Sai Ram. Our beloved Bhagawan himself engages in distribution of food to the poor.

Sai Baba himself engages in distribution of food to the poor, distribution of clothing, and has always conducted this service since the announcement of his divinity. In days past, "narayana seva" used to take place on the sands of the Chitravathri River. Now, as ever, this is done annually as part of the Easwaramma Day Festival, and the celebration of His Birthday. Sathya Sai Baba has always set the example for his devotees.

In Puttaparthi, health, water and education to the highest level are free. In the surrounding environs, called the Sri Sathya Sai Taluk, consisting of 100 local villages, Sai Baba has the full responsibility for the health, education and welfare of all those villages and their amenities. This is done free of charge.

Throughout India, The Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation is organised into service units. These service units voluntarily provide free medical camps, village cleaning, spiritual education for children, and education for villagers in public health and welfare. No donations or charges for such activities are taken up.

Throughout India, over 1000 primary and secondary schools have been funded by the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust.

The graduating students are encouraged by Sai Baba to dismiss pressure of parents and the calls of fabulous overseas working environment and salary and return to the village, sharing their wealth with local villagers in order to improve local conditions from within and not without.

• "Students should not crave for city life. They should live in their own villages and try to develop. Today the culture of Bharath is only found in villages....."

This evidence offered amply illustrates both integrity and the positive impact on society at large by Sathya Sai Baba. each element of impact is an element in the mission, the fostering of the vedas through the devotional wing of the Sai Organisations, the fostering of the vedic scholars through the Upanayanam ceremonies, expositions on Gayathri Mantra and installation of varia Shrines, divine discourses, the celebration of Maha Shivarathri, Guru Pournmima and Dassera Festivals all over India. The spiritual awakening continues with the ages long tradition of Akhand Bhajans at both Maha Shivarathri and prior to Baba's birthday. More recently, emergence of Hiranyagarbha, the Golden Lingham.

The restoration of righteousness has been served by both the guiding and touchstone principle of the Avatar and all the Sai Colleges: sathyam vada, dharmam chara, speak truthfully and act righteously. This has disseminated throughout the length and breadth of India through the inculcation of the 5 Human Values into the hearts and minds of all devotees engaged in selfless service: Truth, Love, Peace, Right Conduct and Non-violence.
