Sri Sathya Sai International Organization - USA

Sai Prema Nilayam in Riverside, CA, celebrated Nowruz on March 21, 2026. Kicking off with Vedam chanting and bhajans, to set a peaceful and sacred tone, the program continued with three engaging Iranian speakers who shared beautiful prayers, moving personal memories, and fascinating insights into the faith such as the symbolic significance of the Haft-Sin (seven items starting with S). Spiritual aspirants of diverse faiths enjoyed the uplifting celebration that embraced interfaith harmony, the renewal of nature, inner transformation, and the unifying power of divine love. It was a beautiful reminder that no matter our background, love and harmony connect us all.

In honor of Aradhana Day and Earth Day on April 25, 2026, adults and youth of the Sri Sathya Sai Centers of SE Denver and Boulder, CO, teamed up with the Friends of Red Rocks, a nonprofit group, for a grounds clean-up at the historic Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre dedicated to preserving the beauty of the iconic landmark. The inspiring day wrapped up with a joyful “Walk for Values" and devotional singing. The Aradhana celebrations continued the following day with soulful bhajans (devotional singing), satsang (spiritual fellowship), and dinner. A powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together to care for our local environment and foster community values.

The 8th Love All Serve All (LASA) Free Medical Clinic on April 11, 2026, marked its most expansive event in history. More than 65 medical providers and 75 volunteers from the Sri Sathya Sai Centers of Greater Boston, along with incredible support from community health partners, served more than 329 community members compassionate, free healthcare across more than 15 specialties. Key highlights included the introduction of ultrasound imaging, communicable disease screenings, and  pulmonology services. Youth volunteers managed interpretation in more than 20 languages; SSE children led the local outreach efforts, and organizers restructured operations that ensured seamless, organized care.

Music, food, and incredible community spirit! On March 28, families gathered at George Bush Park for a mental health awareness 5K walk/run, organized by the SSE Group 4 Boys of the Sri Sathya Sai Center of South Houston,TX. Before hitting the trail, licensed social worker Charlee Bellfonte shared powerful tools on strengthening parent-child communication and building deeper family bonds. Shoutout to the 77 participants who came out to walk, run, and support mental wellness under perfect sunny skies.

Our loving Sai often used commonplace objects to help us understand otherwise lofty and esoteric spiritual ideas - rice, coffee, salt, oil, telephones, pens, and even mascara! These simple, elegant metaphors bring the elevated down to the everyday - much like the descent of this Avatar. God lives in both the monumental and the mundane. When we see life in the light of His glory, nothing is ordinary, and everything is miraculous. Here Ellesha uses a simple analogy of a serving of curd rice to explore the question of finding the time to serve God.
