Seva param dharma...

Multi millionaires are setting trends by donating crores of rupees for good causes like education ,health facilities and many other purposes (one example is from Birla who makes Birla mandirs and manages them). Whereas medium class people usually pay donations for water facilities ,to institutions who have vast networks for utilization of these funds .Very low income status person also donate to beggers and in temples ect.
But the real “Seva” for mankind is working for the comfort of an ill or disabled person . A person who is bedridden with an ailment such as paralyses, cancer, old age ,working for his comfort and living with him and helping him or her in their daily work is the best service a person can give to mankind.
Talking about “Seva” and not mentioning Mother Teresa and Florence Nightingale is like going to a temple and not acknowledging the power of the almighty. These two ladies devoted there whole life working for humanity and both are regarded as epitome of care and devotion. Mother teresa worked for leprosy patients at different hospitals and also formed “Missionaries of charity” an organization which works for them till date. Florence Nightingale (the lady with the lamp) was a nurse and she served the patients whole heartedly throughout her life with a same zeal.
