When should we AIM for Seva?

Seva is a selfless service – and there is no better time than the present! When we heard about AIM for Seva and their goal to take education to hundreds of underprivileged children across various cities in India, we were immediately onboard! At IndianRaga we believe that education is a fundamental right that should be available to all.

"Madhura Madhura Meenakshi" extols the divinity of Meenakshi, the ruling female deity of the southern Indian city of Madurai. This beautiful song was composed by Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati, one of the most profound thinkers and teachers of Vedanta.

Meenakshi, who was regarded as a knowledgeable, wise, and benevolent ruler, represents the power that complete education can bestow upon a girl.

For over 20 years, AIM for Seva has been helping to educate the girls of rural India through a network of Chatralayas (Free Student Hostels) and educational institutions, spread across 15 Indian states.

We need your help to continue our Seva to the less privileged girls of rural India, who will benefit greatly from Vidya Dānam (Gift of Knowledge).
