Guidelines For Devotion Wing
Mandatory Shruti/Practice Sessions: Attendance is absolutely required. ( exceptions only to seniors with traveling issues)
Bhajan Selection: If the chosen Bhajan does not meet the minimum standard, we kindly request that you switch to a different one that suits you better.
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.
Chorus Singers: Kindly Remember, the mic is a responsibility, not a privilege. Chorus singers should be equally prepared as lead singers and adhere to their assigned seating.
# Instrument Players
Maximum of two players per instrument allowed per session, including special occasions unless bhajans are exceeded beyond 2 hours. Player assignments for regular bhajans will rotate among available participants. During special occasions, proficiency will be prioritized to keep the bhajans lively. Understanding is appreciated as adherence to these guidelines ensures quality, although we love encouraging children's talents.
Kindly understand, our only intention and aim is to follow the rules put by Swami as much as possible and make Him Happy. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

The pilgrimage will commence with Grama Seva on the morning of July 21, followed by cultural programs, including musical offerings by Adults and Young Adults, along with various service opportunities. The pilgrimage will conclude with a SSSE cultural program offering at Divya Sannidhi.

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.
Please browse through the following
SISTER SRIDEVI MADDALA (SSSGC, USA)
Sister Sridevi Maddala believes her journey towards Swami has been planned by the Divine Himself. Though physically present in Prasanthi Nilayam, Bhagawan has His own gentle ways of drawing hearts toward Him. She was once unaware of His name and form, yet He lovingly guided her to His abode.
Sridevi was raised in a family devoted to Tirupati Venkateswara as the family deity. As her spiritual journey deepened, she felt drawn to Shirdi Sai Baba. Visits to the Tirupati temple and the Samadhi in Shirdi brought her profound goosebumps and deep emotional experiences that felt truly divine. After marriage, Swami entered her life through her husband, who was a Sathya Sai Alumnus. Today Swami is everything to her with personal experience at Prashanthi Nilayam is one of absolute stillness—no thoughts, an empty mind, and profound peace. True to its name, Prashanthi bestows Supreme Peace is what she believes.
