Hari Om Swamiji, Namaste, Thank you for the answer. I also thank you for spending the most precious time with us on our visit back from Athirapalli. Swamiji, What exactly is the meaning of “Manav Seva is Madhav Seva” . Can it be linked with Geeta Sloka “Karmanye Vaadhikaarashte ma…” 2. We used to chant “Devi Mahatmyam” in the nearby temple during temple Utsav and on fridays. There is a family temple near by. They conduct their yearly puja and family get together. They want us to recite Devi Mahatmyam there. We requested them that you can come here and practice as ample time is there for the function. But they are not ready for that. They are ready to give “dakshina” to us for reciting. Swamiji our samiti (Not all members) is not in favour of that. Because we had gone to recite in the nearby temple. All the devotees were busy talking, or engaged in some or the other work. When we finish they come and give us dakshina and talk a few words. Some of the members say that we should not bother about the atmosphere. We are reciting for the Lord and we should give our best recital. There is lot of confusion within the samiti “to go or not to go” please guide. With Respect,

It is really pathetic that people still believe they can have someone chant on their behalf for a “dakshina”. Mantras create a positive environment no matter who recites it, but maximum benefit goes to the one who chants. Any action of service you do for a fellow being with the right intention is service to God himself. That is what ” Manava Seva…….. ” means. Karmanyevadhikarasthe…. Also reminds you that you have no control over the results of your action as it is all ‘Time controlled’. Once you do a good deed with the right intention, always accept the results as “Bhagavan’s Prasad”.
