Volunteer (Seva)
Seva is at the heart of Amma’s teaching, and the example she sets is an inspiration to millions. Seva is action in the service of others carried out with enthusiasm and discernment, without seeking personal gain. All the association’s leaders are volunteers, committed to serving society by embodying the values of benevolence and sharing.
The inner attitude with which an action is carried out is more important than the action itself. In this sense, seva is a genuine spiritual practice. This philosophy is part of the Indian spiritual tradition known as Karma Yoga. In the UK, you can join the teams that run the Center, and/or take part in the association’s activities in your region, according to your availability and desire to get involved.
