Help Ever Hurt Never POORNAVATHARA Sri Sathya Sai Speaks LOVE ALL SERVE ALL Tablets alone cannot cure pain and medical equipment is powerless in the face of hopelessness. Primary health care is complete only when the broken body is mended and the forlorn spirit restored. It is only when the tears have been wiped away and hope restored that the health care delivery can be deemed complete.

Love is MY Form, Truth is MY Breath, Bliss is My Food. My Life is MY Message Jai Sai Ram
