About Us
SEVAK (Society for Establishing Vishwa as A Kutumba) is a special task force to serve fellow beings and to create a healthy and peaceful world, which lives together as one loving caring family.
The society has been formed by people who have experienced contentment in themselves and trained to create a healthy, harmonious and peaceful life by the grace of Beloved Sri Acharya Vinay Vinekar, who is also the founder of SEVAK.
We carry out a mission that the greatest leaders of all times, like the Christ, Mohammed, Krishna, Buddha, Mahavira set forth in their lives – the mission of creating a world of universal love and brotherhood, a world which lives like one caring family. It is for us to restore confidence and show the efficacy of the wholesome qualities in each individual and help them so as to create an environment of freedom.
As a SEVAK, one is dedicated to promote Peace, Love and Universal Brotherhood amongst all beings so that one brings forth one’s true leadership qualities.
SEVAK literally means “The one who serves selflessly” in Sanskrit. Our theme is ‘One World One Family’. Beloved Acharya Vinay Vinekar through his mission made the SEVAKS to experience that:
Freedom in Life…
- Is about “Let it be” than “Make it be”
- Is about blossoming by offering rather than withering through demanding
- Is about Inclusion instead of Exclusion
- Is about loving universally instead of grabbing personally
We SEVAKS have experienced that all human beings and other living beings are one. Every person, at whatever professional level performs actions as an opportunity to serve the brothers and sisters of the world family. With the inclusion of not only human beings but also animal and plant life and with the realization of one’s absolute responsibilities for all beings, life on earth will still be present for our children and grandchildren.
Each SEVAK member is free to practice his own prayer and ceremony according to the member’s own tradition, read any holy books like the Koran and the Bible, the Vedas and the Upanishads, the Dhamma and hundreds of other sacred books of all traditions and to be part of all, in hope of building harmony on earth, while fully appreciating the feelings and sentiments of the fellow members of the World Family.
All of us face different problems but we have only one world. We can utilize all resources for the community and for betterment of the society. We have seen that the world is divided in the name of religion, caste, and creed. One man’s food has become another man’s poison. Wrongful use of resources in one region is causing devastating effect in other regions.
We have to realize, that the day is not far when all the people of world have to come together and form a code of conduct in order to save the entire planet from devastation and destruction. Therefore the seed of togetherness has to be sown some where.
With this realization we have formed this theme “One World One Family” and started our society in order to make all people realize that all living beings on Earth are one and they should support each other as one loving family, forgetting all differences of castes, religion etc.,
