Buddha Purnima occurs on the full moon of the lunar month of Vaisaskh and marks the three dates of Lord Buddha’s birth (approximately 500 B.C.), his enlightenment, and his passing.
An incarnation of Maha Vishnu, Lord Buddha descended to remind humanity of the essence of spirituality: living beyond ritual with compassion, non-violence, and dedication to the non-dual, Absolute truth. Though born as a crown prince, he renounced all material comforts to search out the truth of suffering and how humankind can be liberated from it. After practicing rigorous disciplines, Lord Buddha ultimately adopted the middle path, the path of inner and outer balance, and attained enlightenment while immersed in meditation under the Bodhi tree. Lord Buddha’s dedicated search for the truth is an example for all spiritual seekers; his teachings on non-violence, compassion, and principled living are a living testimony of his endless compassion for humanity.

In Sanskrit, “sat-sang†translates to “reality-being†or being in the presence of the Master. Satsang frees one from all delusion, the plays and doubts of the mind, and is thus praised by the ancient sages as granting ultimate liberation.
Out of his boundless compassion, the Master extends the divine communion which he always enjoys to an external manifestation for all to revel in; he creates the fertile environment for all to access the peace, joy, and bliss within. During Swamiji’s satsangs, group singers lead devotees in ecstatic singing and chanting dedicated to God. Swamiji shares precious truths which ignite the awareness of listeners and grant them the courage, inspiration, and solace to advance in the inward journey.
We welcome all to come and join in these vibrant, purifying, and healing gatherings in the presence of Guru Maharaj Swami Sai Premananda. Read more »

Sadhana alone is the inward path, be you a Muslim, a Christian, a Hindu, or a Jew. The ones who have sat down and done the internal work come to the same truth. The only reality is within you all.
- Swami Sai Premananda
Sadhana is the effort exerted or sacrifice made to realize the divinity within us and around us. Swamiji often emphasizes mantra repetition as a simple but powerful means for removing past impressions from our psyche, imbibing the divine qualities of our object of contemplation, and granting ultimate peace by stilling the mind and basking in the beauty of the holy name.
It is only God and Guru who facilitate the process of spiritual striving and sacrifice selflessly of themselves so that the process can culminate in union with the Absolute for the aspirant.
The upcoming Sadhana Satsang includes chanting of the Sai Gayatri Mantra. All are welcome to attend. Read more »

“Shiva is only Consciousness. He simply sits there completely still and silent, just breathing out truth to the universe; just breathing out truth—that is all. And when people sincerely seek the truth, the Shiva aspect takes birth as the Guru to teach and help these seekers attain the truth. This is why all Gurus are one: All Masters only come from Shiva. Shiva is the immortal Guru-principle.â€
-Swami Sai Premananda
