Seva Parmo Dharmah is the ethos that has sustained India through centuries of changes and challenges. It has given our civilization its inner strength. Many of our great saints and reformers have carried forward this timeless message. Sri Sathya Sai Baba placed seva at the very heart of human life. He often said, love all, serve all..."
