What is seva yoga / Karma yoga?
Seva is serving others and helping others with
compassion. Serving is not for personal gratification but to uplift others. Seva
is an offering. When an action contains your best thoughts and feelings, your
love and affection, sympathy and compassion, and when it uplifts others, that is
seva. In the course of time seva becomes a way of life. Living for others
becomes a way of life, not living for oneself.
Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
