The objective of this program is to implement a major component of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s Mission, serving the needy (Narayana Seva). Our plan began with distributing lunch parcels to the poor in and around Colombo, but with Swami’s Grace, foreign donors started to send a sizeable amount of funds to be used in distributing dry ration parcels to the elected poor families. We gratefully appreciate the generous help given by India, Nepal, Singapore, Myanmar, UK, USA, and Australia. The Narayana Seva project is continuing. The current seva includes the purchase and repacking of 07 Kg rice, 01 Kg of dhal, sugar, flour and distributing it among 2580 selected families in all parts of the country. - [Central Region](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/category/sri-lanka/narayana-seva/central-region/) - [Eastern Region](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/category/sri-lanka/narayana-seva/eastern-region/) - [Northern Region](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/category/sri-lanka/narayana-seva/northern-region/) - [Southern Region](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/category/sri-lanka/narayana-seva/southern-region/) - [Western Region](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/category/sri-lanka/narayana-seva/western-region/) - [Lessons](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/category/articles/lessons/) - Sai Ram Sri Lanka begins a new series of life lessons to improve your happiness and life skills ## Tags - [#paintitblue](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/paintitblue/) - [#onemission](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/onemission/) - [Thought for the day](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/thought-for-the-day/) - [Sri Sathya Sai Baba](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/sri-sathya-sai-baba/) - [Sai Baba](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/sai-baba/) - [centenary celebrations](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/centenary-celebrations/) - [Tree planting](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/tree-planting/) - [Maha shivaratri](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/maha-shivaratri/) - [Lingastakam](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/lingastakam/) - [Jaffna](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/jaffna/) - [Sri Lanka](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/sri-lanka/) - [Kayts](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/kayts/) - [Ragi Jawa Project](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/ragi-jawa-project/) - [Telugu New Year Day](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/telugu-new-year-day/) - [Prasanthi Nilayam](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/prasanthi-nilayam/) - [Navami](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/navami/) - [Sitha Ram](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/sitha-ram/) - [Sitha Ram Wedding Ceremony](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/sitha-ram-wedding-ceremony/) - [Lanka](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/lanka/) - [Buddhism](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/buddhism/) - [sai lanka](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/sai-lanka/) - [sssgc-srilanka](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/sssgc-srilanka/) - [Golden Jubilee Celebrations](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/golden-jubilee-celebrations/) - [Happy Earth Day](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/happy-earth-day/) - [Aradhana Day 2023](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/aradhana-day-2023/) - [narayana sewa](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/narayana-sewa/) - [Buddha Poornima](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/buddha-poornima/) - [Sai Ram Sri Lanka](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/sai-ram-sri-lanka/) - [Sai Organization Sri Lanka](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/sai-organization-sri-lanka/) - [lessons](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/lessons/) - [Guru Poornima](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/guru-poornima/) - [Global Council Centre Leaders Conference](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/global-council-centre-leaders-conference/) - [Global Council Exhibition](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/global-council-exhibition/) - [Young Leaders](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/young-leaders/) - [Divykathamrutham](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/divykathamrutham/) - [Tree Plantation](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/tree-plantation/) - [Jagarajupalli](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/jagarajupalli/) - [Kulwant Hall](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/kulwant-hall/) - [Sai Inspires](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/sai-inspires/) - [lalith ganhewa](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/tag/lalith-ganhewa/) ## Portfolio Categories - [Image Galleries](https://sssgc-srilanka.org/portfolio-category/image-galleries/)
