SEVA (VOLUNTEER) OPPORTUNITIES
Seva is selfless service:
“Seva or service is infinite giving. When I am honored in my consciousness for doing something, it is Seva. When I stand before my consciousness, I feel good, and I say, ‘Well, I am so blessed that I could do it. That’s Seva.”
– Yogi Bhajan 7/22/1978
Sat Tirath Ashram

Stay at the Ashram and immerse yourself in our wonderful yogic lifestyle program with other like-minded members.
The KC Kundalini Yoga Center offers many opportunities for Seva, both inside the ashram and in the surrounding yards and gardens.
Karma Yoga helps to balance ones karma (results of good and bad actions). During Karma Yoga, we meditate and focus on our connection to God. Kar Seva is selfless service, work we do together as a community such as cooking and serving communal meals, cleaning the yoga rooms and other spaces, doing yard work, gardening or snow removal. Contact Sat Inder (816) 561-5337 to schedule your Karma Yoga.
