Dear Embodiments of Divine Love,

Sai Ram! On behalf of the North Central regional officers, conference coordinators, and conveners, I invite all of you to the 35th North Central Region (Region 5) Sai Conference and Retreat, to be held at Camp Manitoqua & Retreat , 8122 W Sauk Trail, Frankfort, IL 60423 during August 30 - September 1 [Labor Day Weekend] with much love and enthusiasm. This year’s theme is "Our life is His Message ". 

This year’s retreat holds a special place in our hearts as we come together to celebrate the Centennial Year of our Beloved Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. In honor of His 100th year, our retreat will center around deepening our devotion, strengthening our unity, and recommitting to a life of love and service.

We are blessed to host this year’s retreat at our new Retreat Camp Site Manitoqua, Celebrating the Divine Legacy – 100 Years of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, where nature and spirit meet in harmony, creating a beautiful space for inspiration, reflection, and transformation. The program is designed with Swami’s divine guidance in mind — to uplift, energize, and awaken the divinity within each of us.

We are honored to welcome two dynamic and deeply devoted couples as our guest speakers:

• Alex & Kalika Grana

• Chetan & Prity Bhat

Their life stories and insights will surely ignite the flame of devotion and service in all our hearts.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba has told us to regard the Sai Organization as our ‘life breath’ and that it is our good fortune to be involved with it. He has shown in so many ways how His grace is showered on us when we participate in the Sai Organization, including the annual retreat, with selfless love. The retreat is a golden opportunity to immerse ourselves fully in Sathya Sai Baba’s Divine Love, utilizing that to deepen our spiritual practices.  

Please register Today and help the organizing team to serve you better. If you need any help/assistance with the registration fee or with transportation, please feel free to reach out to us at retreat@sathyasaicenters.org.

We are making every effort to make the retreat truly inspiring and enjoyable to all. It will be a very memorable experience for one and all, because of the variety of programs to address the theme, while allowing enough time for leisurely interaction with the rest of the Sai family.
       

We look forward to seeing you at the retreat!

In Loving service of Sai, 

Ramesh Malladi
