Seva means service. To serve others in our society selflessly. Seva opens our heart and transforms the pettiness of our small ego-centred world. Seva yoga teaches us to cultivate the quality of serving and offering, of lending a helping hand. Seva is anything you do to uplift another. It can even be a smile offered with no strings attached to someone in a moment of need.
Swami Sivamurti Saraswati
Through seva, by putting others first, we slowly start to be less concerned with ‘me and mine’ and more concerned with ‘you and yours’. As we begin putting others and their needs before our own, the habits of the ego are challenged and its hold on our priorities becomes less self-oriented. We also start to understand that we are not isolated or separate from others.
Seva enhances the selfless quality in life when you can overcome your own limitations. Seva is something that you do even at home, when you sacrifice your time, your sleep, your food to serve somebody
Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
Seva yoga, brings one into contact with others, where the emphasis is on ‘giving’ rather than ‘taking’. The only thing one needs for seva yoga is to have a heart which is willing to serve, and the desire to lend a helping hand. Serving humanity is the way to worship the divine. Come for seva at our centers. If you are teachers or instructors seva provides an ideal opportunity for you and your students to connect with a deeper aspect of yoga.
Seva yoga is for all.
