Welcome to Seva/Volunteer Signup for Amma's New England Tour
A few quotes of Amma on Seva or selfless service
“One should see any opportunity to serve as a rare and precious gift from God and never waste such an opportunity.”
“As you perform good actions selflessly, true love will blossom, which will purify our emotional mind.”
“Children, when you serve the world selflessly, you are serving Mother Herself.”
Below is a list of many of the available sevas.
