Nine Point Code of Conduct

Sathya Sai Baba has proclaimed the Nine Point Code of Conduct as guidance for spiritual and personal development.

Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba while placing the Sai movement throughout the world on a firm footing with established Universal principles such as those shown below has also proclaimed as a guiding light for a devotee's spiritual and personal development-the Nine Point Code of Conduct and the Ten Principles.

At the First Overseas Convention of Chairpersons of Sai Centers, held in Prashanthi Nilayam in November 1998, delegates were asked to have their Centers conduct a study circle on the Nine-Point Code of Conduct.

Nine-Point Code of Conduct
Center members are expected to do their best to practice the Nine-Point Code of Conduct in order to be examples of Sathya Sai Baba's teachings.

  1. Daily meditation and prayer (Jap).

  2. Group devotional singing (bhajan) or prayer with family members once a week.

  3. Participation in Sai Spiritual Education (Bal Vikas Programme) by children of the family.

  4. Participation in community service work and other programs of the organization.

  5. Regular attendance at the Center's devotional meetings (Bhajan or Nagar Sankirtan).

  6. Regular study of Sathya Sai Baba literature.

  7. The use of soft, loving speech with everyone.

  8. Not speaking ill of others, especially in their absence.

  9. Narayana Seva. Practice placing a ceiling on desires - consciously and continuously strive to eliminate the tendency to waste time, money, food and energy - and utilize the savings for service to mankind.

Prescribed by Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
