It’s not the “WHAT,”  but the “HOW!” -Swami Kriyananda

The Ananda Thousand Oaks community is coming together in joyful, selfless service. Please join us Wed. evening, May. 3, 6:00pm-7:00pm. Come serve in the center, help us clean, contribute to its beautiful energy. Enjoy chants and spiritual community while working. Followed by a short meditation.

Seva is serving without selfish motive or desire for recognition. Whatever we do in life, if done in attunement to God as an instrument of His divine presence, advances us toward freedom (moksha.)

Here are just a few additional key concepts of Seva:

  • Ananda Seva (joy-filled service) can truly be a way of dissolving the ego.
  • Serve with a flow of God’s love, both seeing those we serve as a form of the Divine and feeling that it is the Divine who is serving through us.
  • The attitudes with which we serve are more important than the type of service performed.
  • Our primary goal in serving others is to uplift consciousness, both theirs and ours.
  • Serving with like-minded friends within a spiritual environment transforms our lives, bringing joy into everything we do, awakening Soul consciousness.
  • Service should be rooted in a daily practice of meditation.

Date & Time:  May 3,  6:00pm-7:00pm.

Location: Ananda Thousand Oaks, 1321 Thousand Oaks Blvd. #124.
