Sai Youth

"The future of the country depends on the skill and the sincerity of the youth. Therefore, the necessary enthusiasm and encouragement must be generated among the youth. All my hopes are based on the students, the youth. They are very dear to Me."

-Baba

The National Youth Wing is a branch of the Sathya Sai Service Organisation in the UK. Its role is to provide forums and opportunities to allow youth activities within the UK to flourish. Sathya Sai Baba has stated that, 'the age span 16 - 35 is crucial, for that is the period when life adds sweetness to itself, when talents, skills and attitudes are accumulated, sublimated and sanctified'. Therefore, this age group is the working definition for the youth wing.

The spiritual guidance of youth is of paramount importance to the success of the Sai mission. The foundations of morality and the benefits of virtuous living are of utmost significance. Hence, the aim of this wing is to build upon the knowledge and wisdom that has been conferred at the level of Sathya Sai Education. In this way, fundamental principles are re-iterated and expanded upon during the often difficult and uncertain period of adulthood.

Aims

To awaken in the youth the awareness of the inherent divinity within and to live in that awareness by developing their character through the practise of the basic principles of Sathya (Truth), Dharma (Right-Conduct), Shanti (Peace), Prema (Love) and Ahimsa (Non-Violence) as set by Sathya Sai Baba.

Objectives

To encourage and motivate the youth to take an active role within the Sri Sathya Sai Service Organisation.
To integrate youth activities within the existing structure of the Sai Organisation.
To encourage the youth to develop and practise spirituality in their daily lives.

The National Youth Wing plays an integral role within the Organisation, liaising and working in accordance with all the other wings.
