Sai Organisation Events in Australia

Sai Health Week 2022

Sticky post

Mental Health in Children & Adolescents

For several years the Sai Medical Unit of Australia, has successfully conducted various workshops, forums and webinars during Sai Health Week.

This year, Sai Health Week will be observed from Saturday, 13 August to Sunday, 21 August. The theme for this year is “Mental Health in Children & Adolescents“.

During this week, there will be a variety of educational and informative activities on the topic of mental health in our younger population. This will be presented in the form of face-to-face events or virtual in some regions.

The last 2 years, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and all the changes that brought about, has seen a rise in mental health issues across all ages. These issues have often in the past been subject to stigma which has in turn proven a barrier to discussion and diagnosis.

We hope that by focusing on mental health in children and adolescents, we can educate and inform people on common issues such as depression, anxiety and behavioural disorders such as ADHD and autism spectrum disorder among others. This should help to break down stigma and barriers and encourage discussion among the community and health care providers.

Note: Dates may differ in some regions, please contact the Region Presidents to know more about the events organised in the respective regions;

Graffiti Removal Day

Graffiti vandalism is an eye-sore in many areas degrading the visual aspects of our environment and having significant costs to society in remedying its presence. Graffiti can be seen everywhere – in shopping centre facilities, on the walls and doors of commercial businesses, factories and healthcare organisation. This is common in most cities, damaging the appearance of buildings and draining commercial resources. NSW, where graffiti costs the Government and residents more than $300 million every year, has tackled the problem with an annual community action day.

Sai Parenting Panel Webinar: ‘Pragmatism versus Idealism’

The National Education Wing of SSSIO Australia is excited to launch its first parenting webinar for the 2021 SAI parenting series. This is available for anyone who would like some practical and constructive ideas on parenting the children of the Divine who have come to teach us as much as for us to teach them.  The 2021 parenting series is a continuation of the parenting webinars launched in 2020 but have been designed with a new interactive webinar format aimed at providing greater engagement for parents and interested people.

Christmas Online Program

Christmas is a joyous occasion of the year symbolising God’s care for humanity, love, hope and a coming together for many. This year, following the major health crisis and its consequential devastating impacts, its symbolism is perhaps more potent than ever.

Avatar Declaration Day

The 20 October is a special day celebrated by the SSIO. It marks the anniversary of the date in 1940 that its founder and guide, Sathya Sai Baba, declared Himself and took up His work of re-invigorating faith and love for God and guiding the transformation the individual and society through the practice of universal human values at a deep spiritual level and selfless service to those in need and the community in general.

Sai Health Week, 5 – 13 September

The Sai Medical Unit, a team of health professionals within the SSIO, following on the success of a number of events and seminars run for the previous year’s Women’s Health Week, are broadening their approach to include men’s health issues in this year’s activities. In keeping with COVID restrictions, they are providing two online webinars focusing on mind and heart-related matters.

SSIO Education Week

Education Week is an annual event observed in August by the SSIO with an emphasis on the Sai Spiritual Education program (SSE) encompassing the principles and aspects of education that Sathya Sai Baba taught for spiritual and social uplift and development. There is a primary focus on the human values of Peace, Truth, Right Conduct, Non-violence and especially Love, which are values enshrined in all the major religions.

National Tree Day

There is an expression, ‘plant a tree for your grandchildren’. The trees we plant generally develop their full grandeur and potential well beyond the life of those who plant them. However, even during our short span, they provide numerous services to humankind and the entire natural environment: shade; climate amelioration, global and local; habit and air services to name a few, not to mention their aesthetic appeal. The SSIO Australia will again participate in the national tree planting drive.

Service activities commemorating the 95th Year of the Advent if Sathya Sai Baba

NSW Region West of the SSIO Australia is commemorating the 95th Year of the Advent of Sathya Sai Baba with two special service activities: a Birthing Kit promotion and a prolonged Ceiling on Desires initiative.

National SSE Teacher Enrichment Day Program

The Education Wing of the SSIO Australia is holding an on-line session designed to enrich the teaching experiences of its Sai Spiritual Education (SSE) teachers. All SSE teachers and those interested in SSE are encouraged to join.
