SERVE

“You are full of Energy, use it for the service of others, raise their consciousness level and live to make the world a better place”
- Paramahamsa Satyananda

A central tenet of the Satyananda tradition is selfless service (Seva) to others. The act of giving is a powerful tool for personal development. Paramahansa Satyananda culminated a lifetime of intense y

oga practice by taking personal responsibility for every villager in his vicinity. He proves that one person can make a profound difference in the lives of many. You can do the same. NAG encourages the Satyananda Yoga community to reach out to serve those in need. The application of Yoga for positive change is unlimited. Push the limits. Give back.

Original Project – The NAG Fund

The concept of a North American Gurukul Fund began as a private venture in 2001 as the result of an informal discussion among Swami Satyadharma and Sannyasis Atmarupa and Nawaratri. At that time the purpose was to raise money to construct a residential dormitory at the ashram in Rikhia. The offerings collected through this fund are memorialized in the entrance plaque to the building Paramahansa 3.

In 2004, the name North American Gurukul was adopted for the newly incorporated nonprofit organization that is now functioning as NAG. One of the tenets of NAG is to provide funding for seva projects.

NAG Service Projects

In the Fall of 2009, North American Gurukul began exploring the possibility of funding Satyananda Yoga-related service projects. The first project that came to fruition was purchasing supplies, including yoga mats, blankets, and CDs, for women in the addiction recovery program at the Orca House in Cleveland, Ohio.
