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.

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 creative, team-built offering, expressing profound gratitude and faith, was lovingly presented on Guru Purnima, honoring the Ocean of Divine Love.
