Seva
A Selfless Service
What is Seva?
Seva is not a
Gujurati word. It
is actually from
Sanskrit. It means
more than selfless
service. It means
to serve without
the existence of
one’s own
identity, hence,
selfless service.

the only ones
who do seva.
Other religions
such as
Sikhism stress
on the
importance of
doing seva to
indirectly
serve God.
