To be Happy Serve Others: Five simple Karma Yogas

The word "Philosophy" is derived from the Ancient Greek - philosophía (compounded from phílos: friend, or lover and sophía: wisdom). To quote from WikiPedia, "Philosophy is the discipline concerned with the questions of what is the right way to live (ethics), what sorts of things ultimately exist and what are their essential natures (metaphysics), what is to count as genuine knowledge (epistemology), and what are the correct principles of reasoning (logic).

To be Happy Serve Others: Five simple Karma Yogas

Post by Pravin Kumar » Tue Dec 10, 2013 11:10 am

1. Offer something to someone for free.

   If you’re a yoga teacher, offer a free class or workshop for beginners. If you’re a baker, bake some cookies and go give them to the homeless or poor. If you’re a writer, write a manifesto or essay and offer it to your audience for free.

   Get the idea? The possibilities are endless.

   2. Donate time and attention.

   This can be done through traditional volunteering through a non-profit organization—or by sitting with someone (anyone) and giving them your precious time and presence.

   3. Donate money.

   It doesn’t have to be a lot. Not all philanthropists are millionaires. A little money goes along way in developing countries.

   You can donate a lump sum, or set up your business to donate a certain percentage of your profits to a worthwhile service organization. For example, 10 percent of my e-book proceeds go to Watsi, a global crowdfunding site that provides medical care for people in need.

   4. Give stuff away.

   Whether it’s to a church charity, Goodwill or directly to someone in need, giving away our used (but still in good condition) clothes, toys and other household items benefits both the giver and the receiver.

   5. Plant a tree.

   And reduce, reuse and recycle. In other words, be more green. That serves our environment, which serves all beings and Earth itself.
