Dharmic Seva Values Inspiring Ethical Voting

Seva (a sanskrit word for service) is an integral part of Dharma* (generally referred to Buddhist, Hindu, Jain, Sikhs, and those inspired by Vedic philosophy, Yoga and Meditation) traditions and sadhana (spiritual practice) and it is transforming.

We start with a namaste where we recognize there is a Divine spark within each of us and salute to the divinity within. We believe the whole world is one single family (Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – Sanskrit: वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम. from “vasudha”, the earth; “iva” = is as a; and “kutumbakam”, family).

We hope YOUR Seva voice resonating this understanding will alleviate current issues facing our country, economic, job creation, social justice, security, health, education and many more on the public platform. Faith plays a significant role in the political landscape. And moral values provide a common ground for diverse communities to come together.

*Dharma or Dhamma means that which upholds, supports or maintains the regulatory order of the universe or Law or Natural Law; a central  concept in eastern philosophy and religion. It also designates those behaviors necessary for the maintenance of the natural order of things.

Service to Others is Service to the Dharma

 

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” –Mahatma Gandhi

"Service which is given without consideration of anything in return, at the right place and time to one that is qualified, with the feeling that it is one’s duty, is regarded as the nature of goodness. "

Bhagavad Gita 17.20
