New Year message (UK National Council)

Dear Devotees,

Jai Sai Ram!

As we bid farewell to the year 2023 and usher in the New Year, let us embrace the essence of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s teachings—a call to awaken the divinity within. This New Year, let love be our guiding star, compassion our constant companion, and selfless service our sacred offering to humanity.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba reminds us that the purpose of life is to realize our inherent divinity and recognise the divine spark in every being. Let our actions be an expression of this profound truth. In the coming year, may we tread the path of righteousness, uphold the banner of truth, and spread the fragrance of peace wherever we go.

As we navigate the journey ahead, let us practice patience and fortitude in the face of challenges, trusting that every experience is a stepping stone toward spiritual evolution. Let us cultivate an attitude of gratitude for the blessings we have and share our abundance with those less fortunate.

In moments of joy, let us share our laughter; in times of sorrow, let us be a comforting presence. Together, as a global SAI family, may we strive to create a world where love reigns supreme, and where the unity of all living beings is celebrated.

May the light of Sathya (truth), Dharma (righteousness), Shanti (peace), Prema (love), and Ahimsa (non-violence) guide our path throughout the New Year.

On behalf of the UK National Council, we wish you all a year filled with Divine blessings, transformative growth, and boundless love.

Lovingly In Sai Service,

Pratap Thakkar
National President
