General Information
Sai Spiritual Education (SSE) classes at Sathya Sai Center of Shrewsbury are designed for children whose parents are devotees of Sri Sathya Sai Baba. These classes are conducted by devotees who have been trained by the Sri Sathya Sai Organisation.
The core content relates to the five universal human values of Truth, Right Action, Peace, Love, and Nonviolence.
The Five Teaching Techniques
A philosophy of Sathya Sai Education is experiential, transformational, and integral. In addition to an emphasis on the indispensable
role of the teacher as exemplar, there are five recommended teaching techniques. Along with compatible teaching strategies, these five techniques provide the full range of learning activities and embrace body, mind, and spirit.
They are: Storytelling, Prayer or Quotations, Silent Sitting or Tuning-in, Group Singing, and Group Activities.
Storytelling captures the imagination, engaging the heart and intellect in a dynamic process of making meaning and relevancy in one’s life while providing models of human behavior, faith, and wisdom. Prayer, or an inspirational quotation, elevates the mind and heart to the noblest ideal. Music and song bring joy and love, while Silent Sitting develops the capacity for concentration, intuition, creativity, and quietude. Group activities are designed to integrate the experience of human values in thought, word, and deed.
