Fees
No fee, ever
There is no fee or subscription for membership. The cost of routine service and spiritual activities is met by members themselves, voluntarily and without compulsion.
There is no fee or subscription for membership. The concept of fees or membership subscription is alien to the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations, for there cannot be any fee or subscription for one’s journey towards his own Self.
“You join the Samithi, you share in its activities, for your own sake; not for the sake of Sathya Sai or the Samithi started in that name. … This is a place for Saadhana, constant, vigilant Saadhana (spiritual striving).”
