The Best Kind of Help is to Empower Others
Swami Vivekananda’s philosophy of “service to humanity is service to God” is rooted in the idea that all human beings are manifestations of the divine. He believed that serving others, especially the poor and downtrodden, is a way to worship God. This principle is a core tenet of his teachings and is encapsulated in the Sanskrit phrase “Jiva is Shiva,” meaning each soul is potentially divine. Anita Bose’s life is inspired by Swami Vivekananda & Ramakrishna ideologies (Bhabdhara). Her goal in life is to serve humanity, embodying the principle that service to others is service to God.
