Seva: Acting Together to Lift Our Community

“Plant your seeds wisely. The results will come.”

– Cosmin Mahadev

What is Seva?

Often translated as “service,” Seva is much more. It is the natural extension of yoga, expressing in physical action the mental and spiritual elements of the practice.

As Sannyasi Ratnashshakti explained once in Yoga Magazine, “the word seva is made up of two words, ‘saha’ and ‘eva’. Saha means ‘with that’ and eva means ‘too.’ The word seva means ‘together with’ and [describes] those actions that seek collective upliftment through an understanding of the needs of others and are based on togetherness and integration.”

In other words, he wrote, “Seva is an expression of compassion, of the desire to
uplift and assist people.”

The Benefits of Seva

Seva can be as simple as conveying a warm and friendly smile or as involved as becoming a life coach. It can be assisting someone that is in need of the talents you already possess or giving time by performing some task you have had no previous experience. It can involve cooking or cleaning, fixing or maintaining, educating or just giving someone a little encouragement. Regardless, if you help one person or countless people, the positive effects reverberate over the course of time and space. You become part of the Divine that gives! Instead of looking for a miracle, you become a miracle.
Instead of looking for a miracle, you become a miracle.
Benefits of Seva include:
We encourage all students to practice seva healthfully and responsibly so as not to cause any undue burden that would interfere with the nature of seva and its intended purpose.

Volunteer Your Time and Talent

The growth and success of the RYK Yoga and Meditation Center are, in large part, thanks to the overwhelming response to those who have volunteered their time and talent.

We acknowledge and appreciate each individual who has dedicated and practiced selfless service to RYK.

As a yoga community, we have done much, in solidarity, to accomplish a great deal, but there is more to do. There is always something that requires attention so that we can provide the first and very best Kundalini Community Center in Las Vegas.

Add your personal touch to our community:

Be the Reason for Everyone’s Success at RYK!

We ask that whatever form you wish to perform your seva that it is given purely and whole-heartedly as it is not a requirement. We want you to perform this selfless service in a way that works for you and is within your area of interest and ability.
