Global Young Adults Conference (SSS-GYAC) 2024 | SAVE the DATE – JULY 2024 – With the divine grace and blessings of Swami, the year 2023 proved to be an exceptional year for Young Adult Activities worldwide. This year holds particular significance for SAI devotees across the world, as they prepare for the centenary celebrations. For Young Adults, 2023 was truly special with the launch of the inaugural program of the Sri Sathya Sai Global Council – Young Adult Leadership Program for Self-Transformation (SSSGC-YALST). The success of this program marked the commencement of planning for the year 2024 and the exciting prospects it holds for the future.
We are thrilled to announce that, we have received official approval from the management committees of SSSGC and SSSCT to organize and be a part of the 'Sri Sathya Sai – Global Young Adult Conference – SSS-GYAC 2024,' which will take place in our beloved Lord's chosen abode, Prasanthi Nilayam, Puttaparthi, in July 2024.
This conference will be a grand gathering of Young Adults from around the world, including India, providing a unique opportunity to connect with the universal Lord, Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, His teachings, and the sacred land of Puttaparthi. The primary objective of this program is to Reconnect with Swami and Prasanthi Nilayam, Recharge in S.A.I. Love (Sadhana/Seva, Activities/Adoration of God, Illuminate the Inner Divinity) by immersing in the divine vibes of the holy land, and experiencing Swami's love. We will also come together to Rejoice and cherish these moments in our lives.
To make this event a grand success, we will need support from Young Adults worldwide. We hope that we can join hands, work together, and offer our love, faith, events, and obedience at the Lotus Feet of our Dearest Lord, Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
If you have any questions and (or) looking for more YA updates, please reach out to our Female YA Rep Varsha Rao @ yafrep@loudounsai.org and Male YA Rep Arjun Sundaram @ yamrep@loudounsai.org

Seva opportunity for Neuroradiologists to serve Swami's hospitals, which perform over 30 MRI and 25 CT Scans everyday (of course, like every other service in His hospitals, without charge or fees). Since radiologists are able to read and report studies from remote locations, they are able to participate in this noble service from their homes.
Those interested in serving can contact either:
Dr. Geetha Kamath: Gjkamath@gmail.com
Dr. Ravi Goyal: md.region3@sssgc-usa.org
You can share your feedback by using “Contact Us” on our zonal website at
