Prasanthi Nilayam, Andhra Pradesh.
The Abode of Supreme Peace

“Prasanthi Nilayam is not a place—it is a state of inner peace. It is where silence speaks, love flows, and divinity is felt.”
- Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba

A Divine Destination

Prasanthi Nilayam, meaning “The Abode of Supreme Peace,” is the spiritual headquarters of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Located in the tranquil town of Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, it is not just a centre—it is the heart of Swami’s divine mission on earth.

Since its founding in 1950, Prasanthi Nilayam has welcomed millions of devotees from all over the world—people of all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds—united by one purpose: to seek God, to serve humanity, and to discover their inner self.

Discourse & Wisdom: Swami's timeless teachings—spoken here—on truth, love, dharma, and unity of faiths still echo in the hearts of those who visit.
Service in Action: From hospitals and schools to water projects and feeding programs, Prasanthi stands as a living testimony of love in service (Seva).
