Seating Arrangements : All seating assignments be strictly followed to address audio-visual issues.When seated during bhajans, please avoid communication, including talking or gestures, unless necessary, to prevent disturbing other devotees.
Lead Singers : Please ensure you are seated in your designated spot at least five minutes before the Bhajan begins.

Player assignments for regular bhajans will rotate among available participants. During special occasions, proficiency will be prioritized to keep the bhajans lively.

📢 REGULAR SSSE DRESS CODE REMINDER
🙏 Dear Parents,
Throughout this past year, our dedicated gurus have been gently reminding students about the SSSE dress code and the importance of being on time to class. While we understand it takes time to build habits, this year we’d really like to see everyone fully aligned with these expectations.
As Swami lovingly emphasized, discipline in both appearance and punctuality helps set the tone for a meaningful and focused learning environment.
🙏 We expect modest clothing that does not draw one’s attention to the body.
For girls: Traditional modest Indian attire such as salwar kameez with long pants and chunni, or modest western wear like long pants or a long skirt with an appropriate top. Bare skin should not be visible. Sleeveless tops, tight clothing, leggings with short tops, or tops with side slits are not permitted.
For boys: Full pants (white or khaki preferred) with a proper shirt are expected. Traditional attire such as kurta-pajama is also welcome.
🌼 For everyone: Boys and girls must be well groomed, neat, and tidy. Hair and overall appearance should reflect simplicity, discipline, and respect for the spiritual setting.
🚫 Not permitted: Shorts, T-shirts, tank tops, or sweatpants.
PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF:
-
⌚️Punctuality
-
➕Drop-Off – SSSE is not a drop-off program. For safety reasons, at least one parent should remain at the center in case of emergencies. Parents are encouraged to participate in the enriching Satsang and Devotion programs available during SSSE.
-
🛻Pick-Up – For safety reasons, students will not be sent outside for pick-up. Please come inside the school to collect them. Remember to use the side door entrance not the front of the school. Thank you for your understanding!
-
🎤Consider Staying for Bhajans – We love seeing our SSSE classes filled with eager learners, and we also encourage students to stay for bhajans and experience the full program. Speaking of bhajans, every third Sunday of the month, bhajans will be led entirely by SSSE students! If your child would like to participate, please join this WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LH1BplFh68TE8MVzSloDbV
🪷Thank you for working with us to create a nurturing and 🪷
🪷 disciplined environment for our children! 🪷

With humble reverence at the Divine Lotus Feet of our beloved Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, we are blessed to initiate a special seva (service) project in commemoration of His 100th Birth Anniversary.
To mark this sacred milestone, we are undertaking a heartfelt initiative: to support 100 life-transforming surgeries at the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences (SSSIHMS) — a temple of healing founded by Swami Himself, where all treatment is rendered completely free of cost.
This offering is but a small token of our immense gratitude for His boundless love and infinite grace. It is an opportunity for us to unite in love, service, and sacrifice, reflecting His divine message:
"Love All, Serve All."
We invite you to join hands in this sacred mission of healing and hope.
Let us serve in HIS name, and let every heartbeat we touch become a living tribute to HIS Love.
To witness the profound impact of Swami’s vision and the miracle of selfless healthcare, please visit: https://prasanthigram.sssihms.org/
As of this writing, SSSIHMS has provided over 4.3 million consultations and performed more than 341,650 surgeries and procedures — all free of cost.
This unparalleled achievement stands as a testament to the power of divine grace and selfless service, unmatched by any other non-profit healthcare institution globally.
Swami's quotes: "I don't tell you not to earn. Earn well. But help your fellow man."
"Money and blood should not be stationary, they should flow."

Prasanthi Connection
Our Connection with The Abode of Highest Peace
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.
