New Official Webiste of Sri Sathya Sai Books and Publications Trust,Prashanti

Nilayamhttp://www.sssbpt.org/The Sri Sathya Sai Books and Publications Trust -

a public charitable Trust, established on 19-6-1983 with the guidance and

blessings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba with the noble objective of

disseminating the Divine Message of human values - Sathya (Truth), Dharma

(Righteousness), Shanti (Peace), Prema (Love) and Ahimsa (Non-violence) through

its publications in different forms, made a modest beginning with a handful of

books for the benefit of visiting devotees. Over a period of years it grew in

bulk and quality commensurate with the ever-increasing demand of the

ever-growing number of devotees. The Book Trust took cognizance of the liking

and aspirations of the devotees and put up

with them in such a big way that the Trust's Book Stall began to be flooded with

books dealing with a wide variety of aspects relating to spirituality, all with

their eyes on the subjects discoursed on, or discussed and clarified by the

ultimate in the subject - Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. The Sri Sathya Sai

Books and Publications Trust, or the Book Trust as it is often referred to, is

headed by the Convener, as chief functionary, looking after day-to-day

administration. It's activities - production and sale of Sai literature,

printing and publishing of Sanathana Sarathi monthly magazine in English and

Telugu, production and sale of audio and video cassettes, CDs and DVDs etc.,

are within the purview of the Trust's administration and control. The Trust has

a publication Board to review and approve manuscripts and books in English and

Telugu, authored by prominent writers on the subject of Sai Ideals and

Philosophy as also experiences of longstanding devotees. The Trust also

publishes some of these books on ascertaining their utility and acceptability.

Hundreds of such books have thus been either given approval to or published by

the Trust during the past two decades. The Trust also undertakes the sale of

publications in other Indian and Foreign languages. Those in Indian languages

have to obtain a nod of approval from the concerned bodies in the regional

languages of the concerned state, while the Regional Coordinators in liaison

with concerned publishing bodies of overseas countries fulfil this

responsibility in respect of languages relating to the area of their

jurisdiction. The Book Stall of the Trust has now in its shelves more than 1000

titles of Books providing Sai Literature in 14 Indian and 26 Foreign Languages.

In order to meet the ever-increasing demand and growing activities, a new

commodious building

was inaugurated on the 23rd of August 2001 by Bhagawan. Situated on the slope of

a hillock, in the western end of Prasanthi Nilayam, the structure stands

majestically commanding a broad view of the vast expanse of green land on the

west. The hillock in the rear with its lush green top acts as a fitting

background. This modern construction has no floor-wise division but only

'levels' as it is built on an incline taking advantage of the natural contour.

The various units of the Book Trust located therein include a spacious Book

Stall on the ground floor (level), the audio and video sales section on the

mezzanine, the audio and video recording room on the second level, and the

Administrative Office, Sanathana Sarathi, the Multimedia Room cum Theatre,

Conference Room and the Library on the 3rd (top) level. The opening of a well

equipped Library cum Reading Room within the main building has greatly

facilitated hundreds of

visiting devotees to get acquainted with old as well as latest Sai literature in

all languages and to avail themselves of necessary facilities for taking down

notes and Photostat copies of extracts.http://www.sssbpt.org/
