Global Day of Seva

A Global Day of Compassion, Service, and Upliftment

What Is the Global Day of Seva?

The Global Day of Seva is a worldwide invitation to put our spiritual values into action through selfless service (seva). On this day, individuals, families, gurdwaras, and communities around the world unite to serve, uplift those in need, and strengthen compassionate, equitable local connections.

Our purpose is simple and powerful: to come together for one shared intention—service—and to choose seva projects that can make a meaningful, measurable impact in communities across the globe.

This day is about many hands, one heart.

Our Shared Purpose

  • Bring communities together around one shared intention

  • Strengthen connection through collective action

  • Explore meaningful ways to understand and measure social impact in our communities

Together, we turn values into action—and service into a global expression of unity.
