Seva is Selfless service a sacred practice in many spiritual traditions referred to as Karma Yoga in yogic traditions. Seva/Karma Yoga is one of the four main paths of yoga and is considered the foundation of bringing True Yoga into everyday life. It is through these practices of selflessly giving that we learn to transcend the ego and put love into action.
