Sai Sudha Jerrybandan, the daughter of His Holiness Swamiji SRI SADGURU BABAJI RAMNARINE (BABAJI), has followed her father's footsteps by spearheading Om Tat Sat Institute of Yoga's mission throughout the world.
Sai Sudha graduated from Florida International University with a B.A. in Mass Media and Communication. Her thesis film "Guru: The Divine Light" was presented at the Miami International Film Festival, and receieved the best of reviews. After a year of working in the T.V. industry in Miami, Florida, Sai moved to Hollywood, California to continue her studies in filmmaking. She graduated from the Los Angeles Film School as a Film Director in 2005. Her short film "Vice Versa" was not only entered into many film festivals internationally, but was also selected as one of the top three films made at the Los Angeles Film School that year. After graduating, she opened Humanity Films Inc., a Hollywood-based production company.
Sai Sudha had the blessings of Swamiji GANAPATI SACHCHIDANANDA to film his visit to Venezuela in 2006. After a subsequent meeting with Swamiji she was instructed by him to put her film career on hold and go to India. Shortly thereafter Sai planned her trip to India and since then Sai's life has been devoted to a spiritual path, detaching from the material aspect of life and concentrating on the Truth of existence. Following that trip she decided to move to India and deepen her knowledge in Vedanta and Sanskrit. Sai Sudha recently obtained certification as a Yoga Teacher from the Sivananda Yoga and Vedanta Center in Kerala, India.
"The main purpose of this life is to grow into my real nature, divinity. To expand my knowledge of ancient teachings is one of my goals. At the feet of my Guru I remain in total surrender. May God use this body as an instrument of uplifting humanity into higher consciousness. A prayer for peace, may it live within all." (Sai Sudha)
Sai Sudha continues to give of her self with total love and dedication and a driven heart. Selfless service is a pivotal aspect of her personal mission in life.

In the early hours of every Saturday moring, members of the Om Tat Sat Institute of Yoga, together with those of the Sri Sathya Sai
Organization, prepare and deliver breakfast kits for about 200 homeless people at Plaza Libertad, one of the main plazas in downtown San Salvador.
The line starts accumulating as early as 5 a.m. and consists of inhabitants of the surrounding downtown streets, from young children to the aged, and not forgetting the babies brought to the plaza by their mothers.
These kits, of which over 10,000 were distributed in 2007, consist mainly of sandwiches, juice, sweet bread, "tamales", and fruit accompanied by a warm cup of milk and coffee.
The plaza is located in an area that is considered dangerous by the authorities, but by the grace of God the food services are conducted in total
tranquility and harmony.

Since 2002, Om Tat Sat Istitute of Yoga member Giannina Castelli has been tirelessly providing daily meals for 150 to 175
students attending the school center Margarita Duran in the city of Santa Tecla. The students who attend this institution range from
the ages of 6 to 16 and are in grades 1 to 9. These students are largely from disintigrated homes with extreme economical difficulties,
bearing the weight of poor nutrition. For many of them, the lunch that Giannina provides is the only meal they have for that day.

Om Tat Sat Work in Xalapa, Mexico

Following the instructions of our beloved master SRI SADGURU BABAJI, different social works have been undertaken throughout different locations in
the state of Veracruz (Mexico).
Our dear BABAJI has explained to us the importance of helping others and has told us that there are many people all over the world that
need our help and love; after visiting different communities we arrived in "Palzoquitilpan," a community located in the state of Veracruz,
where people live in extreme poverty. About 80% of the men have emigrated to the United States in search of better opportunities, leaving behind a
town composed only of women and children. Households typically consist of approximately 6 and 8 members per family, living in small houses with dust floors
and almost all of the children without shoes, dressed in minimum clothing and most of them displaying severe degrees of malnutrition.
Cinthy Rivera's husband Jesús, previously served as a doctor in this area, and as a result we were received with much joy and love. The children were ecstatic about our
visit, the women profoundly thankfu. No longer were they weighed down with that feeling of being abandoned, and consequently were greatly appreciative of
the help being provided.
Our next visit is scheduled for the month of January, when we plan taking clothes for the ladies, and toys and piñatas for the
children in addition to the usual food supplies. As previously mentioned to the people who make up this community, the only
thing that moves us in this labor is a feeling defined by our beloved master "SWAMI AMIGO" (BABAJI) as the only
universal religion: LOVE.
