Rita and
Robert's most recent special events have included:
-
In 2010,
Sathya Sai Parenting and Marriage/Love of Conscience workshops were
held in California, USA. Many people attended each of the workshops.
Based upon attendees' feedback and completed surveys, it was clear
that the workshops were transformational to the point that some
couples reversed the idea of separating from one another and were
willing to work together with their spouse for a successful
marriage. The workshops taught the importance of doing away with
one's ego and the necessity of having understanding and adjustment
in a couple's married life. Rita and Robert shared Sathya Sai Baba's
teachings interspersed with many of their personal life stories.
-
During
October and November of 2009 in Indonesia, Rita and Robert presented
EHV Parenting and Learning Methods, as well as Relationships and
Marriage with Human Values. The participants were Public School
Teachers and Parents. There was an unusual mix of participants who
attended, such as: Christians Nuns, Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists.
The EHV program is not based on religion, but Human Values and is
acceptable to all cultures and religions. It is teaching Character
Development based on Human Values. The presentation style was a full
day of speaking on various subjects with 350 participants in
attendance.

Rita asked Sai
Baba, “Swami when we are not here to ask Your permission pertaining to
each invitation, what should we do?” He replied, “Go wherever you
are asked.”
After our
interview we spoke with Dr. Goldstein explaining that Swami gave us
permission to do these workshops. Dr. Goldstein confirmed this to be
true with Sathya Sai Baba. We have been following Swami’s instructions ever
since, as well as submitting to Him a yearly report.
