Services

"The members of our Organization must be ready and eager to help students, the sick, and the poor. Feel that this is work that pleases Me. Spend your days and years in activities that help those in dire need, and thus make this human existence of yours worthwhile and fruitful."

–Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Quotations on Service

"Serve man as God. Give food to the hungry, food that is gift of Goddess Nature. Give it with Love and humility, give it sweetened with the name of the Lord."-Baba

"The best service is giving a thirsty man a cup of water, and the best time is when he is thirsty. The best type of service is feeding the hungry. Set aside a handful of rice every day while cooking, as an offering to God; each week, feed a few hungry people with it."-Baba
