Sai Baba in the media

Words of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba from his Biography: "My Mission is to grant you Courage and Joy, to drive away Weakness and Fear. Do not condemn yourselves as sinners; sin is a misnomer for what are really errors, provided you repent sincerely and resolve not to follow Evil again. Pray to the Lord to give you the strength to overcome the habits which had enticed you when you were ignorant."

"I have come to light the lamp of Love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added luster. I have not come on any mission or publicity for any sect or creed or cause nor have I come to collect followers for any doctrine. I have no plans to attract disciples or devotees into my fold or any fold. I have come to tell you of the Universal, Unitary Faith, this Path of Love, this Duty of Love, this Obligation to Love." (Sri Sathya Sai Baba, 4 July 1968)

MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION

The process of educational change in our country has, since 1994 been
arguably the sternest challenge confronting our young democracy. In
spite of a dreadful legacy of a racially segregated education system and
curriculum, and vast inequalities between schools and other institutions
of learning, this process of change and transformation is showing
encouraging signs of progress.

The relatively short but proud history of the Shri Sathya Sai Seva
Organisation in South Africa is indicative of this progress. As Government,
we fully support the underlying principle on which Sathya Sai schools
operate, namely the provision of a value-based education that prepares
pupils for life, qualifying them as valuable assets to the society they
are entering. Few would argue with the fact that the values prioritised
in the Sathya Sai schools' curriculum, such as politeness, discipline
and respect, provide a strong foundation for building good moral
character in children.

Our country's Constitution has ushered in a new set of values, further
entrenched in the Department of Education's - "Values in Education"
initiative. Like the Sathya Sai schools, our mission is to regenerate the
ethical and moral fibre of our society and to infuse our young people
with a spirit of nation-building. Of course, these values should ideally
be internalised by all our people, but what better place to start than
in our schools.

The opening of the third Sathya Sai school in our country is indeed an
occasion to celebrate the wonderful gift of education and I am honoured
to be able to share this occasion with the pupils, parents and staff.
May this school have a long and successful history.

Professor Kader Asmal, MP Minister of Education,

18th September, 2002.
