 | | The foundation, according to its thirtieth anniversary report, “was dedicated to developing a model of ‘service in action,’ to helping others and deepening their own spiritual process.” SEVA’s original supporters and board members included Ram Dass, Wavy Gravy, and a number of other activists, spiritual people and medical professionals. |  | | But it was with the birth of The SEVA Foundation in 1978 that Ram Dass’ vision of spirituality and social service found its most effective vehicle. |  | | Karma yoga, or “selfless-service,” is spelled out in the Bhagavad Gita, as “one of the ways to reach God.” But although Ram Dass remains friends with SEVA and its staff, he feels that the organization has diverged from this view. |
