Om Sri Sai Ram

Welcome to this year's SSE E-Magazine titled "An Offering of Love." We humbly place this offering at the Lotus Feet of our Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. During these unprecedented times, we adapted and channeled our creativity for Swami's 95th Birthday Celebrations. Even if we are not connected physically, we wanted to join hands virtually and give a united offering to our Beloved Baba. Inspired by the Prema Vahini series written by Swami Himself, this E-Magazine embodies our love for Swami. In this website, you will find heartfelt submissions from SSE students and Gurus across Region 2. From poems and articles to drawings and puzzles, students and Gurus have symbolized their various Pathways of Love and their Gifts for Swami. For the best experience of enjoying the website, please navigate the website on a computer. We are blessed and thankful for the unique opportunity of ideating this website and compiling all of your beautiful submissions. As Swami lovingly says, "Once the Truth of the Indwelling Spirit is recognized, there dawns the awareness that the world is one family. One is then filled with Divine Love which becomes the driving force for all of one's actions, and man turns away from the pursuit of endless desires to the search for peace and equanimity." We hope you enjoy the E-Magazine, an offering of unity and love!

To our Dearest Swami, we love you so much and wish you Happy Birthday! ❤️️

We are accepting submissions up until Swami's birthday, November 23rd.

Please email submissions to sse.emagazine@gmail.com
