The 2013 "Yuva for Sewa" internship projects.An opportunity to serve.

Sanatan Dharma gives lots of emphasis on Selfless Service through Karma Yoga and Sewa.
Here are some Sloka from Bhagvad Geeta.
Geeta 3.14
annād bhavanti bhūtāni
parjanyād anna-sambhavaḥ
yajñād bhavati parjanyo
yajñaḥ karma-samudbhavaḥ
All living bodies subsist on food grains, which are produced from rains. Rains are produced by performance of yajña[sacrifice], and yajña is born of prescribed duties.
Geeta 2.39
The science of transcendental knowledge has been imparted to you, O Arjuna. Now listen to the science of selfless service (Seva), endowed with which you will free yourself from all Karmic bondage, or sin. 
Geeta 2.40
No effort is ever lost in selfless service, and there is no adverse effect. Even a little practice of the discipline of selfless service protects one from the great fear of repeated birth and death. 
Geeta 2.41
A selfless worker has resolute determination for God-realization, but the desires of the one who works to enjoy the fruits of work are endless. 

And this is what Swami Vivekananda said about Sewa or Karma Yoga.
Karma-Yoga is the attaining through unselfish work of that freedom which is the goal of all human nature. Every selfish action, therefore, retards our reaching the goal, and every unselfish action takes us towards the goal; that is why the only definition that can be given of morality is this: That which is selfish is immoral, and that which is unselfish is moral.
"Sewa" is Sanskrit word that means selfless service - a unique concept of Service - Selfless Efforts for Welfare of All.

विरक्त सन्त : स्वामी रामसुखदास जी

3 जुलाई/पुण्य-तिथि विरक्त सन्त    : स्वामी रामसुखदास जी धर्मप्राण भारत में एक से बढ़कर एक विरक्त सन्त एवं महात्माओं ने जन्म लिया है। ऐसे ही सन्तों में शिरोमणि थे परम वीतरागी स्वामी रामसुखदेव जी महाराज। स्वामी जी के जन्म आदि की ठीक तिथि एवं स्थान का प्रायः पता नहीं लगता; क्योंकि इस बारे में उन्होंने पूछने पर भी कभी चर्चा नहीं की। फिर भी जिला बीकानेर (राजस्थान) के किसी गाँव में उनका जन्म 1902 ई. में हुआ था, ऐसा कहा जाता है। उनका बचपन का नाम क्या था, यह भी लोगों को नहीं पता; पर इतना सत्य है कि बाल्यवस्था से ही साधु सन्तों के साथ बैठने में उन्हें बहुत सुख मिलता था। जिस अवस्था में अन्य बच्चे खेलकूद और खाने-पीने में लगे रहते थे, उस समय वे एकान्त में बैठकर साधना करना पसन्द करते थे। बीकानेर में ही उनका सम्पर्क श्री गम्भीरचन्द दुजारी से हुआ। दुजारी जी भाई हनुमानप्रसाद पोद्दार एवं सेठ जयदयाल गोयन्दका के आध्यात्मिक विचारों से बहुत प्रभावित थे। इस प्रकार रामसुखदास जी भी इन महानुभावों के सम्पर्क में आ गये। जब इन महानुभावों ने गोरखपुर में ‘गीता प्रेस’ की स्थापना की, तो रा...

Sanaran Dharma and Bharat hater Angana P. Chatterji

Excerpts from the book Braking India by Rajiv Malhotra  and Aravindan Neelakandan. They reveal lies of leftist historian/professors in chapter 14 of the book.   Angana P. Chatterji Angana Chatterji is associate professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology at California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), an institution that was established specifically to bring the spiritual teachings of Sri Aurobindo to the West. Ironically, she has used this position to do exactly the opposite, namely, to try to demolish the legitimacy of Indian spirituality and the Indian nation. She cites her interests as ‘identity politics, nationalisms, self-determination.’ [i] Prior to joining CIIS, she worked in policy and advocacy research at the Indian Social Institute, which is run by Jesuits in Delhi, for the explicit purpose of propagating ‘Christian inspiration and following the social teaching of the Catholic Church.’ [ii] Chatterji provided ‘critical assistance’ to a highly libelous and u...
