The Merton Sai Service Wing is a branch of Merton Sai Centre in the Sai Mandir. Its role is to provide forums and opportunities to allow service activities within the Mandir and local community to flourish. Sathya Sai Baba has stated that, “service to man, is service to God”. Therefore, this underlying principle is the foundation for the service wing.

“Engage yourselves in service activity. Consider social service as service to God. This is the best way to earn God’s Love. Love all and serve all. Your entire life will be sanctified thereby.” – Sri Sathya Sai Baba

“Look about for chance to relieve, rescue or resuscitate. Train yourself that you may render help quickly and well. Seva is the most praying form of austerity, the most satisfying and the most pleasurable! It springs out of love and it scatters love in profession.” – Sri Sathya Sai Baba
