Theme: Divine Love is the Power and the Way

Om Sri Sai Ram!

We extend a warm invitation for you to join the SSSIO Online Birthday Celebration of Sri Sathya Sai Baba on November 20, 2021. Please use the link https://www.sathyasai.org/live to join.

The 2-hr program consisting of musicals, drama, speaker sessions, and children's play will take you on a journey through the stages of love, from understanding to practicing, to realizing it. 

Love of the Divine is of four kinds. One is Swartha-Prema (love based on self-interest). The second is Samanjasa-Prema, the third is Parartha-Prema, and the fourth is Yathartha-Prema.


Swartha-Prema is like a lamp kept in a room. The lamp illumines only the room. This kind of selfish love is confined to a limited group and does not extend to others.


Samanjasa-Prema may be compared to the light from the moon. This moonlight is visible both outside and inside. It is, however, not very effulgent. The light is dim. This kind of love extends to a wider group but is not very intense.


The third is Parartha-Prema. It is like sun-light. It illumines both inside and outside with brilliance. But it is not continuous in the sense that the sun is not visible at night. But this is not a permanent absence, because the sun rises again. Actually, the sun is always there. Likewise, this selfless love may appear to be absent some times, but it will appear again.


The fourth one is Yathartha-Prema or Atma-Prema This love is present always, inside and outside, in all places and at all times, in all circumstances. This is Divine Love. It is imperishable. It is eternal. It is immanent in everyone. When this love is manifested by a person, he achieves the peace that passeth understanding.
