Abstract: Emerging from East Indian or Bharatian culture, Sathya Sai Baba (1926–2011) was a prolific world teacher, a master who spoke of the mysteries and magnificence of the Self and who devised an educational system to re-vitalize our schools, centred on four great themes — God, Love, Service, and Practice. For Baba, insight not applied was as worthless as knowledge not practiced.

Key words: Self-realization, spirituality, character, curriculum, schools, Sathya Sai Baba
