We will use Study Circle format for discussion. It is most conducive to inner spiritual experience for all participants. We will all become facets of the diamond and contribute to the luster of love and wisdom that will ensue. The study circles will be conducted centered on the Spiritual Principles: “God Is!”, “I Am I!”, and “Love All, Serve All!” in the context of Sai Ideal Human Life on day one, Saturday, and Sai Ideal Spiritual Organizaton on day two, Sunday. We will follow the International Guidelines for Study Circles posted on www.sathyasai.org under: “Pre-World Conferences: The Sai Ideal.”

One Moderator and two Recorders for each study circle will be chosen prior to the conference by Zone Chairmen conferring with Central Coordinators and Presidents of Central Councils. Delegates will be divided into groups, not to exceed 25 if possible, for each study circle. Thus, if there are 500 delegates, there would be 20 study circles consisting of 25 participants taking place simultaneously. The number of participants in each study circle will depend on the total number of delegates and should range from at least 10 to not more than 25, if possible.

The Study Circles will commence with Omkar, then each Moderator will introduce very briefly the three Mahavakyas (God Is, I am I, and Love All, Serve All), making reference to the Concordance and Discourses of Swami’s Words on these Spiritual Principles which you have received. This will be followed by 5 minutes of silent contemplation of the Spiritual Principles, concluding with Omkar-Shanti. The moderator will then commence the study circle.
