Dharmakshetra as a manifestation of Divine Love, was established by Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba at Mumbai on May 12, 1968, on the eve of the First World Conference of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation.

Dharmakshetra has a Divine Destiny to fulfill in the Divine Mission. It stands tall over a hillock as a beacon for mankind to embark upon the path of Dharma or Righteous Conduct.

MURAL OF THE SUN GOD

The moment we enter Dharmakshetra we are awed by the imposing mural of the “Sun God” “Aditya” riding on his 7 horses drawn chariot, on the upper front wall of the stage and over-looking the Jalan Mandap (congregation area). Sun is the Lord of Time. He is the Symbol of the Life-Principle. He is the giver of light and nourishes our intellect (Buddhi) and is the endower of enlightenment. He is the embodiment of all the Divine forces. He is Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara, the TRINITY, all in one.

SRI SATHYA SAI MEDICAL CENTRE

“Human body is Temple of Living God”. It should be kept clean spiritually and fit physically. Therefore, the Sai Message of “Manav Seva is Madhav Seva” is translated in Sri Sathya Sai Medical Centre. This Centre every year, caters to Thousands of patients free of any charges. This Centre houses pathology Laboratory, Eye Clinic, Dental Clinic and screening facilities offering Allopathy as well as Homeopathy treatments.

GAYATRI STATUE

As one comes down from the Satya Deep amidst the lush greenery and a picturesque waterfall stands the beautiful idol of Gayatri, under a golden canopy. The pedestal stands over more than 7 crore Nama Likhita Japa Written by Devotees from all over Mumbai during the auspicious occasion of BHAGAWAN’S 70th Birthday.

SHANTI DEEP

To enable the Devotees to assemble in the Divine precincts there is a huge hall called the “Shanti Deep” which is utilized for congregational prayer and group singing and for other service activities. There in the hall, we see the exhibition on Divine Teachings, a library and provision for video shows.

A book-stall for sale of Sai Literature, Photographs, Audio & Video cassettes of Bhagwan is located opposite Shanti Deep.

It also produces and reproduces good quality audio and video cassettes on Bhagwan’s Discourses, Bhajans and his activities throughout the World.

SRI SATHYA SAI VIDYA MANDIR

True to the emphasis on Education placed by Baba the campus also has a primary and secondary school called the Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Mandir that caters to the children of the lower income group around Dharmakshetra.

MANAV ABHYUDAYA KSHETRA

The building is the seat of the Educational activities of the Sri Sathya Seva Organisation at Mumbai. On the ground floor of the building is located a very active Vocational training Technical Institute that helps many young men to take up Vocational Training, which helps them to stand on their own feet.

Tailoring classes for women of weaker section are also being conducted as a part of the Diploma courses.

SARVA DHARMA STUPA

As a symbol of the message of Unity of Faiths there stands majestically the Sarva Dharma Stupa rising high into the sky. Each symbol etched at the bottom of the stupa is a message by itself.

\ “Listen to the primeval Pranava AUM resounding in your heart as well as in the heart of the Universe”.

] “Remember the Wheel of Cause and Consequence, of Deed and Destiny and the Wheel of Dharma that rights them all”.

“Offer all bitterness in the Sacred Fire and emerge Grand, Great and Godly”.

Z “ Be like the Star which never wavers from the Crescent but is fixed in Steady Faith”.

V “Cut the “I” feeling clean across and let your ego die on the Cross, to endow on you Eternity”.

SATYA DEEP – The Abode of Absolute Truth

The Lotus shaped structure beckons man to embark upon sacred action and be like a lotus which blossoms and blooms in the unclean water of the pond but is still untouched by the dirt around.

The pond surrounding ‘Satya Deep symbolises the ocean of Samsara. The nine steps crossing over the pond to Satya Deep symbolises the Nava-Vidha Bhakti with which one can cross this ocean of Samsara and be able to enter the abode of the Lord.

At the gate of Satya Deep we see the symbols of different religions signifying the universality of Baba’s Message that all religions teach the same ultimate truth.

Inside the Satya Deep there are 5 Murals on the left side representing the aspects of Creation and the means of Creation. (1) Prithvi (Earth), (2) Ap (Water), (3) Tejas (Fire), (4) Vayu (Air), (5) Akasa (Sky).

These are the basic constituents of the creation. It is principally through the media of these five elements that the God manifests Himslef as this universe and creation.

The panels on the right side portray the eternal “Values of Life” which one has to necessarily cultivate in order to be able to attain the divine state of perfection and gain liberation. These values which are, so to say, the pathway to perfection, are : (1) Satya, (2) Dharma, (3) Ahimsa (4) Prema, (5) Santhi.

SAI NIRDESH

This unique exhibition on lotus petals in a nutshell, explains the Message of Baba leading Man from information to transformation. It begins with the cause of the Avtarhood and goes on to explain to man his true innate nature and the purpose of his birth. The next section of the exhibition lays down the goals that man has to pursue and the last section unfolds the techniques that will help man to progress towards these goals. As one goes around seeing the exhibition one gets a feeling that Baba is speaking to him on a one to one basis.
