The present structure and functions of the Sri Sathya Sai
International Organization (SSSIO) were established and guided by
Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Himself. The SSSIO is committed to
maintaining its sanctity by following His Divine Command and
Instructions. The Managing Trustee of the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust
(SSSCT) has rejected the revised Terms of Reference (TOR) submitted by
the SSSIO. SSSCT has not honored its own assurances and unilaterally
replaced it with a revised TOR which disrupts the existing structure and
functions of the SSSIO given by Swami.
In relation to the formation of the Global Council there are many
rumors and myths spread through social media and emails as the Sri
Sathya Sai International Organization did not join the Global Council.
We sincerely believe the answers below shall clarify many questions of
the members.
SSSIO officers and Prasanthi
Council members are dispersed around the world. The fact is that the
each country would have its own headquarters for its operations.
Swami made many changes when He
was in the physical form, but He never changed His direction that the
Prasanthi Council and the World Foundation should be the governing and
administrative bodies of the SSSIO.
No. Swami set up the Sri Sathya
Sai World Foundation (SSSWF) and the Prasanthi Council to govern and
administer all functions of the SSSIO respectively. SSSWF is a legal
body independent of the Central Trust.
Dr. Anupom Ganguli and Mr.
Leonardo Gutter give a detailed account of the interactions of the SSSIO
and SSSCT from Nov 2020 to the present as they were present.
No. The SSSIO leadership
including the Board of the Directors of the SSSWF, Members of the
Prasanthi Council and Zone Chairs unanimously selected Dr. Reddy to
continue as Chairman of the SSSIO.
