Dear Devotees of SSIO-USA
“Money is the root cause of misunderstandings and factions. Keep it in the background; give it the least importance. Have love, humility, detachment and service as your funds.” SSS Vol8, Ch44
It has come to our attention that Individuals in the organization have lost large sums investing with or lending to “devotees” who use their past association with Sathya Sai and His organization to garner trust and secure money.
Please keep in mind: One should only engage in spiritual activities in the Sai Organization and one should not use the organization and its contacts to further their own business or for personal gain. Just because someone is prominent within devotional circles does not guarantee a significant talent in financial, business or other dealings. Just because Sathya Sai has supposedly blessed a project, that does not mean that it is bound to succeed or that others should get involved.
We should always use our discrimination along with properly understanding Sathya Sai’s multiple messages of caution when dealing with money.
We should not be distracted from our spiritual journey or be victimized by the unscrupulous who might even use His Holy Name to gain funds from trusting people. To capitalize on devotees’ love for Sathya Sai Baba is a terrible form of deceit. Please be cautious; and if you suspect any of your Sai brothers or sisters might be at risk of such promises please caution them.

USA Regions, center presidents and
worldwide devotees are warned

From: Jack Feely
Subject: Letter regarding individuals soliciting of funds
Sai Ram Regional Presidents,
Please share this letter with all centers in your regions and ask the Center Presidents to share it will all the devotees in their centers.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Greetings of loving Sairam to all of you.
It has come to our attention that a few individuals promoting the activities of the Muddenahalli Group are contacting Sathya Sai devotees in the USA to solicit funds in the name of Swami, saying that Swami is speaking through them. These individuals do not represent the Sathya Sai International Organization (SSIO), which is the organization founded by our Lord, and to which Lord Sai graciously lent His name. The SSIO strictly adheres to the principles laid down by Swami.
We urge all Sathya Sai devotees to pay careful attention to Swami’s divine discourses where He has always emphasized that He has a unique heart-to-heart relationship with each devotee, and He has no intermediaries. In His divine discourses delivered on November 21, 1988, and October 20, 2002, Swami categorically and emphatically instructs all devotees that He expects only pure love and cautions everyone to stay away from misguided people who collect money saying that Swami speaks through them. Please see http://sathyasai.org/announcement/divine-reassurances for further details.
In closing, it is important to remember how fortunate we are to have the teachings of our Lord Sai to guide us and protect us and keep us from being misled by others who distort His teachings for their own purposes.
Lovingly in the Service of Sai,
Dr. Mike Congleton
Central Coordinator, USA

No Solicitation of Funds
Video Clips from Divine Discourses
Om Sri Sai Ram.
Please see below the links for short clips from two divine discourses:
In the divine discourse delivered on 21 November 1988, He categorically and emphatically instructs all devotees that He expects only pure love and cautions everyone to stay away from solicitation of funds. He also warns that there are some who bring a bad name to Swami by claiming that they are possessed by Swami and that Swami is speaking through them, and Swami has given special powers to them. Swami says this is demonic behaviour.

Published on 30 Jun 2015 - Sathya Sai International Organisation, Bhagawan talks about not soliciting funds and that He does not enter into anyone's body to communicate. Transcript below:
All our discipline must be associated and based upon Love.
All the practices in our organization should not be like military force, but must be full of Love.
You should speak with Love.
If there is a mistake, they should be pointed out with love.
You should be filled with love in every aspect of our life.
It is in this context remember to:
Start the day with love
Spend the day with love
Fill the day with love
End the day with love
This is the way to God
Love is God.
God is all pervasive.
You are all embodiments of Love.
Live with Love
Serve with Love
Enjoy with Love
And merge into Love
This is the very basic duty of Service.
Do not give room for money or power in the organization. There must be love everywhere.
The relationship should be heart-to-heart and full of Love everywhere and in every aspect.
I don’t need temples.
I am not even interested in performing yagas and yajnas (ritualistic sacrifices).
Our own work is yajna.
Our own service is yaga.
Right from today, you should give up the bad habit of collecting money for the sake of constructing the temples or undertaking yajnas.
I’ve been telling a number of times that your focus should be not on collecting money but on developing good virtues.
In the name of Swami, there are some people who collect money saying that Swami has possessed them, speaks through them and that He has given power to them. There cannot be more demonic acts than this.
Neither I enter anybody nor do I tell anyone to act on behalf of me.
By making use of Swami’s name and going in this crooked path they are getting bad name to Swami.
They are making this into a business.
The business that you should carry on is giving love and receiving love.
bHAGAWAN PROMISED HIS MOTHER TO REMAIN IN pUTTAPARTHI
On 20th October 2002, Bhagawan proclaimed and assured His mother and the devotees that He will never leave Puttaparthi. He chose to take birth in Puttaparthi. He spent most of His time blessing and guiding devotees in Puttaparthi. Finally, He left His physical form in Puttaparthi. He continues to bless us in His omnipresence. Therefore, this Punyabhumi (holy land) is thrice blessed.
Published on 25 Jun 2015 - Sri Sathya Sai International OrganisationHear Swami's earnest promise to His mother that He will always be in Puttaparthi.
Let us dedicate our lives with one-pointed attention and love to Swami,
His Message and His glorious mission,
and march forward to reach the goal supreme.
Lovingly in the Service of Sai,
Narendranath Reddy, M.D.
Chairman, Prasanthi Council
