"Serve all beings as service to God" - HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami

#ServingTheCommunity

About our branch

"Chinna Jeeyar Swami Ji's words, 'Serve all beings as Service to God,' have profoundly impacted me. If we aspire for our children to lead fulfilling lives, it's imperative that we demonstrate to them the importance of truth and the practice of righteousness.
Serving all beings is a divine privilege, as it is tantamount to worshiping God, who resides within every living being. Volunteering manifests in various forms, but contributing to an organization becomes meaningful when we align with their mission and vision, driven by a desire to partake in the positive impact it has on people's lives.
During the journey of life, teenagers possess an abundance of energy and passion. When guided wisely, they can perform incredible feats, spreading beauty and happiness. When we channel our passion towards serving others, it transforms into our life's purpose.
The synergy between adult mentorship and the enthusiasm of the modern generation can bridge gaps, preserving and advancing core values. Volunteering not only enriches one's knowledge but also nurtures inner tranquility, akin to a form of yoga—an enduring path of self-development.
While many believe that volunteering primarily benefits the recipients, in reality, it profoundly enhances the mental well-being of volunteers, promoting positivity and ultimately contributing to a better world."
Furthermore, the ripple effect of volunteers' efforts in creating a better world is also a well-established concept. When individuals volunteer their time and skills to help others, it can lead to positive changes in communities, foster social connections, and address various societal issues, ultimately contributing to a more compassionate and better world.
