Recap of Karma Yoga and Seva - Wisdom Waves Satsang 31/8/2024:

Karma Yoga: The Path of Selfless Action

  • Concept: Each action is a seed; some bring obstacles, others bring joy and spiritual support.

  • Action and Inaction: Both are forms of action with their own consequences.

  • Harmony with Higher Self: "Yoga Karmasu Kosalam" (Bhagavad Gita 2:50) - Align actions with your Highest Self for spiritual growth.

Seva: The Expression of Belief Through Selfless Service

  • Belief in Action: Seva embodies our highest values in our actions

  • Diverse Forms: This is not just the soup kitchen and Mother Theresa kind of Seva. The Seva od Motherhood, teaching and sharing wellbeing, and so forth are also Seva opportunities and able to create profound spiritual transformation when undertaken with the correct attitude.

  • Divine Service: "Every selfless act is born from the Brahman" (Bhagavad Gita 3:15-19) - Selfless service connects us to the Divine.

Humility: Foundation of Sincere Yoga Practice

  • Key Attitude: Recognize every single individual has limitations, not just others that we so easily judge. Know that you are enough without being everything perfectly, and stay stay grounded in surrender to the vastness of this Universe.

  • Example: Hanuman - Power balanced with humility, service as the highest form of Yoga.

  • Prana Connection: Harness inner strength without ego, grow deeply, authentically as dedicated practitioners and teachers.

With Love and Humble Pranams, Kal Prakashini

Namaste, I find it very difficult to feel that  I am part of the community. I have never been in the ashram. it's all virtual till now. I have no idea how to build up this feeling. I did the classes now for 2 years on youtube and now signed up a month ago. every satsang, classes etc inspires me very much and many things change in my life and I am very grateful for this.

Hello and namaste to this great community!
My name is Stephan and whilst I live in Sweden, I spend a lot of time in Tokyo due to my profession (if any of you are in Tokyo, please reach out!).
Yoga has become a key principle in my life, like the air we breathe and although years are passing, I still consider myself a beginner, practicing mostly through the wonderful Video guidance of Akhanda Yoga and Guruji 🙏
Due to my tight schedule I would like to follow a given morning sadhana of about 30 minutes which I can follow for 11 weeks - any rekommendations are very welcome.
Blessings to you all 🙌
