CULTURAL ATLAS / INDIAN PATHS

Dāna, sevā and action without attachment.

Indian traditions have rich and varied languages for generosity, service and ethical action. Explore the full teachings on Yoga.org where those pages are actually published.

Under editorial review — community review pending. This page does not duplicate Yoga.org’s canonical guides. Links go only to Yoga.org pages that are published today.

Dāna

Generosity as a practice across Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain settings — not one homogenized ritual. A Buddhist-facing glossary: Tricycle on dāna.

Sevā

Service offered without an invoice. Hindu and Sikh usages differ; langar is a Sikh institution, not a yoga franchise. Sikh sewa, in The Guardian.

Karma yoga

Acting fully, releasing attachment to the fruit. See Yoga.org’s published FAQ and glossary, and Gita 3.19 on the Gita site.
