Ancient Indian way of Education
The objective of the Sathya Sai way of education has always been to impart free values-based integral education that helps build character in the children, who are dedicated to serving the society.
Inspired by the ancient Indian way of education that caters to all aspects of human development with spiritual evolution at its very core, the Prashanthi Balamandira Trust®, Chikkaballapur has established the Sri Sathya Sai University for Human Excellence at Navanihal Village, Kamalapur Taluk, Kalaburagi District in Karnataka (a Private University established under Karnataka Legislative Act 2018). The University encapsulates values-based integral education in a unique residential environment, with the core idea to create individual excellence in all fields of knowledge with spirituality as its foundation. Based on the ancient Indian Gurukulam System of Education, the University shall promote and propagate the fields of Science, Humanities, all forms of fine arts, and the supreme knowledge derived from the field of spirituality, all completely free of any charges, to all students without any discrimination.
brahma vēda brahmaiva bhavati – mundaka upaniṣad (3.2.9)
Meaning: The one who knows Brahman (the Highest Self) becomes Brahman (that Self itself) This upaniṣadic thought is the fundamental principle of the Sri Sathya Sai University for Human Excellence, based on which sciences are taught alongside spirituality, humanities are taught alongside divinity, and excellence is taught alongside enlightenment.
