Seva, definition

Seva, is a Sanskrit word that means “selfless service.” In South Asian communities across various religious and spiritual practices, Seva embodies small simple actions, such as making someone a cup of tea, to bigger acts contributing to a large community. The size of its gesture never loses its intent — to give and act selflessly in the name of service. A core part of Seva is that the reward is in the giving itself. While growing up in New York, Seva was a huge part of my Bengali upbringing. Its meaning has not been lost in my work as a social worker in New York City and beyond. In many ways Seva saved me. It gave me a reason to live and a deep purpose to continue.
