Bhai Kanhaya was a pioneer of the sacred tradition of selfless service. He was blessed with such a kind and charitable disposition that he did not see any difference between friend and foe. In the battlefield, he served water to wounded Turks with the same generosity as he served it to his own soldiers, and gave practical shape to the words of the Gurbani: "Na koi bairi, na hi begana, sagal sang hum ko ban aai" (enmity to none, friendship for all). When someone complained of this to the Guru, Bhai Kanhaya said that he saw none but the Guru himself in everyone.
“Center your awareness on seva-selfless service-and focus your consciousness on the Word of the Shabad.”
Guru Amar Daas Ji - Raag Maajh 110
The SikhNet Community Service Corp is a group of volunteers who are dedicated to being the change they wish to see in the world. Being in the world in a spirit of service, we believe that peace and global sustainability will materialize through the shared knowledge, resources and actions of all individuals.
SikhNet assists these volunteers by giving them a way to network, share information with each other and develop projects together. In time, we will also work to create an annual listing with service opportunities for everyone in the Corps to do together.
This is about your commitment to serve in your neighborhood community, about being visible serving the greater humanity, and encouraging and involving other people. Share your skills and experience with others will change your life and the life of those you serve.
There are many opportunities for service. Some types of service you could offer are:
* Simple physical labor (cooking, building, other types of construction and cleaning)
* Share a skill or talent (Web development, graphics or art, organizational skills, mediation)
* Contribute monetarily to an ongoing project that has inspired you (dhan seva.)
