Karma Yoga

                      Karma yoga works on the attitudinal part, preparing to change the perception of selfish activity into selfless activity. It tries to change the influence and effects of the activity from being self-oriented to globally orient. This attitude has to be applied not only logically but in practical life. Karma yoga is relating with activity, not going ahead of the activity, because then the ego of a human being comes in. The ego of a person can say, “Why should I do that? Others can do it!" but in karma yoga the attitude of selflessness becomes more dominant. By actual nature karmas are selfish. When yoga word was added to karma, it changed its quality from selfish to selfless. This is the reason why it is said that selfless karma is karma yoga. Seva is different. There does nor exists any word in English which really defines seva. Service is not seva. Seva is serving and helping other people with compassion, serving not for personal benefits but to uplift others.

                    If you have a yoga business, your goal should be the most complete Yoga site. You can advertise your business, sell your yoga products, and advertise your yoga classes and retreats.

                   Seva Yoga does not mean meeting your own aims, it means offering that service as a homa, as an offering in the yajna of the life. Seva contains the best which is there in you. When it is offered to another human being and it consists of your best thoughts and feelings, your love and affection, sympathy and compassion, then that action becomes a blessing in disguise to uplift another human being. That is seva.
