In mid-February 2019, an SSIO member from the northwest region of Russia led a public meeting at a women’s club in southern Russia. The speaker discussed the universal human values and their application and engaged the audience with several parables to illustrate the values. The meeting generated a lively discussion on gratitude as a facet of love. The participants also shared what they were grateful for, with the person sitting next to them. The session ended with a question and answer session on Sathya Sai Baba’s teachings.
