Support Sit With Sai
This site is ad-free and entirely viewer-supported. Voluntary dakshina helps cover hosting, the Hindi translation review, source-fidelity audits, and the slow work of building a real reference.

Where your support goes
- Hosting — Hostinger annual renewal + CDN bandwidth
- Hindi review — a native Hindi-speaker Sai-bhakta is being commissioned to review the AI-translated chapters
- Source acquisition — physical copies of the original Sansthan-published Narasimha Swami volumes, the Marathi Satcharitra critical edition, and academic studies (Rigopoulos 1993, Warren 1999, McLain 2014)
- Editorial work — adding 80 fully-detailed devotee experience pages (currently 65 carry verbatim Narasimha Swami excerpts; the remaining 15 need source-text retrieval)
- No salaries. All donations go to project costs; the editor is a volunteer.
On the principle of dakshina
"Dakshina advances Vairagya (non-attachment), and thereby Bhakti and Jnana. Give one and receive tenfold." — Sai Baba, Satcharitra Chapter 35
Sit With Sai treats every contribution as dakshina, not a transaction. There is no reward, no perk, no member-tier. The contribution is what Baba calls "the seed sown" — its fruit is the contributor's own, not the recipient's.
Transparency
Annual income and expenditure are published once per year on this page, sourced directly from Stripe's payout records. The first such report will appear at the close of the first full calendar year of donations.
For any question about a donation or transparency request, write to editor@sitwithsai.org.
Sit With Sai is non-commercial. The editor receives no salary or honorarium from this project.
