma)

In addition, Sri Sathya Sai Baba has always encouraged Young Adults, as the potential leaders of tomorrow, to lead purposeful lives in service of their families, communities, and countries at large.

The Young Adult Wing at the Sri Sathya Sai Baba Centre of Scarborough is the fourth wing and provides a forum for Young Adults to discuss ideas and organize service activities amongst their peers.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba has also expressed that individuals should have love in thought, word, and deed.

“REAL equality among men has to be achieved not by the equal distribution of material things but by the cultivation of love, which promotes a sense of the divinity that is inherent in all beings. More vital than the five pranas (Prana, Apaana, and others), Sathya, Dharma, Santhi, Prema and Ahimsa are the vital life-breath for every one. Of these the greatest is Prema (Love). Fill yourself with love. Love should express itself in service to society. You should look upon society this way. We exist for society and society exists for the good of all. Try to sanctify your life by doing service and spreading joy and comfort all around.”

~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba, December 11, 1985
