Hinduism - A way of Life - Service

What gives inner pleasure?  We might not have thought about it.   We feel an untold peace/happiness when we do something good for someone whom we don't even know.   As per Hindu dharma shastras which I learnt from Periva.org, each individual person is supposed to serve their community for its prosperity personally.  According to Maha Periva (He was the Jagat Guru of Kanchi kamakoti Peedham), we should spend atleast 2 hrs every week on public service.   I never realized till I read that till about an year ago.   Reading/hearing spiritual thing does make a difference.   There are so many choices that we can choose from to lend our time for a good cause:

1.  Clean/Serve at your local temple
2.   Teach divine hymns/bajans
3.  Serve un-previliged children or old age people
4.  Go to local school/Ashram and find out if they need any help
5.  Teach maids
6.  Keep your environment clean with the help of others (removal of garbage)
7.  Prepare and serve food to hungry people

Imagine how peaceful our community would be if all of us lend our hand.   I know all of us are extremely busy on this techie world where we have machine/tool for everything.   It is our core responsibility to spare some time out for the world that we live on.   Let us set an example for the following generation.

I am not asked by anyone to post this.  It is just my opinion.
