What is 'SEVA'?
Check out this video to know more about the idea of Seva, and learn more about how AIM For Seva brings access to education to underprivileged kids across hundreds of cities in India. Do your Seva and inspire others around you!
"Bharata Desa Hitaya" is a composition by Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati. The essence of the song is a call to everyone to contribute, in their own way, towards the welfare of the people of this country.
This music video was shot in Manjakkudi (a small village in the Tiruvarur District of Tamil Nadu) - the birthplace of Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati.
The schools shown in this video provide a platform for education and empowerment for over 4,000 first-generation learners, who come from 300 neighbouring villages.
AIM for Seva has been working to educate the children of rural India through our network of 104 Chatralayams, 6 schools, and 1 college, spread across 16 Indian states, for over 20 years.
We need your help to continue our Seva to the less privileged children of rural India.

Pallavi Bhārata-deśa-hitāya
Bharatādi-mahāmati-sevita (Bhāratadeśa . . .)
Anupallavi Āsetu-himācala-vanagirijana-saṃrakṣaṇāya
Kuru sevāṃtvaṃ kuru sevāṃtvam
Kuru sevāṃtvaṃ kuru sevām (Bhāratadeśa . . .)
Caraṇam Āyurārogya-vivardhanāya

Bharata Desha Hitaya meaning:
You do your sevā(selfless service)
For the good of our country Bhārata,
Which was served by the great minds such as Bharara*
You do your sevā
For the protection of the people
In the remote hills and forests,
And their environment all over
From the Seguin the South to Himālayain the North
You do your sevā
To improve the health and longevity of all,
To establish dharma everywhere,
To remove poverty and maintain prosperity,
To enable the helpless to become self-reliant contributors
(* Rama’s brother Bharata, Bharatamuniofnāṭyaśāstra,
Emperor Bharata, sage Jaḍabharata and others)
