Underlying Philosophy

The Sai Educational Institutions have been established not merely to enable students to earn a living but to make them acquire good traits, lead ideal lives, and give them ethical, moral and spiritual strength. I have established them with a view to inculcate love and teach good qualities to students. They will learn here humility, discipline and faith.
I have established these institutions to impart spiritual education as a main component and worldly education as a secondary one. Education should enable one to cultivate good qualities, character and devotion.
This will be a Gurukula – a place where teachers and students will grow together in love and wisdom – and like the ancient system of education, it will develop in its students a broad outlook and promote virtues and morals, which serve to foster noble ideals in society.
This Institute will be a temple of learning where children are shaped into self-reliant, contented and enterprising heroes of action and self-sacrifice, for the purpose of serving humanity.

The Vision

To assist generations of students acquire Self-knowledge (Atma Vidya) and Self-confidence (Atma Vishwas), so as to cultivate Self-sacrifice and earn Self-realisation; thereby moulding them into leaders who will benefit society.

During the inauguration of His first Educational institution at Ananthpur in 1968, Baba said in His Divine Discourse, “Educational field is like a bank that provides good citizens to the society. Providing good citizens to the society is the responsibility of the bank. If it fails to do so, then the bank goes
bankrupt. If the bank called education system turns bankrupt, it is a national tragedy.” If this bank is to be safeguarded from bankruptcy, it is possible only through Education in Human Values, the concept given by Swami.

What is education? What is the meaning and the purpose of education? What actually is to be taught in education? What is Education in Human Values? How to give it to children of all levels? How should the educational institutions be operated? What are the roles of teachers, students and parents? How to coordinate spiritual education with today’s modern education? Baba has mentioned such matters in His discourse. He has also penned an invaluable work Himself, called the ‘Vidya Vahini’ in His Vahini series.

Divine Teachings

✓ The service rendered to children is the most sacred.
✓ If education is the root of a tree, then character must be its fruit.
✓ Education is not just studies, nor bookish knowledge; it is the evolution of humanity.
✓ Education is not for life, but for the fulfilment of life.
✓ The ultimate goal of education is character building.

Bhagawan has propogated many such universal and timeless messages. He laid the concept of holistic education to enrich our students physically, mentally, intellectually, emotionally, morally and spiritually through school education.

Swami advocated a holistic education that combines both basic education and modern education from Kindergarten (KG) to Post Graduate (PG) level. Instead of just speaking about them, He Himself set up model educational institutes at Brindavan, Puttaparthi, Anantapur and Bangalore. These institutions are functioning as exemplars for the world by providing free education from KG to PG.

He founded not only schools and colleges but also a Deemed University. Through His educational institutions, He set an ideal not only for schools and colleges, but also how the universities should operate. That is why the NAAC committee has openly commended in its report that Sri Sathya Sai Deemed University is the model for all the universities in the country. All these institutions are being managed by the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust in an
excellent manner.

This system of education blessed by Sri Sathya Sai Baba is called Ideals of Sri Sathya Sai Education. Jnanpeeth Awardee litterateur Dr. V.K Gokak has written a book on this and introduced the ideals of Sri Sathya Sai to the world.

All these messages are the beacons to the education sector of the world. In this light, hundreds of Sri Sathya Sai schools were opened not only in India but also in many parts of the world with the blessings of Bhagawan Baba. Baba’s guideline is that every Sathya Sai school should function as an exemplary lighthouse.
