Crown of Life

1. Seva - Selfless Service: Understanding our caring nature enables us manifest these attributes in our lives.

2. Satya -  Truthfulness: Accessing our true nature through truthfulness, self introspection.

3. Yoga (Asana) Practice: Creating a healthy in-tune body allows us to be present with the body and in the living moment.  Pranayama: Prana: Life-force or vitality.

4. Music - Chanting, Bhajans, Kirtan:  Listening to certain music and bhajans allows us to access our feelings and places of inspiration within ourselves.           

5. Meditation - Walking and Sitting: Simply being present in the living moment, the mind at rest.

6. Bhakti Yoga – Love: The true mystic emphatically states that all love is a reflection of God’s being.

Quote on Seva - Selfless Service:

          ”What is the object in Seva or service? Why do you serve poor people and the suffering humanity at large?  By doing service, you purify your heart.  Egoism, hatred, and jealousy vanish. Humility, pure love and sympathy and mercy are developed.  Sense of separateness is annihilated.  Selfishness eradicated.  You get a broad outlook on life.  You develop a broad heart, generous views.  Eventually, you get Knowledge of the Self.  You realize the all-in-One and all-in- One. You feel unbounded joy.”
