Cultivating Inner Peace & Healing

Our Story

For decades our family has known peace and joy following the teachings of Indian Guru Shree Sai Baba. He advocates practicing a lifestyle of love, forgiveness, and devotion to one’s own beliefs and helping others: in our experience, following this path leads to contentment and inner peace. Initially, wanting to create a place to share our way of life, we intended to fund and build a temple in Locust Grove, GA.

Yet a fundamental element of his teaching is that anyone, regardless of background or belief, may come and benefit from learning with and alongside us . We wanted to preserve that in the new place we were planning.

Our family lives in Georgia, amid many who share similar traditions, and among many more who do not. Yet everyone craves peace and health. We realized that to welcome truly any who seek healing or self-realization, we needed our center to adopt a wider perspective on how the many faith traditions of the world are honored and embraced.

Truth is always embodied in people. Taking inspiration from the lives of luminaries like Mahatma Gandhi, Dalai Lama, Swami Vivekananda, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and countless others like them, we committed to cultivating spiritual maturity and peace in individuals and communities of all traditions.

Thus the idea of the Humanity Institute was born. Our embracing, inclusive perspective is reflected in the Institute’s logo, incorporating symbols from a dozen different widely practiced faiths. Everyone is welcome to seek truth here.
