Seva

Seva means selfless service — helping others with love, without expecting anything in return.
It is the essence of Dattatreya’s path, where compassion becomes worship and kindness becomes spiritual practice.

Why Seva Matters

Dattatreya teaches that the Divine lives in every being — humans, animals, and nature.
When we serve others, we serve God.

Seva helps us:

• Grow in humility

• Remove ego

• Bring peace to the mind

• Discover our true nature

• Spread harmony in the world
