Om Shri Sai Ram,

As a young boy, I believed that if people helped each other even a little, it would greatly improve the lives of those in need. I imagined that scholars, with their knowledge and wisdom, would have all the answers and be able to guide us on the right path. This belief motivated me to work hard in school, hoping to reach a position where I, too, could make a difference. I had immense respect for my high school teachers, whom I saw as potential saviors of the world.

However, when I began my studies in higher education, I was disappointed to find that many of my professors seemed more focused on themselves than on the world’s problems. This realization was painful, especially as I was already struggling academically. Disillusioned, I stopped attending classes. I would leave home as if going to school, but instead, I would sit in a nearby park, trying to come to terms with this disappointment.

After a few weeks, I decided to find another path to fulfill my desire to contribute to society. I turned to sports, hoping to achieve a platform through tennis from which I could speak to the world. I trained tirelessly from early morning until evening, but after a few years, it became clear that I didn’t have the talent to progress to the professional level I had hoped for.

At that time, I had already learned about Parthi Sai and continued attending gatherings, where I absorbed valuable teachings. However, I didn’t find the creative space there to contribute in the way I believed Parthi Sai intended.
Then, in 2020, Bhagwan Shri Sanjay Sai gave me the opportunity to serve as the International SSSSB Coordinator, a role that felt like the most important and essential position I could hold in today’s world.

Since childhood, I’ve seen spiritual programs as essential, offering knowledge about a meaningful way of life. With the rise of modern technology—TV, phones, and especially the internet—spiritual programs have only grown in significance. Yet, as interest in spirituality has declined among some, Swami’s SSSSB program has become even more vital.

The true purpose of these programs is to inspire a transformation toward a better character. Without this transformation, the program’s mission is incomplete. I see Swami’s SSSSB program as indispensable for all of us, as it brings insight, wisdom, and balance to our lives. By practicing its teachings, we can continuously transform ourselves and move toward perfection.

My role as International SSSSB Coordinator enables me to guide the program for maximum impact, inspiring participants to grow and improve. The effect of the SSSSB program is clearly visible among its dedicated participants; parents, schools, and others who witness the positive changes in children are grateful and willing to support it however they can.

I also want to acknowledge that many other programs from different organizations contribute to the character growth of their participants, working toward a better world. I am deeply grateful to Bhagwan Shri Sanjay Sai Baba for granting me this profound opportunity to serve.

Om Sairam,

Om Shree Sai Ram 🙏
As a science student during my school and college years, I did not believe in gods and found the concept of being religious or a dharmatma unappealing. Visiting temples and performing puja sounded mechanical, and the term "spirituality" wasn’t even in my vocabulary. However, I did believe in living a life grounded in simplicity, truthfulness, and a soft-spoken nature. With Swamy’s divine grace, I became involved in his mission from the very beginning, joining the organization as a sewa dal member in the first year of its inception. For Swamy’s 19th birthday celebration, five sewa dal groups were created, and I was honored to be a part of one of them. I regularly attended programs at the Ashram and gradually began internalizing Swamy’s teachings through his divine discourses on Saturdays and special occasions.
Over time, these teachings transformed me into a spiritual person, though the journey took a while. I attribute all this transformation to Swamy’s grace and humbly bow at his divine lotus feet. In 2022, respected Guru Daju invited me to attend the SSSSB classes. Although hesitant at first, as I was not a teacher, I agreed to participate as an observer. Today, I feel deeply grateful to be part of this spiritual family, from which I have learned so much.
I realized that the "Family Class" model is essential in today’s world, where grandparents, parents, and children come together, inspiring each other to learn and live values daily. This communal approach is key to self-transformation. Guru Daju has crafted a complete program package aimed at personal growth and spiritual transformation. SSSSB classes are valuable not only for children but for everyone, adults, as they encompass physical, mental, academic, and spiritual development—essential in today’s world.
Often, we think only elders or teachers guide children. Yet, in SSSSB, we also learn from children, which is truly remarkable. The SSSSB platform encourages us to apply Swamy’s teachings in daily life and inspires us to grow together. As of today, the quality of the classes is exceptional.
Om Sairam.

My Soul Blossom classes journey started in the year 1997 as a parent to my daughter. Initially I
had first been to Balvikas Class for 6 to 8 months as a parent and then later on as a guru where I
was asked to do some stories or plays games with children in class

My first Bal Vikas class was inaugurated on the occasion of Makarsankranti in January 1998 in
Kandivali area at my home. Later on during 2016, we started our First Shri Sanjay Sai Soul
Blossom Class of Mumbai chapter at our house -Gokul Gagan where all the non devotees parents
with their children attended the class.

In our Soul Blossom Class, we play games, do shloka chanting , meditation , storytelling with
children and carry on various seva activites through which we impart Swami’s teachings as
Love all Serve All , Sharing And Caring ,Help Ever Hurt Never etc . We motivate parents to
participate with their children in different festivals/ activities like 15 August Independence Day,
Ganesh Chaturthi Festival, Diwali Joy Packets Seva, Mango Seva distribution, Buttermilk/ Chaas
Distribution in summer etc.

Later in the year 2022, Gokul Gagan soul blossom class was merged with Holland Chapter under
Mr .Sunil Maripan whom we lovingly call as Guru Daju . Mr. Sunil Maripan is the head of
Holland chapter and also the head of International Soul Blossom Classes. After joining Holland
chapter, I have become a part of the International soul blossom class, participating regularly in
various Soul Blosom Classes for children of Nepal / Congo/ India.
I pray to Bhagawan to make us his instrument in carrying out activities in his divine mission and
to shower his love and grace on us
