Yoga — Skill in Action
Offering Seva in Shree Muktananda Ashram

Seva, selfless service, is one of the core spiritual practices on the Siddha Yoga path. At Shree Muktananda Ashram, staff and visiting Siddha Yogis from around the world offer their skills, talents, and energy in support of the SYDA Foundation’s work—serving the Siddha Yoga Mission.

In a great scripture of India, Shri Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna teaches, "Yoga is skill in action." By serving with love and attentiveness, we cultivate proficiency, self-confidence, joy, and evenness of mind, and we strengthen our connection to the inexhaustible source of joy and power at the core of our being. Practicing seva in this way, we move toward attaining the goal of yoga: the steady awareness of our union with the Self.

As you view these photos of Siddha Yogis engaged in many different types of seva, you are invited to reflect on how each expresses skill in action through qualities such as focus, respect, and enthusiasm.

As I saw the people offering seva in preparation for the "Be in the Temple" satsangs with such grace, focus, and apparent ease, gratitude welled up inside me. The satsangs sustain, uplift, and guide me in these uncertain times. I know that with our Guru's grace, these satsangs are uplifting the world.

My heart is soothed by seeing the images of the people keeping a safe distance while still smiling at each other as they offer the seva that allows the entire world to benefit from the "Be in the Temple" satsangs.
