Hepatitis B is a serious disease caused by a virus that attacks the liver. This
virus can cause lifelong infection, cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, liver
cancer, liver failure and ultimately death. The best protection against this
disease is by giving the Hepatitis B vaccination. Unfortunately a large
number of children suffer from the dreaded diseases in the country.
The Youth of Sai Study Group Jakarta resolved to inoculate the less
fortunate children against the dreaded Hepatitis B virus.
Each program has a duration of 4 months and is divided to 3 phases. The
second shot is given after a month’s gap from the first shot, while the third
shot is given after four months from the date of commencement.
The youths helped in administering the children’s details and entertained the
children to distract them from pain while the doctors injected them. Bread
and milk were provided to them too.

SHIVRATRI SEVA
To commemorate the auspicious occasion of Shivratri, a bunch of youths
drove around the city on the holy night and distributed packets of plain milk
to the less fortunate street children. The children were overjoyed to receive
free milk and excitedly rushed to the youths for more.
OPERATION SEVA
Bhagavan Baba states that Health is the primary requisite for all activities –
physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual. Every effort should be made to
keep the human body healthy. Health is wealth. Therefore the wealth of the
nation undoubtedly depends on the health of its people. People in the third
world countries are sick because they are poor and in many cases they are
poor because they are sick. Meager incomes do not allow for expensive
healthcare costs when basic sustenance itself is a question. This then affects
productivity, which in turn retards the progress of the nation.
Swami further adds that any injury or illness that affects the health of a
being adversely must be attended to with loving care. This emotion that
pours out to the suffering and the afflicted is compassion. When compassion
covers best of skills and the best of medical technology and is given with
love and kindness, it transforms mere MEDICARE from the process of
disease curing to complete-healing.
This when made into a movement to provide care free of cost to the masses
becomes a potent force, and brings both health and dignity to many for
whom it would otherwise be beyond reach.
Indonesia is one of the countries where ‘MEDICARE’ is highly required.
Majority of the population live under unhygienic conditions. Apart from the
low standard of living, the masses also possess a low literacy rate causing a
general low level of awareness on personal hygiene and health.
FREE OPERATIONS
The drive for this project was set off when the youths first decided to
conduct this seva as an offering to the Bhagavan on HIS 75th Birthday. But,
with the grace of the Divine Lord, this project did not just stop there; in fact,
it has been a continuous effort on the parts of the youths.
In the first, the team conducts extensive and thorough surveys throughout
the city and even neighboring cities. Here, they look for those patients in
dire need of medical help but do not have the means or resources to do so.
In the second stage, these patients are brought to qualified doctors and
surgeons for preliminary check-ups. They are subsequently registered in a
hospital and the surgeries are duly performed.
The last stage involves post-operative visits and required medical treatment
at the doctor’s.
Throughout every phase, the youths are always by the side of the patients.
And throughout every start, Bhagavan is by them!
The seed of love sown years ago at the commencement of the project has
grown to a beautiful tree, bearing fruits of love and satisfaction which the
youths themselves are enjoying, for, hasn’t Bhagavan himself said, “Service
to man…will gladden your heart and make you feel that life has been
worthwhile.”
On the 30th of August, an idea was conceived that the youth should help the
plight of these families by bringing them food supplies. 12 tons of food
supplies was targeted to be distributed to the six hundred families there.
This Seva has been nothing short of a miracle. Swami lead the youth
beautifully. with Sai force of over a hundred people. Everybody joined
hands, from the youth of Jakarta to the Mahilla Vibag, to the balvikas,
elders, helpers, friends, family members and Bandung youth. everone
worked hand in hand with the local residents in the village as though all
were a family.
Every house was entered, every heart touched and every hungry child can
now be fed. The youths went from house to house giving a little food and
spreading a lot of love.
