SSP Senior Program Survey
2022-11-30 08:00 - 2023-01-30 17:00
Sairam Saibandhus,
Shirdi Sai Parivaar was formed in October 2004 and the Shirdi Sai Center in Milpitas was established in 2010. Main goal of Shirdi Sai Parivaar has been to spread the teachings and philosophy of Shirdi Sai Baba and to be involved in various Charitable and Community based activities. In this regard, SSP is planning to initiate several projects for Senior Citizens. Short term goal of the project is to offer various activities/programs for Senior Citizens. Long term goal is to establish an independent senior living residential community for seniors who are self-dependent and do not need managed health care. This survey is being conducted to gauge the interest level and to understand the needs of senior citizens so that SSP can plan various activities accordingly.
The current plan we have is to offer activities for Senior Citizens for few hours in a week (58 years and above). This will be initially like a 2-hour program in our existing premises at SSP Milpitas and then eventually grow in a way that it can be offered all 5 days of the week. Kindly take
few minutes to answer these questions to help us understand the needs:

SSP Samapran Meditation workshop
2022-10-08 08:30 - 10:30
Sairam Devotees,
SSP is hosting “Samapran Meditation” workshop in collaboration with “samarpanmeditationusa“on Oct 8, 2022 at 8:30 AM.

Samarpan Meditation is not a technique or method of meditation; rather it is Sanskara (Spiritual Values) that gets instilled in the practitioners. Unlike other meditation methods, this path does not involve any kind of Asanas (physical activities), fasting, Kriya (complex techniques) or commercial transactions. It is not just a path of intellectual information (knowledge) that leads to Agnya (Third Eye) Chakra; rather it is a path of Anubhooti (spiritual experience) that helps one to reach to the Sahastrar (Crown) Chakra and then progress up to the Samadhi (transcendental state). Samarpan means ‘to totally and unconditionally surrender one’s ego’ or letting go of one’s past or future thoughts, anxiety, negativity, etc. When a practitioner completely surrenders himself to the divine energy of a Guru, all the knowledge, wisdom and values of the Guru gets automatically transferred to him. Meditation is living in the present moment following the inner voice (intuition or Dharma). Thus, Samarpan Meditation makes one’s Soul their own Guru.

Samarpan Meditation was brought from the Himalayas into the society by Shree Shivkrupanand Swami, an enlightened yogi living in India. Swamiji’s energies and aura have been scientifically researched and tested. In Swamiji’s vision “the world is one family”, and He aims to awaken every soul through Samarpan Meditation and raise the collective consciousness across the world as one human family. Samarpan Meditation is offered for FREE to everyone equally irrespective of race, religion, color, caste, language, gender, lifestyle, or nationality. Today, over 3 million people are associated with Samarpan Meditation in over 65 countries around the world. You can find more information about Swamiji and Samarpan Meditation on this video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnl51y8wA5w and Click Here
