Hindu Heritage Summer Camp

India Community Center, Rochester, NY

Karma Yoga Scholars (KYS)

"Perform service for others without expecting anything in return."

About the Program

Karma Yoga is one of the four pathways to reach salvation as recognized in the Bhagavad Gita. It is a pathway of selfless service in which one performs service for others without expecting anything in return. Through engaging in practical and theoretical study of karma yoga, KYS participants grow to appreciate the value of selfless service:

Service

Engaging in selfless service to the camp, such as washing dishes, setting up for meals, and maintaining the India Community Center.

Leadership

Planning and executing camp events such as Brother-Sister Day, Twin Day, and the dance party.

Education

Learning, discussing, and debating the philosophy behind Karma Yoga.

Some groups have volunteered in the greater Rochester community at the American Red Cross, The Ronald McDonald House, CP Rochester or Foodlink to name a few.
