COMMUNITY SERVICE

COMMUNITy service is one of the best ways to help benefit the public or give back to your community. It does not only have positive effects on society, but it will bring benefits to your life and personal development, we enrich our lives.

Engaging in community service provides people with the opportunity to become active members of their community and has a lasting, positive impact on society at large. Community service enables individuals to acquire life skills and knowledge, as well as provide a service to those who need it most.

Community service will help connect to the community, benefits your career prospects, raises social awareness, establishes contacts and friendships, helps develop improve your skills and talents.

Basically, community service can help you to feel really good too. When a project is finalised and you can see the fruits of your labour, it feels good knowing that you were involved in something selflessly that benefitted the community without expecting anything in return. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile. I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know, the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve, without looking for personal gain. Let us join together today to create a fabulous tomorrow.

Principal Philosophy

Arya Samaj promotes one GOD, the VEDAS ,their true teachings and encourages selfless service to the community.The principal philosophy of Arya Samaj means that three entities are eternal or beginningless i.e God, the soul, and the prakriti (matter). VEDAS advocate the philosophy of existence of GOD, Soul and Matter before the Creation, during the Creation and after the Creation is over. GOD has bestowed humans with knowledge for the progress and well-being. It is therefore natural to accept that this knowledge must have been given to humans at the time of creation so that they may follow the path of righteousness.

GOD is one , exists all the time. He is the source of all true knowledge. VEDAS paves the way for all round development of life.Vedas tell us how to live life and how to attain salvation (moksh). GOD is the source of all joy and happiness. He is formless (has no shape or body). He has created this world in which we live. He is kind to us all. He is just and merciful. GOD is formless, omniscient, just, merciful, unborn, endless, unchangeable, beginningless, all-pervading , allintelligent, all- powerful unequalled, the support of all, the master of all, omnipresent, immanent, unaging, immortal, fearless, eternal, GOD alone is worthy of being worshipped. Souls are infinite. Souls have been co-existing with GOD; they were never created into existence, nor shall they ever die. Souls are living individuals. They are likely to be affected by weaknesses such as wrong doings and therefore, they take body forms of human or other living creatures according to their deeds, through which they function. In this body each individual is responsible for his or her actions. Not only do human beings possess souls, but animals also have souls. Matter Prakriti -water, air, heat, soil and ether exists at the time, in atom form, with GOD and the Souls. All the three (GOD, Soul and Matter) are eternal, are uncreated that is, they have been existing for all times, and they would continue to do so. The matter when put into action by GOD leads to the entire creation, The Vedic trio of GODSoul-Matter can be best understood by a careful perusal of Maharshi Swami Dayanand Jis SatyarthPrakash (Light

Truth),-to be continued.
