District Annual Report For period from 1st April 2018 to 31st March 2019

Sri Sathya Sai District

( Satna )

Annual district report of Satna District is humbly offered at the lotus feet of

our most beloved Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Our district Satna is known for cement factories. Satna is also called cement city of India. It contributes around 10% of India’s total cement production. There is an abundance of dolomite and limestone in the area. The electrical cable company Universal Cable Limited in Satna is among the pioneers in the country. The city Satna is among the few most promising cities of Madhya Pradesh. Satna district has some major religious tourist spots including Chitrakoot and Maihar. Satna district is close to an ancient city of Buddhist Culture named Bharhut whose archeological remains are displayed in many museums in India and all over the world. In spite of these glorious features of our district, one dark spot is also imprinted on the forehead of our district and that is the problem of malnutrition. Satna district has more than 2500 severely under weight or severely malnourished children. The villages of Satna that have reported the maximum number of malnutrition deaths are remote hamlet surrounded by hills and poor connectivity. The villagers belong to the Kol and Mawasi tribes and primarily dependent on non timber forest produce for sustenance. Our organisation has adopted two of the villages Kahua Dol and Bhagdevra from this area under our SSSVIP. The significant change is also observed in the life style of villagers in these villages. We provide Sai Proteins under our mother and child care program, also planted Munga trees, which resulted weight gain in the children of these villages. Government machinery is also working in these areas to overcome the problem of malnutrition and underweight children but the effort put by them through Aganwadies and other scheme is like a drop in the ocean. We pray to Bhagwan to guide us and bestow the strength to tackle the problem of malnutrition. We are looking forward to the state team to support us by guiding some concrete strategies in this regard so that we can make

Bhagwan’s directive real - Manav Seva is Madhav Seva.

जिलाध्यक्ष की कलम से ......

The Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, founded by

Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in the year 1965, is a service

organisation with a spiritual core and base to benefit all mankind

irrespective of religion, caste, creed or sect. The Organisation

serves as a platform for its members to undertake service and

other activities motivated by an urge for one's own

transformation with the aim of realising one's inherent divinity.

Without any distinction of religion, nationality, race, socio-

economic status, either for those who work in the Organisation

or for those who are served by it, the Organisation transcends all

barriers leading humanity towards the ideal of 'Fatherhood of

God and Brotherhood of Man'.

The concept of fees or membership subscription is alien to

the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, for there cannot be any fee

or subscription for one's journey towards his own self.

The organisation functions through its primary units called as

Samithis and Bhajan Mandalis of which individuals - from

different strata of society, different ethnic groups pursuing

different religions and faiths -are members bound by the dictum

of “Love all, Serve All” and pursue their own sadhana towards

self-transformation following the path of selfless service to

humanity.

At no point is an individual asked to follow a certain religion

or rituals. On the contrary each is inspired to follow his own faith

so as to ensure that a Hindi becomes a better Hindu, a Muslim

becomes a better Muslim, a Christian becomes a better Christian

and so on. In fact, this spiritual basis inspires everyone to pursue

his own religion better by putting into practice Love and

Selflessness. That is why the Organisation features in its emblem

the symbols of the major religions of the world.

“The Organisations named after Me are not to be used for publicising My Name, or creating a new cult

around My worship….They must render seva (service) to the helpless, the sick, the distressed, the illiterate and the

needy. Their seva (selfless service) should not be exhibitionistic; it must seek no reward, not even gratitude or thanks from

the recipients. Seva is sadhana (spiritual exercise), not a pastime of the rich and well placed.

You must have the firm belief that the aim of this Organisation is to remove the obstacles that keep man away

from God, that separate maanavathwa (Humanity) from Maadhavathwa (Divinity).. This Organisation must elevate the

human into the Divine.”

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations – an introduction

Activities under different wings of the Organisation

WINGS OF THE

ORGANISATIONS

The Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation functions

under three wings viz. (i) Spiritual, (ii) Education,

and (iii) Service.

Each activity in a wing is directed to facilitate

and help the member in his own spiritual

advancement. Although, the nature of activities

undertaken under different wings appear to be

distinct and dissimilar, but there is an inherent

interrelationship amongst all the three wings. The

three wings stand for Worship, Wisdom and Work.

Spirituality and Service are supplementary and

complementary to each other. Spirituality is the

motivational force behind service and service is the

fulfillment of spirituality. Therefore, spiritual

concepts learnt through education must be put into

practice in form of service to humanity. Thus, in

order to successfully realise the objective of joining

the Sai Organisation, one must participate in

activities of all the three wings.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE

ORGANISATION

Headed by an All India President who is supported

by the National Vice Presidents and State Presidents,

the Organisation functions like a well- oiled machine

in the District under the stewardship of the District

President, focused on its purpose, clear in its vision

and dedicated in its efforts to live up the Swami’s

message – “Love All, Serve All”.

The Samithis and the Bhajan Mandalis

constitute a genuine spiritual movement

where the members are united by a common

bond – Love for God and Service to fellow

human beings.

The members of the organisation work as one

cohesive unit, whether as sevadals providing service

at Prashanthi Nilayam, at medical camps, doing

Narayan seva or the bal-vikas gurus who work with

young children to inspire in them a desire to inculcate

the five human values of Truth, Righteousness, Love,

Peace and Non-violence, or the teachers who having

undergone the training in EHV help in guiding the

young minds towards the higher goals of life or the

Sai Youth who work tirelessly in the Sri Sathya Sai

Village Integrated Programme and Sri Sathya Sai

Vidya Jyoti Programme – each of them are bound by

one goal – “Service to Man is Service to God”.

THE 9 POINT CODE OF CONDUCT AND 10 PRINCIPLES

Every member of the Organisation is expected to undertake Sadhana (spiritual discipline) as an integral

part of his/her daily life by abiding by the following Nine Point Code of Conduct which has been bestowed

In 1971 Dr. Aadya Prasad Tripathi joined Govt Degree

College Satna as an assistant professor of Hindi. In those days

no one in Satna was knowing about the activities of Sri Sathya

Sai Seva Organisation. Dr. Tripathi somehow came to know that

Mr. S. Murugeshan Railway Loco Driver is a devotee of Shirdi

Sai. Dr. Tripathi contacted Mr. Murugeshan and told about Sri

Sathya Sai and also made a trip to Puttaparthy along with him.

After coming back from Puttaparthy both Mr. Murugeshan and

Dr. Tripathi decided to conduct Bhajans to their houses on

alternate Sundays. Being the professor in college Dr. Tripathi

insisted some of the professors and students to attend the

Bhajans in his house. Dr. Tripathi also tried to talk about

Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai and his leela when he got a chance.

This developed the interest about Sri Sathya Sai to some of the

professors and other people. One professor Mandwikar the well

known palmist also started conducting Bhajans in his house.

With the inspiration of Mr. Murugeshan one Chakrawarti

Family who was guard in Railway also joined in Bhajan group.

One Mr. Agrawal and Mr. T. R. Sharma also came in the fold of

this Bhajan group. Finally after three years in 1974 by the

initiative of Dr. Aadya Prasad Tripathi and member of Sri

Sathya Sai Samithi Jabapur Samithi was formed in Satna City.

People started conducting Bhajans in different temples of the

town on Thursday and in devotees’ houses on Sundays. So Dr.

Aadya Prasad Tripathi is the founder member of Sri Sathya Sai

Samithi Satna who also served later in Sri Sathya Sai institute of

Higher Learning Prasanthi Nilayam Campus as a professor in

Hindi for nine years. His son Dr. Chandrashekhar Tripathi is

former district president of Betul District and presently the

member of state village committee of Sri Sathya Sai Seva

Organisation Madhya Pradesh.
