The Sri Sathya Sai Center of Greater St. Louis, MO, affirmed its role as a pillar in the interfaith community by participating in two major summer 2025 events: the Festival of Faiths in St. Louis, and the inaugural Interfaith Festival in St. Charles. Drawing hundreds, these gatherings allowed the Center to build bridges, share Sathya Sai Baba’s message of love and unity, and experience positive responses from the community. The Center's deep commitment to interfaith collaboration—recognized by the Interfaith Partnership—continues through diverse activities, including hosting leaders, interfaith walks, and vital youth engagement.

Members of the Sri Sathya Sai Center of Lake Washington, WA, have been engaged in a service that embodies Swami’s teaching that service is the highest form of love. It began with helping to build nearly 150 tiny homes. Members now serve residents monthly with hot Indian meals, cookies baked by SSE children, and preloved clothing. Organized into neighborhood pods, families cook, deliver, and connect with refugees and neighbors. This circle of service transforms both community and hearts, reminding all that “Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray."

This collective effort provides nourishment and comfort to the residents, while bringing great joy to all the volunteers.
