Youth Day, 16 June 2025 · A Reflection by Sister Hevanya
As Youth Day was commemorated at Sri Sathya Sai Sudha Mandir, the hall echoed with deep spiritual inspiration as Sister Hevanya delivered a soul-stirring talk rooted in Swami’s teachings and her journey as a Sai Youth.
Her words were not just reflections — they were a divine reminder of what it means to walk the path of Sai Dharma in today’s world.
“Be leaders like lions – self-reliant, courageous, majestic, and just.” – Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
She beautifully shared that true leadership in the Sai path is about cultivating Atmabala (inner strength), Sathya (truth), and living as instruments of Swami’s love — not asserting authority.
A Journey of Spiritual Transformation
From her early Bal Vikas days to offering quiet service during bhajans, Sister Hevanya recalled how Swami was silently shaping her journey with love and patience.
“Back then, I didn’t fully understand. But Swami was quietly moulding me, like a sculptor working with love and patience.”
The Turning Point – YALST Programme
Describing the YALST programme as transformative, she emphasized that it wasn’t about learning to lead others, but about mastering the self through discipline and inner purity.
“It was about transforming myself, breaking down ego, and rising through discipline, love, and inner purity.”
Unity Through the Global Young Adults Conference
The highlight of her journey was the GYAC at Prasanthi Nilayam:
“To stand among youth from over 100 nations — each one moved by Swami’s message — was a glimpse of unity in its highest form. It was not a conference. It was communion.”
Living the Essence of Seva
She reminded all that Seva is not merely a deed but a sacred act of self-purification.
“When you serve others, you discover the Divine within.” – Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
A Loving Call to the Youth
“You are not ordinary. You have been chosen by Swami to walk this sacred path. Lead by your light, love with all your heart, and serve with humility.”
