4 Foreword from the State President, Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation, Kerala Aum Sri Sai Ram Loving Sai Ram to all of you. May the infinite grace of Swami be with all of us forever. When we look back to 2017 Swami blessed us to place a number of activities at the Divine Lotus Feet was the year for Going Inward and Reaching Out. Under this, we could strengthen the personal Sadhana and community Sadhana. Seva activities multiplied. A number of programmes for the benefit of all were carried out. Sai Agrivarsh, Disaster Management Camps, Free Dialysis Project, SSSVIP etc. are only some of them. Under the outreach programmes, activities were organised for students, teachers, Parents, doctors, Lawyers etc. Total adoption of the tribal colonies at Attappadi, is a real challenging work taken up by the organisation during Under Sri Sathya Sai Vasthudhara Project, houses were built for the needy people. Narayana Seva is extended to streets obeying Divine command that this should be at their door steps and not ours. During 2017, there was Parthi Yathra by different groups. Youth, media etc. are some of them. When we look forward, Swami has made the path so clear for each one of us. Yes, we pray to Him to hold our tiny hands and to be with us at every step.
