Service in Satchidananda: Buckingham, Virginia

Seva

Christmas 2018: For over 30 years, “Christmas in Buckingham” has brought holiday cheer to Yogaville’s neighbors. And, now again this year, “Christmas in Buckingham” has been underway. What a joy those who are participating are! How sweetly they manifest Swami Satchidananda’s compassion. Because of their deliveries of food, clothing, and gifts donated by sangha, many of those in need—including the elderly and home-bound—in Buckingham county, Virginia, received this seva during the holiday season. Elves and recipients alike shared the true spirit of the holidays. My gratitude to the elves who sent me the photos and information to present.
