'Selfless service is the fastest way to reach God’ - Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Karma Yoga is the foundation of Haidakhan Babaji’s teachings and our main practice at Nithya Nilayam. Babaji teaches that we can be liberated and purified from accumulated negative karma through the path of Karma Yoga. The simple and beautiful practice of becoming aware of life, moment-to-moment, leads to tremendous insights and realisations. It is therefore a path of active meditation.

´´Karma Yoga is selfless action devoted to the Divine, and my Father Haidakhan Babaji has taught and is still teaching that during the practice of selfless service, which is karma yoga, it is important to repeat the name of God. It’s the only tool that can transform ourselves, our community and the world around us. Only love can support the practice of Karma Yoga. Without love, there is no karma yoga. Love is what moves, what transforms everything. It is the active seed that grows and creates harmony through work.`` ~ Kriyaji

We are taught at Nithya Nilayam that Karma Yoga is love in action. To serve humanity is serving God. There is no room for ego-identification, the actions are of service to everyone and everything. Selfless service given together for a common purpose creates unity, love and peace in the community. Performed in harmony with all Creation our actions become an offering to the Divine. When we overcome laziness and resistance, creative energy starts to move through us, using us as instruments of the Divine and life becomes a living meditation.

‘’If everyone works diligently and with love,

there will be peace throughout the world."

~ Sri Babaji
