If you've ever visited a gurduara (Sikh place of learning), you might have wondered about certain things, such as the abundance of food (langar) being prepared and the diverse group of people engaging in seva (service). This leads us to Mata Khivi Ji, who believed that Vahiguru is present in everyone around us. She led the langar seva, from growing vegetables to cooking and serving food to cleaning the kitchen. In Mata Khivi Ji's example, Seva becomes a delightful celebration of cooperation, love, and community-building.
