Loving Sairam Dear All,
Please find some of the inspiring programs happening across SSSGC Zone 1 (USA, Canada, and Trinidad & Tobago). Wishing everyone a joyful and blessed Krishna Janmashtami
The supreme message of the life of Krishna is Prema Thatwa (Love Principle) alone. Devoid of love, one cannot understand Krishna Thatwa. This Prema Thatwa will confer everything to the world. Krishna is the embodiment of Love. This love can be understood only through love. Divine love is strong, precious, splendorous and unbreakable like a diamond. If you want to secure such Divine love, your love (for God) must be equally strong. You can cut a diamond only with another diamond. If there is any defect in your love, it should be removed only through love. Love begets love. It is impossible to attain love through hatred. Hatred only breeds even more hatred. Jealousy begets jealousy. Anger breeds further anger. Through love alone can love be developed. Therefore, if you want to foster love, you have to get rid of hatred, jealousy and anger. Is there a need to use a torchlight, or a lantern, or a petromax light to see the naturally illuminating moon? No. There is no need for any of these accessories. The Moon can be seen by its own light. Similarly, to attain Krishna, the very embodiment of love, love is the only way.
Memorable Memories from SSSGC USA National Piligrimage 2025
By the divine grace of our Loving Lord, devotees from Zone 1 of the Sri Sathya Sai Global Council (SSSGC-USA) were blessed with a spiritually enriching three-day pilgrimage to Prasanthi Nilayam.
Prof. Balu Karanam, National President of SSSGC-USA, expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity to be in the divine presence of Bhagawan. He noted that this marked their third pilgrimage in just four years. Reflecting on the deeper meaning of “GC,” he shared that it stands not only for Global Council but also for God’s Company, with Bhagawan as their eternal guide.
Ms. Sumana Murali introduced a newly developed 12-year structured curriculum for Sri Sathya Sai Bal Vikas (SSSE), designed to provide a holistic and values-based education. She also launched the new SSSE website — https://ssseducareusa.org — which offers easy access to e-books, resources for parents, and a range of multimedia content.
The pilgrimage also included a heartfelt devotional and cultural offering. Devotees presented Premamrutha Dhara – 100 Years of Love, a musical tribute, and I Am Sai Baba, a drama presentation by the Bal Vikas (SSSE) children.
We invite you to explore the links below to relive the joy and divine moments from this sacred pilgrimage.

Prasanthi Nilayam means 'the abode of highest peace'. It is the main ashram of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, located near the village of Puttaparthi amidst rolling hills, with the river Chitravathi to its east. The valley houses the divine sannidhi (sanctum) of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, the Sai Kulwant Hall, bhajan mandir, residential complexes, the headquarters of the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, its allied institutions.
By the divine grace of Beloved Baba our SSSGC Zone1 has recently taken up a new initiative "Prasanthi Connection" through which we will be sharing all important initiatives & updates from Prasanthi Nilayam.
Prasanthi Connection Team members will also strive hard to facilitate and help the devotees (of Zone1) with the logistics in Prasanthi Nilalayam.
