Loving Sairams from Sri Sathya Sai Vaatsalyam!
Seva is often as much about being present as it is about giving.
As part of Sri Sathya Sai Prema Dayini, our Chennai volunteers undertook Narayana Seva through the Golden Butterflies Organisation, a trust that supports children undergoing cancer treatment at the Chennai Government Hospital and stands by their families through a difficult journey.
The seva reached families of young cancer patients, with essential provisions offered to each family. More than the provisions, it was the time spent together that made the experience special. Volunteers had the opportunity to meet the families, listen to their experiences, share conversations and simply be present.
The families received the volunteers with immense warmth, humility and gratitude. In their gracious acceptance was a quiet reminder of what seva truly means. We may come with the intention to give, but it is their love, humility and gracious acceptance that allow us to serve. And in that exchange, what begins as an offering becomes a shared experience of compassion, connection and love.
