A Warm and Loving Sai Ram Dear\u00a0Members,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Hope all of you had a Divine and Wonderful Week with Swami\u2019s Grace!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

With the Divine Grace of our Dear Swami, last Saturday we had wonderful, blissful, and vibrant Dasara Bhajans @ Jella\u2019s residence.\u00a0 We thank Swami for the opportunity, all members, SSSE kids, YAs for offering their love by singing to our Dear Mother Sai, and hosts for opening up their home for this offering.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This Sunday October 20th – Avatar Declaration Day Celebration with special guest speaker Brother Arun Uthayan (Canada) from 9:30 AM EST onwards at Hovatter Elementary School. Please see the flyer below in the Devotional section.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“When the Divine comes down as Avatar\u2015whether it be as Rama or as Krishna, Matsya (fish), Varaha (boar) or Vamana (dwarf\u2015it is only for one purpose. You recognise only the momentary results of the advent. But you should note that the Divine comes as Avatar only to teach mankind the truth about love\u2026.. Love alone is the fruit of love.\u00a0Love is its own witness.\u00a0There is no trace of self-interest in it. Because love exists for its own sake, it has no fear. It is to teach humanity the way of love that Avatars come in the world.\u00a0The world displays the diversity that has emanated from the One. The Divine demonstrates the unity that subsumes the diversity.\u00a0Recognition of this unity in diversity can be learnt only from the Divine.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Region 2 Fall YA Retreat from November 29th – December 1st, 2024:<\/strong> Sairam Dear Young Adults,
    I hope this message finds you well!\u00a0With Swami's blessings, we are excited to announce that we will be conducting a region-wide Fall YA Retreat from November 29th – December 1st, 2024 (Thanksgiving Weekend) at the Vraj Temple in Schuylkill Haven, PA. The Retreat will be centered around the theme, \u201cThe Attitude of Gratitude.\u201d
    We look forward to coming together as the Region 2 YA community and urge you all to register using this link by Saturday, September 28th, 2024.<\/p>\n

    Please see the attached flyer for more details and as always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us!
    Let us all celebrate this Thanksgiving together by showing our gratitude to our Beloved Swami. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Loving Sairam,

    We express our immense gratitude to Dearest Swami in launching the \u201c100 Acts of Kindness<\/strong>\u201d National Sri Sathya Sai Global Council-USA Young Adult Service Project: a Heartfelt YA Service Offering to Our Dearest Swami, On Occasion of Swami's Holy Centennial Birthday Celebrations! <\/p>\n

    We envision every YA across the U.S. to fulfill at least\u00a0100 acts of kindness each,\u00a0leading up to\u00a0Swami\u2019s Centennial Celebrations\u00a0in November 2025. Partaking in this service sadhana is a special opportunity to offer our deepest gratitude to Swami through our unity of thought, word, and deed.<\/p>\n

    “Acts of kindness\u201d\u00a0could be\u00a0leaving a kind thank you note, giving a small token of appreciation to the local fire station or custodial staff, spending time with the elderly, or just taking the time to smile and listen to others!\u00a0It is any act of selflessness that promotes positivity and looking outwards to \u201csee the Sai in all.\u201d Each time you partake in an act of kindness, kindly log in your service experience through this brief Google Form: <\/strong>https:\/\/forms.gle\/uVmgmYhhqGWdfK4b6<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Through this Google Form, we hope to collect an abundance of heartfelt reflections that can be compiled and expressed in a final offering for Swami\u2019s 100th Birthday. It will be inspiring to read about the diversity of service projects and acts of kindness completed by all of us YAs, through a spirit of unity and teamwork. <\/p>\n

    The 100 Acts of Kindness Service Project is simply a goal, as the magnitude of our devotion and love cannot be quantified for our Dearest Swami! Let us all join together in offering these service acts of kindness to our Dearest Swami and may we experience His infinite love and grace<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you have any questions and (or) looking for more YA updates, please reach out to our\u00a0Female YA Rep Varsha Rao @ yafrep@loudounsai.org<\/a><\/a> and\u00a0<\/strong>Male YA Rep Arjun Sundaram<\/strong> @ yamrep@loudounsai.org<\/a><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
