SAI-CARE An Offering for Humanity and Nation Building The SAICARE Programme was a two year programme organised in conjunction with the 85 th Birthday of Bhagavan Sathya Sai Baba. The SAICare programme involved the implementation of several service, human values, spiritual and youth projects over two years as our offering for Humanity and Nation Building. SAI-CARE focused on two important aspects. They were:- Integration Each project was to be driven by multi-racial teams headed by a Project Leader who reported to the respective Wing leader. The programme involved not only members of the centres but also the public. The programs offered were to be taken as an opportunity to connect with : a) Inter –religious groups b) Ethnic associations c) Community leaders d) Residents’ associations e) Institutions of learning Hence through this integration the vision that a Sai centre should blend and integrate with the community could be achieved. Through our sincere efforts in this programme, Sai centres would become instrumental in triggering and expanding consciousness by enabling public participation. Internalization Whilst it was important to achieve the intended target for all the respective projects within SAI-CARE programme, the more important aspect was to continuously dwell on the inner significance of the projects, the purpose and the transformational experiences one could have by engaging in these worthwhile projects. It is necessary to continue focusing our attention on our inner consciousness. We should have constant feed back sessions through healthy satsanghs to gauge our inner transformation. An evaluation form for self assessment was provided for this purpose. This evaluation form presented questions such as (1) How often do you get angry ? (2) How earnest are you in wanting to learn, imbibe and practise Swami’s teachings ? (3) How often do you meditate ? and many others, for discussion and feed back. This spiritual dimension of the SAICare project is the most important aspect of the programme. The transformational experiences of members of the organization or centres who have gained during this programme was documented including the miraculous nature on how the universe responds in achieving the targets. The 2 “I” s of the programme : Integration and Internalization would be the two eyes that would provide a refined vision to achieve what Bhagavan Baba says: “If a wave of service sweeps over the land, catching everyone in its enthusiasm, it will be able to wipe out the mounds of hatred, malice and greed that infest the world”. - Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
