Prasanthi Dham

Prashanti Dham is a sacred, multi-faith center of love, service, and unity being developed in Plano, Texas. Inspired by Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s universal teachings and modeled in spirit and purpose after Prasanthi Nilayam, it will bring together spirituality, human values education, healthcare, selfless service, and environmental responsibility for the broader good of society.

Welcoming people of every faith, caste, race, culture, nationality, and social background, Prashanti Dham will encourage mutual respect and cultural understanding— a place where all can learn, serve, and grow together in unity and harmony.

Prasanthi Dham is inspired by the universal teachings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, centered on Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love, and Nonviolence. These timeless human values encourage spiritual growth, unity of faiths, selfless service, and recognition of the inherent divinity in every person. Guided by the ideals “Love All, Serve All” and “Help Ever, Hurt Never,” Prasanthi Dham translates these principles into spiritual fellowship, value-based education, healthcare, humanitarian service, and care for the environment—bringing people together in a shared purpose of serving humanity.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926–2011) is a spiritual teacher and humanitarian from India, revered by millions worldwide as a divine incarnation. His universal message emphasizes the inherent divinity in every person and the unity of all faiths. He taught us about the five fundamental human values inherent in all human beings: Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love, and Nonviolence. He encouraged people to deepen their own faith while expressing love through selfless service to others. His mission inspired institutions providing free education, medical care, and drinking water, alongside humanitarian service initiatives around the world. His life and teachings embody the timeless ideals: “Love All, Serve All” and “Help Ever, Hurt Never.”

Prasanthi Dham seeks to carry His universal message forward through spiritual practice, character education, and service to all humanity.

No. Although inspired by Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Prasanthi Dham's mission is universal and open to everyone. People of every faith and those who do not identify with a particular faith are welcome to participate in appropriate programs and service activities.

Prasanthi Dham does not seek to convert anyone or replace a person's existing beliefs. It encourages everyone to follow their own faith or spiritual path sincerely.

Prashanti Dham is fully aligned with the spiritual principles and values of the Sri Sathya Sai Global Council (SSSGC) and the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust (SSSCT). Its vision and activities are deeply rooted in the universal teachings of Sri Sathya Sai Baba and inspired by the values and spirit of Prasanthi Nilayam. Within this shared spiritual foundation, Prashanti Dham operates as a distinct legal entity, independently governed and administered by the Prasanthi Dham Foundation. It carries out its mission in accordance with applicable U.S. laws, its own governance framework, and established organizational policies.

Prasanthi Dham is being developed on approximately 9.1 acres of land located at 3888 Love All Drive in Plano, Texas. It is centrally situated in the greater metropolitan area of Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), with convenient access to freeways, train stations, and airports for local, national, and global visitors. The property is located in a multi-faith corridor, with a church, mosque, Buddhist temple, and synagogue as neighbors, and Swaminarayan and Shirdi Baba temples in the vicinity.

The campus will be developed in phases over the next 2-5 years.

Inspired by Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s universal teachings, Prashanti Dham’s programs will nurture individual well-being and serve the broader community through five interconnected areas.

Across all five areas: Unity, interfaith understanding, and community collaboration will be the primary focus.

** Healthcare services will be introduced as facilities, staffing, and resources become available.

Volunteers will play an important role in bringing the vision and mission of Prasanthi Dham to life. Service is also an opportunity for personal growth, allowing individuals to develop compassion, humility, empathy, and a deeper sense of connection with others.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba often spoke of selfless service as a means of inner transformation. Through serving others without expectation, individuals may experience greater awareness of their own strengths, values, and innate sense of divinity.

Volunteers will have opportunities to contribute their time, talents, professional expertise, and spirit of service in many areas. Their contributions may support the planning, administration, and delivery of Prasanthi Dham’s spiritual, educational, healthcare, humanitarian, and community-service programs.

No. Volunteer service is not limited to devotees or members of a Sai organization. People of all faiths and backgrounds who respect Prasanthi Dham's mission, values, spiritual character, and code of conduct are encouraged to serve as volunteers.

Prospective volunteers must complete the official Prasanthi Dham Volunteer Application Form.

Applications will be reviewed based on program needs and role requirements. Certain assignments may require interviews, references, professional credentials, or background checks.

Acceptance will depend on program needs, capacity, the applicant's suitability, and completion of applicable requirements.

Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance or placement. Accepted volunteers must complete required orientation and training before beginning service; additional role-specific training may be required.

The long-term campus plan will bring Prashanti Dham’s spiritual, educational, healthcare, humanitarian, and community-service missions together in one integrated setting. Planned facilities include:

• Spiritual Center: A bhajan hall, altar, and spaces for prayer, meditation, and spiritual fellowship.
• Education Center and Divya Smriti: Classrooms, a conference and seminar hall, a library, and an interactive museum and digital learning experience.
• Free Primary Care Clinic: Facilities for healthcare, preventive screenings, and wellness education.
• Community Service and Disaster Relief Center: Space for coordinating service projects, storing essential supplies, and supporting humanitarian response.
• Volunteer Accommodations: Lodging for volunteers serving in campus programs and activities.
• Kitchen, Dining, and Food-Service Facilities: Support for campus participants, volunteers, community meal programs, and relief efforts.
• Outdoor and Environmental Spaces: Walking paths, gathering areas, gardens, and landscaped spaces that support fellowship, reflection, and environmental stewardship.

The campus plan will continue to evolve based on mission priorities, professional studies, regulatory requirements, financial feasibility, and available resources.

Divya Smriti, meaning “Divine Remembrance,” will be an interactive museum and digital learning experience about Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s life, teachings, humanitarian work, and worldwide service mission.

It will help visitors understand how His universal teachings are expressed through education, healthcare, community service, and compassionate action. It will also help the next generation deepen its understanding of Swami’s mission and work, appreciate His enduring message, and explore how to apply these values in daily life.

Plans are underway to provide temporary lodging for eligible visitors and registered volunteers participating in approved programs, retreats, events, and seva projects at Prashanti Dham. Accommodations will consist of simple, comfortable rooms, each with two beds, a private full bathroom, and essential furnishings to support a restful stay.

Lodging will be available to eligible visitors and registered volunteers without distinction, on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to program registration, available capacity, program needs, and prior approval where required.

Reasonable daily charges to cover maintenance and utility costs will apply, except for those invited to participate in designated special programs and activities.

The Prashanti Dham campus will be developed in carefully planned phases as funding and other essential resources become available. The sequence and timing of facilities will depend on mission priorities, community benefit, operational readiness, construction requirements, regulatory approvals, and financial feasibility.

Potential sources of financial support include voluntary contributions from Sathya Sai devotees and other individuals and families; grants and contributions from charitable institutions and foundations; corporate philanthropy and corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs; employee matching-gift programs; and other legally permissible sources.

Each source will be evaluated for alignment with Prashanti Dham’s mission, applicable organizational guidelines, and funding-program eligibility requirements. Planning will address both facility-development costs and the resources needed for ongoing operations and maintenance.

Prashanti Dham’s funding approach will honor voluntary giving and selfless service while meeting the responsibilities of a U.S. 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Five principles will guide how support is communicated, accepted, and managed.

Prashanti Dham will connect clearly defined mission needs with appropriate opportunities for voluntary support through the following process.

Informed, voluntary participation at every step

All communications and support activities remain subject to applicable legal requirements and Sathya Sai organizational guidelines.

Individuals and families can support Prashanti Dham through voluntary financial contributions, approved gifts of equipment or supplies, professional expertise, and introductions to potential community or institutional partners. Where eligible, employer matching-gift programs may increase the impact of personal contributions.

Supporters may express interest in a particular mission area or help meet broader campus priorities. All contributions will be considered in light of actual needs, gift-acceptance policies, and applicable guidelines. Participation is welcome at all levels, and financial support is never a condition of belonging or serving.

The Legacy of Love Program connects voluntary contributions with specific mission needs, offering a framework for mission-linked participation—giving with a purpose.

You may support any area of Spiritual Care, Educare, Health Care, Socio Care, or Enviro Care. Your contribution could build or equip a facility, provide materials for an activity, or sustain ongoing programs and services. For example, support for Spiritual Care might help establish the bhajan hall or fund the spiritual programs held there. You may also support shared needs such as volunteer accommodations, kitchen and dining facilities, and campus operations.

Opportunities may be organized into mission-linked circles, each focused on a clearly defined program or campus need. This helps supporters understand how their contributions will be used.

Contact the Foundation to learn about approved priorities and opportunities. All contributions are voluntary and do not confer ownership or special privileges.
