During the 1970's, Sathya Sai Baba initiated a series of Summer Courses on Indian Culture and Spirituality at Brindavan, His ashram in Whitefield, outside Bangalore.
Brahman (God) and Bharat (India and its spiritual heritage) were the subjects of this year's summer conference. Among the subjects discussed were:
- Sat chit ananda (being, awareness, bliss)
- All religions lead to the same goal
- Brahman (God) is within
- All creation merges with Brahman
- The five senses
- Karma and dharma (right action)
- One who protects dharma will be protected by dharma
- Tat Twam Asi (you are that; you are God)
- Immortality and sacrifice
- The inner meaning of the Puranas (ancient scriptures about the Gods, heroes and kings)
- The Lord can be contacted only through prema (love).
It is part of Bhagawan’s resolve to generate generations of young men and women of calibre and character to ameliorate the society physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually so that the Golden Age is no more far to reach.

Sathya Sai Baba interacts with all people on a heart-to-heart basis. There are no intermediaries between himself and those who yearn for knowledge and experience of God. Every day for more than 50 years, Sathya Sai Baba has walked among and talked with the spiritual pilgrims who gather around him in increasing numbers. He offers solace and inspiration to all sincere seekers of truth.
