Siddha Yoga Seva

Seva is known as selfless service to mankind. Seva is deemed essential for the spiritual upliftment of the person. It accelerates the process of enlightenment as it refines the person from within. The selfless service concept provides opportunity to put Siddha Yoga teachings into action in a practical manner. Seva also brings people together and allows them to work with each other in a spiritual environment.

This can be understood with the help of a saying which states that it is easy to be a saint on a mountaintop, but the real proof is visible when you return to the marketplace. Seva can also be defined as an expression of love in action, as it implies service without expectation of any reward. It teaches how to offer service in daily life exhibiting generosity and freedom. It can be in the form of service offered to your local ashram, guruseva (service to guru), or what you give to your job and loved ones.

As a part of seva, many activities can be performed. It can be anything from cooking, cleaning, teaching, or working on the computer, but it should be with a focus on the Self and with awareness. The main purpose behind the concept of seva is to inculcate the attitude of service and to dedicate one's life and actions towards the service of God. This makes the life of a disciple a constant state of Yoga. Eventually, it emphasizes that service to mankind is service to God.
