Quoted Text
"Seva" is a Sanskrit word meaning selfless service. Seva is doing good work, helping others, without attachment, and without any desire for personal gain. Performing Seva on a regular basis is one way for us to become more aware of our connection with the divine. Just one small act of Seva a day can bring about tremendous spiritual growth.
