The Be Good Do Good Program christened by Sri Sathya Sai Baba and guided by His precious teachings is a global program for those aged above 40 – to be internally comfortable with their own journey of life and be responsible for their personal evolution. Its framework is similar to the RISE and SHinE Program (which is the acronym for Rise In Self-Excellence and SHine in Excellence) for personal transformation except the content of this program emphasises on areas that are important to this older age group i.e. the young at heart.
The RISE and SHinE Program is a global program for personal transformation to bring out the best in everyone from age 4 till 40. The RISE and SHinE Program is divided into two categories:
- Program for Children & Teens (aged from 4 to 17+)
- Program for Youth (aged from 18 to 40)
Beyond 40 years of age, one may continue one’s personal evolution with like-minded folks under the Be Good Do Good Program. The Be Good Do Good Program, just like the RISE and SHinE Program, is based on a trilogy of books put together by Sheela Awat inspired by Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s priceless teachings – The Journey of the River, The River Beholding the Ocean and The Ocean – that tell us that all is one and the goal of life is to experience that innate divinity that we share with all others in creation. This broad framework includes two special additional detailed components – firstly a step-by-step elucidation on how to Master the Mind and secondly, the study of and putting into practice the learnings of, Kathopanishad. Both of these detailed components are based on the teachings of Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai as expounded in his Master the Mind series of discourses and his Kathopanishad series of discourses.
