'Demystifies the Sikh way of living a good life in seven simple steps' Vogue India
Think of any scene of disaster and you'll find Sikh volunteers rallying to the site to perform seva - pronounced 'say-va', meaning selfless service - feeding migrant workers, helping riot victims, and cleaning up after earthquakes and floods. Why has this 30 million strong community become the world's Good Samaritan? What is it about their values that makes so many of them do so much good? And how is it that they're also able to channel so much joy and laughter while serving others?
Through science-based studies, interviews with Sikhs and a look at history and fables, Seva unlocks seven Sikh-inspired rules to help anyone become kinder, happier and lead a more meaningful life. A secular handbook for the modern world, Seva is a beautiful, inspiring and moving book that will change you from the inside out.
Jasreen Mayal Khanna is a travel and lifestyle journalist who contributes to publications including Conde Nast Traveller and Vogue India. She is based in Mumbai and was inspired to write Seva, a secular ode to Sikh ideals, after the birth of her first child.
