SEVA to Realize the SELF

Selfless Service

Mahesh C. Mangalick

In villages around India, many people have no facilities that provide adequate health care and education, despite the Indian government allocating an enormous amount of funding. In order to offset this lack of health care and educational facilities in Indian villages, many private individuals and organizations provide medical services and educational opportunities to the poor.

This book details two major SEVA projects founded by Mr. and Mrs. P.C. Mangalick in Agra, India. SEVA is selfless service that an individual or group provides to underprivileged people. These acts of selfless service are prompted by an awareness of the presence of God in all beings. This book describes how SEVA leads to a purified mind and, therefore, an understanding of the self, the part of "one source" (God) within an individual’s personality.
