World Youth Conference Coordinator's
Message to Sai Youth

With the Divine blessings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, an International Sri Sathya Sai World Youth Conference will take place, in the Divine presence, during the festival of Gurupoornima. The theme and structure of the Conference blessed by Swami is "Ideal Sai Youth - Messengers of Sai Love". The core themes underpinning the Sri Sathya Sai World Youth Conference will centre upon Swami’s guidance to the Youth and Spiritual Transformation. These are the fundamental questions and ideologies that our Sai Youth across the world, have desired to dive deep into.

Sadhana Program

Based on the input from Sai youth and leaders of the International Sai Organization, the Planning Committee of the Sri Sathya Sai World Youth Conference, 2007 presents this Sadhana (spiritual practices) program for the youth as an offering to our Beloved Swami.

We urge every Sai youth, even if they are not participating in the conference, to practice this program. Let us all offer the fruits of our efforts, with humility and love, at the Divine Lotus Feet of our Beloved Swami. The Sadhana program consists of nine spiritual activities to be undertaken by Sai youth. Each action is a form of spiritual discipline and together they enable a singular focus on the Divine.

• Spiritual Discipline 1—Practice Namasmarana - Chanting of The Lord's Name



• Spiritual Discipline 2—Read Swami's Discourses/Books Daily and Conduct Weekly Youth Study Circles



• Spiritual Discipline 3—Engage in Selfless Service Activity as a Group
