RISE and SHinE Program which is the acronym for Rise In Self-Excellence and SHine in Excellence is a global program for personal transformation to bring out the best in everyone from age 4 until 40. One is never too young or too old to evolve and transform.
Above 40 until the day one dies, one may continue one’s personal evolution with like-minded folks under the global program named Be Good Do Good. The framework for the Be Good Do Good Program is similar to the RISE and SHinE Program except the emphasis is on different areas for the former, to suit this older age group.
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 is all are one and the goal of life is to experience that innate divinity that we share with all others in creation.
Kathopanishad is one of the Upanishads in the Indian scriptures that not only answers questions that have plagued man since the beginning of time but also shows the way, step by step, on how to experience one’s innate divinity. Thus, the RISE and SHinE Youth Program includes a detailed study of and the discipline to put into practice the teachings of, Kathopanishad – as propounded by Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai in his Kathopanishad series of discourses.
