JAI SWAMINARAYAN The inspiration I got from the incident (servant's
servant) is that everything is not in our hands but it is in God's hands.
We may think that we are Kings or Queens but in reality we are slaves,
slaves of God. We have come in this world for a special reason. The reason
is that we do seva,bhakti and make bapa happy by doing good things like
studying etc... So why not take this opportunity to please BHAGWAN
SWAMINARAYAN and go to Akshardham forever. JAI SWAMINARAYAN

This inspired me to do more seva for the mandir. Not just for the
mandir, but for all. Places like home, school, etc. It also inspired me to
do seva for people younger than me. Also that age doesn't matter for who
you do seva for.

I learned that even though Yogi Bapa, was a guru, he washed not his
clothes, but the youths clothes! He could have told the servents to do it,
but he didn't! I've learned that even though a guru is a the president of
all presidents, he does more work than a president does!

Yogiji Maharaj's jivan mantra was seva. Since childhood he was very
fond of seva. Being a mahant, he used to make 300 rotlas everyday. From
the above incidence, we should learn to do seva, whether its small or big,
by wealth, by body or by mind. Always accept seva as your fortune. We pray
guruhari to give us the satsang seva now and always

I learnt that Yogi Bapa liked to be a servant to all the volunteers. I
learnt from the story that I would like to help people in life.

As a swayamsevaka we everybody should finish our own daily work. We
should be active to improve the actual quality of swayamsevaka. Even also
in the sickness and physical disability we should try to help ourself.
Feel happy in helping others & teammembers. Dedicate ourself to
society.

I get inspired that we shouldn't be egoist. And, one more thing that
we should stay as a "das no das" meaning a servant of a servant.

The selection above inspirsme that even though bapa could have just
left the clothes there he washed them not because he had to but because he
wanted to. It tells me that if anything is laying around insted of just
walking past it i should pick it up and help some one and if not that than
the world around you. Jay swaminarayan.

I get the inspiration that we should do and think good of everybody.I
have heard many good stories of Yogi Bapa,which have inspired me.From this
picture and story,I get the inspiration that"WE SHOULD WORK HARD FOR
OURSELVES AND FOR OTHERS TOO."

We learn that we should always do seva and be a swayam-sevak. Things
we can do include: -Helping parents -obeying niyams When we do this, we
feel much more better than we felt before doing it. Doing seva for anyone
we know is good. Doing seva at the Mandir is the best place to do seva. At
home, you can wash the dishes and study hard that is another way of doing
seva.

I am totally inspired by how Yogiji maharag acted like a servants
servant. It helped me understand what ego can create just by having some.
So it is best to try to get rid of ego at this age. So when you grow up it
will not bother you because you tried to get rid of it and succeded. My
best will try to be done for all I have said and understood from this
totally inspireing article once and for all. Jai Swaminarayan to
all.

What nirmanipanu in washing his own sevaks' clothes...what mahima
that, "Oh! I am washing haribhaktos' clothes! Akshardham na Muktas'
clothes!"... Nirmanipanu and mahima...those gunas of Yogi Bapa really
touch me and inspire me to do seva...

It inspires me to go and ask my sanchalaks to assign me whatever seva
needs to be done, especially since Yogi Bapa valued doing seva himself so
much. Just as a broom removes dirt from the floor, seva removes dirt from
our soul. We should remember that our mandir is Bhagwan's home and we
should look and find seva, without anyone telling us to do seva. If we
keep up the habit of doing selfless seva, we will make Swami Bapa very
happy!

I want to do seva in the mandir too. I want to keep the mandir clean
because it is God's home. I want to sweep the floor and pick up the
garbage to keep my mandir clean. I want to serve food to people that come
to sabha. I want to take the Arti to the people.

This story gives me the inspiration that yogi bapa loved seva and
bhakti from the very start. It tells me that yogi bapa cares alot about
all his devotees. This incident that bapa does at an old age gives me the
inspiration to do seva for devotees. After all in good of others lies our
own.

Wow! What a prasang. Yogi Bapa was truly an inspiring and
heart-touching individual! After reading this prasang I feel so
privilidged to have the seva of building this mandir in Atlanta. Afterall,
how many people get the chance to build a mandir? Not many. Therefore,
this summer I am going to do as much as seva as I can admist the
production of this gorgeous mandir. Also when Swami comes this summer to
America, I am going to get the maximum amount of labh that I can.

Jsn i think that this prasan ginspires me alot, Yogibapa always used
to say that "I am not a leader! I am but a meek servant. My importance
lies as a dishwasher. In doing Menial Seva". This tells me that i have to
each and very haribhakto's seva no matter how old they are whether they
are younger or older it is my duty as a Satsangi to do their seva. Swami
Bapa kahe chhe ke "Das na Das thaine rahevu". Taking this account I think
that both Yogiji Maharaj and Prmaukh Swami Maharaj both play such a
massive role in my life they inspre me to da max and i leanr alot from
looking back to the life our guru's have lived. Jsn

The inspiration that I got from this inspiring incident is that seva
is very important. Seva is important because first of all it helps others
too. For example if you are cleaning something for some one else then the
other person experiences cleanliness (like the incident with Swami bapa.)
Second of all, seva is important because it helps us reach moksh. Doing
seva we please Bapa and Maharaj. That is the inspiration of this incident
and why it is important.

This is an inspiring prasang. It tells me the true meaning of seva.It
is not only to pick up trash because someone tells you to, but it is to do
it lovingly with Maharaj and Swami in mind.Also, this prasang inspires me
to never be lazy. If you see a piece of paper on the floor, pick it up,
even if you didn't throw it there. This is the inspiration this prasang
gave me.

I learned that servants and volunteers do not have to do everything
for you.Sometimes you should do common things without having someone do it
for you.I have an example.My grandparents are old and need help.They have
a helper.One time my grandma was up in the morning,her helper was late and
she made breakfast herself without help.

yogji maharajs heart is fillede with love for maharaj none eles and we
can show this by doing seva.we may think that there are people lower then
us that should the this cleaning up so why should we. but yogili maharaj
did'nt thinhk like this he was the most respected and higest sant then
still .he did not care that even a high sant like him is doing all this
seva even at this age.so we should look up to him as a ideal rolemouuld
and help out and show mahraj that you love him.

Jai Swaminarayan to all. Bapa and Yogi Bapa and all of our gurus are
the most humbling people on this earth. If you just look into their eyes
you will see someone so pure and free from worldly "I-ness and mine-ness".
Look at our beloved Bapa, for example on the day that he became the
president of a huge sanstha he sits in the corner and washes the dishes.
As Yogi Bapa always says " Dasna Das rehvana", to live as the servant of a
servant. Its these prasangs that make us so humbled... Jai

Yogi Bapa always tried to do seva. At times we also do ignore seva.
There was a prasang with Bapa. At a mandir he was passing by the bathroom
when he saw the bathroom was dirty. So he went in and cleaned the
bathroom. Everyone thought he went to the bathroom. So next time I am not
going to ignore SEVA.

from the incident above, i learned that yogi bapa wasn't just a saint,
he was a swayamsevak. he wanted to be like everyone else, himself. he
didn't just order people to do things for him. even though he was a great
saint, he still does things for other people like in the story above.
that's the inspiration i got from the incident.

To me it means that we should always act as a swayamsevaks
(volunteers) to everyone everywhere. If we do seva then Maharaj and swami
will be proud of us. Even if you are serving a sick person or a healthy
person you should always serve everyone in every way. "JAY
SWAMINARAYAN"

i had learned that yogi bapa does not care about if hes a higher
person, he is just like other sevaks,so he wants to do seva with the other
sevaks ,that means that he loves his sevaks alot and loves to do
seva.

Jai Swaminarayan, Well, I saw that Yogiji Maharaj had started washing
clothes of haribhaktos because he found that was easy. And he didn't want
that mess around there for some couple of days or weeks to wait for the
servant to wash that. So, I think seva karvi e to bahu motu bhagya(luck)
chhe. If it is in your hand you have a key to the world. So, never be
afraid or fell something to do any type of seva.
