Sophomore, Lynbrook High School, San Jose

Priya Panneerselbam's family has practiced Hinduism for generations, but when she was about 3 years old, her family began to follow the philosophy of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, a teacher who resides in India. Panneerselbam considers herself both a Hindu and a devotee of Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

``He's here to make a Hindu a better Hindu, a Christian a better Christian, and a Buddhist a better Buddhist,'' Panneerselbam said.

His teachings stress love toward every entity. According to Panneerselbam, devotees of Sri Sathya Sai Baba show their devotion through service to others, chanting and singing, and education. The teachings have helped Panneerselbam through personal hardships and have helped her family come together.

``Without faith, I'd have no strength to do anything,'' she said." If you want to read more about the article go here. You have to register with the site to read the article.
