Seva involves performing tasks for the benefit of others without expecting anything in return. It’s an essential part of yogic life and a key aspect of our festival.
These tasks are the heartbeat of our festival, allowing us to keep our prices low and accessible to all. But beyond this, seva is about embracing the essence of yogic life—doing for others without expecting anything in return. It’s a chance to transcend our own needs and serve the greater good.
For many, seva is the highlight of the festival. It’s where friendships blossom, where bonds are forged in service and shared experiences. Joining our Seva team isn’t just about lending a hand; it’s about becoming part of a supportive community, growing together, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

Embracing Karma Yoga, The Art of Seva – Selfless Service
“In the realm of spiritual growth, Karma Yoga (seva) emerges as the sublime art of achieving union through dedicated yet unattached action. At its essence, it beckons individuals to undertake actions devoid of any expectation of recompense, be it power, money, or respect.
This unique approach involves executing all actions with a profound sense of detachment, aiming to eliminate negative reactions to past deeds, whether they unfolded in this present life or in the tapestry of previous ones. While the implications may transcend immediate verification, our focus here pertains to physical labor and service.
In a sense, Karma Yoga shares common ground with acts of charity, yet it distinguishes itself by steering clear of the accumulative sense of debt and dependency that often accompanies traditional notions of charity. It invites us to engage in service with a spirit of benevolence, free from the weight of obligation, fostering a transformative journey toward selflessness and harmony.”
