Sai Ram, please circulate this announcement to all members regarding the opportunity to join an online course presented by the Center for Human Values in Prasanthi Nilayam: 

Sairam Dear Brothers and Sisters,

With the divine blessings of our Beloved Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, we are pleased to announce that we are offering the curtain raiser (an informative session) on December 6, 2025 for the Sri Sathya Sai Adhyatma Vidya Course, a foundation course offered by the Sri Sathya Sai Center for Human Values (SSSCHV), Prasanthi Nilayam. Please click this link to Sign Up and Join this curtain raiser.

Prof. A Sudhir Bhaskar, Director, SSSCHV, and Dr. Amey Deshpande, Resident Fellow, SSSCHV, will lead this session. They will present an overview of the course's vision, structure, and transformative potential, offering participants profound insights into the essence and objectives of this sacred Adhyatma Vidya initiative.

The Adhyatma Vidya Course is a 13-module program that will begin in January 2026 and spread over 20 weeks. The Program is entirely on-line with interesting videos, activities and assignments which will ensure the Divine Lessons are learnt and imbibed. Rooted in Bhagawan's teachings, the course is founded on the Nine-Point Code of Conduct, which serves as a practical framework for values-based and spiritually disciplined living.

This program is a certification program. Participants who successfully complete this course will receive the certificate in the Sai Kulwant Hall in the valedictory program held in June 2026. If the participants are unable to travel to Prasanthi Nilayam, the certificates will be delivered through a SSSGC representative.

Please watch this short introductory video for a quick overview of this foundation course.

The Sri Sathya Sai Educational Program Committee will lead and facilitate this course for our Zone 1 members. Participants are requested to commit to the following with a sincere willingness to internalize and practice the learnings from the course in their daily lives.

• Please dedicate approximately 2 to 3 hours per week during the course period for self-study and reflection.
• Participate in scheduled study circle sessions held every 3 to 4 weeks during the course period.

Together, let us embark on this sacred journey of Self-knowledge, guided by Bhagawan's timeless message and boundless grace.

"If we can understand and acquire the essence, Atma Vidya, then every other vidya will become available to you. That is why it has been said, 'Adhyatma Vidya Vidyanam.' Amongst all vidyas, Adhyatmic Vidya is the only true vidya."
