Hurricane Relief Efforts

Michael Goldstein, Chairman, Prasanthi CouncilDear Brothers and

Sisters,Sai Ram!As Sai devotees, we long to be and see what is real. We long to

be embodiments of selfless love and see Divinity reflected in the eyes of our

brothers and sisters. Selfless service to those in need accelerates our

spiritual journey. One responsibility of the Sai Organization is to provide

Sai devotees with opportunities to be of service to their fellow human beings

and thereby come to realize their oneness with them and their own innate

Divinity.When there are natural disasters in our immediate environment, the

task is defined and cries out for response. Such is the catastrophic impact of

Hurricane Katrina in the Southern USA and the imminent threat of Hurricane

Rita. Many of our Sai Brothers and Sisters in the affected areas have already

begun to render assistance.The USA Sai Organization, under the leadership of

the President of the Central Council, Phil Gosselin, The Central Coordinator,

Vijay Desai, and the Zone Chairman, David Gries, have surveyed our resources

and the opportunities where we might be of service. They have constituted a

committee consisting of devotees in the regions within and surrounding the

stricken area. The committee will coordinate the efforts of those who are

willing and able to serve.In addition to dedicated Sai devotee workers, it will

be necessary to purchase goods and materials to distribute to the needy people

whose lives have been uprooted by this unprecedented disaster. A fund has

been established under the supervision of the Central Council President,

Central Coordinator, and Zone Chairman named above.

Those devotees who wish to contribute may do so. The information is

given below.Checks may be made out to “Whitefield Inc. – Hurricane Relief”.

Whitefield Inc. is a not-for-profit 501©3 organization. Mail to:Whitefield

Inc.c/o Vijay Desai108 Flaxwood LaneMinoa, NY 13116Email:

vijaydesai918 (AT) aol (DOT) comLet us all remember:Who we are: We are GodWhy we are: To

Glorify GodWhat we should do: Love and Serve selflessly.To remember these

things is the very purpose of our lives!Lovingly, In Sai Service,Michael

Goldstein
