Institutions and Projects - Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust

To carry out the mission of Sri Sathya Sai Baba and to manage the activities at Prashanthi Nilayam in Puttaparthi and Brindavan near Bangalore, a Trust was formed in 1972 called "Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust". Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is the founder Trustee himself and the Trust has become the main executing agency for all his works.

"Service to Man is Service to God,
Hands that help are holier than lips that pray,
Love All, Serve All",

these are the watchwords of this charitable organisation. It functions with the help of unsolicited contributions received from devotees all over the world.

More than 100,000 persons are working for the Trust on a voluntary basis and more than 10,000 persons are paid employees in various institutions run by the Trust. This apart, there are over 30,000 Sathya Sai Centers spread over 137 countries expressing themselves through three wings: Spiritual, Educational and Service.
