Sai Spiritual Education (SSE) Classes
Classes are held every Sunday between 4pm - 5.25pm followed by bhajans from 5:30pm to 6:30pm where children can sing and lead bhajans. One week every month is exclusively for children and youth to lead the devotional songs.
Spiritual education is not a separate and distinct discipline. It is part and parcel
of all types and levels of education.
The SSE classes are for children from 4 years to 17 years. The intent of the classes is to guide the children through the various phases of their life. Specifically:
- Instill & relate to the five inter-related human values of Truth, Love, Peace, Non-Violence and Right Conduct
- Instill good discipline and character in children's life
- Appreciate & relate family values and its ties
- Enhance Focus, Self-confidence and Self-esteem
- To help children to handle practical situations (including teen years)
- Have children learn all the above with Fun!!
