Sri Sathya Sai Baba Center of Central San Jose

Selection Process 2023-2024

Choose men and women who have unshaken faith in this present Avatar, with this Name and Form. The leaders of these units lead because they have the vision and the yearning, not because they have the votes or the purse. The bliss they derive is the only reward they are after. These offices should not be regarded as positions of authority or ‘prizes’ for devotion. They must be accepted with humility and discharged with love towards members and the public.
