Daily & Weekly Quotes
Give importance to the teachings and ideals of Krishna. Krishna is not different from His teachings. Krishna is Gita, Gita is Krishna. Likewise, Swami is not different from His teachings. Swami’s word is Swami.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba, September 4, 1996
What is this initiative?
A dedicated team of volunteers curates the daily quotes, enriching the homepage of Sri Sathya Sai International Organization (SSSIO) (www.sathyasai.org), as well as the SSSIO WhatsApp and Telegram channels. These nuggets of wisdom are then organically disseminated worldwide, fostering spiritual growth and connection.
Furthermore, every Thursday, we unveil a Weekly Quote on our social media platforms, adorned with inspiring graphic designs to uplift and motivate.
"Don’t dwell on the past. Focus on the present. Henceforth, walk the path of nobility. Let there be no room for envy, animosity, or resentment. Embrace the principle of 'Help ever, Hurt never.'"
Sri Sathya Sai Baba, November 20, 1995

Unique opportunity

We are blessed to take part in this Divine task of going through Swami's Divine Discourses and writings and we express heartfelt gratitude to Swami for granting us this wonderful service opportunity.

I do not give ‘speeches’; My talks are more of the conversation type. I want that you should follow every word of what I say with reverent attention, for your joy is My food. You can get joy (anandam) only by following the advice I give you, and this is why I am particular that you should listen carefully and take to heart all that I say.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba, February 20, 1955
