Sai Ram
Welcome to the Sathya Sai Baba Center of Lomita!
We have approximately 60 members and have been established in this location since 1996. We meet every Friday evening at 7.30pm for Study Circle and Bhajans (Multilingual Devotional Singing). We have a wonderful Sai Spiritual Education (SSE) program for children every Sunday at 10:00AM -12:00PM. Our community service projects are listed below and all members and friends of the Center are welcome to participate. We have many books on Sathya Sai Baba, which describe his life and teachings, and every 2nd Friday, we show videos/DVDs of Sathya Sai Baba as well as videos of leaders of the Sathya Sai Organization sharing their direct experiences. We invite you all to join us in experiencing Swami’s Divine Love.

SAI SPRIRITUAL EDUCATION (SSE)
The SSE classes for Children focus on the study of Sai Baba’s five human values: Truth, Peace, Love, Right Conduct and Non-Violence. Classes include Mantras, Devotional Singing and Universal prayers from all religions. The classes are fun and interactive and children learn Baba’s teachings, participate in skits and play value games. An important part of the curriculum is Unity in Diversity and children are familiarized with basic principles of the major world religions. Field trips include environmental projects, charity craft projects such as making Valentine cards and Easter egg baskets for underprivileged children and seniors, and trips to various religious sites such as temples, churches, mosques and synagogues.
