SEVA
Seva or Self-Less Service are commonly used terms in spiritual disciplines and in world religions such as Hinduism and Sikhism. The concept is similar to the Christian ideal of Charity as a form of love or devotion for one's fellow man. Because God is perceived as residing in the heart of others, serving other people (and in particular helping them to find God by way of a spiritual teacher) is considered an essential devotional practice.
Self-Less service is also similar conceptually to Karma Yoga. However, Karma Yoga applies to work in general, while selfless service relates specifically to serving the Guru's spiritual mission. Service has three forms, as in the Punjabi "Tan, Man, and Dhan" i.e., physical, mental, and financial forms of service.
Our church vision of World Peace by Mother's Day, May 2013 is a symbol of our respect FOR the Mother, as represented by our Mother Earth.
Our church mission of "How To" have this happen is our teaching of respect FOR all religions.
Our hope and prayer is that you too will see the benefit for yourself of "inner peace" .... as we believe that through understanding and accepting of all belief systems comes inner peace.
Inner peace creates outer peace, and hence world peace.
And so we offer you the opportunity to share your religious beliefs with others in a way that supports your own personal evolution and understanding of the four basic truths of your own path to God or Goddess in unconditional love and respect of all facets of your nature, beliefs, religions, and our ONE collective interest in spirit, i.e., spirituality.
The common ground ways that we request support of our congregation is via your experimentation and feedback on emotional cleaning and meditation, which we believe is spiritual, not religious, and will help all of the faithful create a stronger bond and connection to their Beloved whether it be the Divine Mother, God, Allah, Christ, Buddha, or a divine being of any name, a sweet rose of truth to be shared, experienced and enjoyed within.
Each has their own personal path to Freedom, and all are welcomed to experience their own true nature without judgement in our church community, so we invite you to join us in selfless service to mankind by going deep inside your own hearts, minds and souls starting with a daily welcome greeting of ... OM!
