Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai, World-Renowned Humanitarian Leader, awarded highest civilian award by President of Fiji

Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai New Delhi: World-renowned humanitarian leader, Sri Madhusudan Sai, was conferred Fiji's highest honour, the 'Companion of the Order of Fiji', by the President of Fiji Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu. The function was held at the State House of Fiji and attended by dignitaries from Fiji and around the world. The previous recipients of Fiji's highest honour include the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and the President of India Droupadi Murmu. In accepting his award, Sri Madhusudan Sai stated: 'I am deeply humbled and honoured to receive this recognition from His Excellency The President of Fiji. I accept on behalf of our entire global team of the One World One Family mission. Fiji has always held a special place in my heart, it is truly a second home to me. This honour is a testament to the collective efforts of so many who have worked tirelessly to uplift and support communities across the country as well as the entire Pacific region. Through establishment of the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children's Hospital as well as a multitude of humanitarian efforts in the fields of healthcare, education and nutrition, we remain committed to the betterment of Fijians. It has been an immense pleasure to collaborate closely with the Government of Fiji, the vibrant community of former Fijians abroad and our extensive global network of Foundations. Together, we continue to strive for a more compassionate, inclusive, and healthier Fiji'. Sri Madhusudan Sai's influence in Fiji is most notably reflected through the creation of the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children's Hospital, the first state-of-the-art, fully free children's hospital in the South Pacific. This facility offers advanced medical care that is otherwise inaccessible due to financial constraints. The hospital's work focuses on providing cutting-edge treatment to children, regardless of their background, and has already saved countless lives. The establishment of this institution represents a monumental leap forward in healthcare for the region, providing a foundation for future generations to thrive. In addition to the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children's Hospital, Sri Madhusudan Sai founded the Sai Prema Foundation in Fiji, which has become a leading force for social welfare and humanitarian service across the nation. Through the Foundation, he has spearheaded numerous initiatives aimed at addressing key areas of need, such as healthcare, education, disaster relief, and food security. Under His guidance, the Sai Prema Foundation has become a critical partner in strengthening the healthcare infrastructure in Fiji, organising mobile medical camps, offering health screenings, providing scholarships, and extending aid during natural disasters. The Foundation's work is a testament to Sadguru's deep love and commitment to the people of Fiji, and it serves as a beacon of compassion and service that embodies the spirit of unity, solidarity, and community. Beyond Fiji, Sri Madhusudan Sai's humanitarian efforts have spanned across over 80 countries, impacting millions of lives. Sadguru's contributions to healthcare are equally profound. He has founded more than a dozen hospitals in India and abroad, all of which provide free healthcare to individuals who would otherwise not have access to life-saving treatment. These hospitals are equipped with modern medical facilities, staffed by highly trained professionals, and offer a wide range of specialised services in fields such as cardiology, orthopaedics, neurology, and paediatrics. These institutions have saved thousands of lives and provided relief to communities in urgent need of medical care. Sri Madhusudan Sai's philosophy is simple yet profound: 'Serve others as you would serve yourself.' This guiding principle has shaped his life's work and has inspired millions of individuals across the world to adopt selfless service as a way of life. His humanitarian initiatives emphasise not only material assistance but also the fostering of spiritual and emotional well-being. His teachings remind all that service to others is the highest form of living, and that true success lies in the ability to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
