Pujya Swamiji composed the AIMS
theme song titled ' भारत
देश हिताय...' ( Bhaarata
desha hitaaya..., for the welfare of Bhaarata, India) , a
song in simple sanskrit based on hindustani raaga ' देश' (raaga
‘desh’ ) which beautifully captures the spirit of seva. And this
is the content of the theme song for the movement ' Aim for Seva'.
Pujya Swamiji: " This is an all India Movement for Seva. Every indian should have this awareness of taking care of the people of this country who are isolated and alienated from the mainstream of the society. The people of the country should take care of the people.
Bharata, Rama’s brother was
given the kingdom but he refused. On the insistence of Rama, he ruled the
kingdom until Rama returned but purely as a seva to Rama.So Bharata stands for
that seva. Not only Rama’s brother there are other Bharatas like the Bharata
of Natyashastra, Bharata the king and Jadabharata – a great sage.
All these people besides Panini and others have served this country enrichening
its culture and its religion.
Do what you can do to help protect the
people living in the remote mountains and dense forests – from Setu (
Rameshwaram in the south) to Himalayas in the north, in the entire country.
Their culture, health, longevity, environment - everything is to be protected.
There should be social justice, economic
justice, law and order. People respect law and order. Do what you can do to
bring about that kind of society by removing the economic poverty and poverty
in thinking. How can one do that?
By Subhiksha(सुभिक्षा ) alone.
The word ‘Subhiksha’ (सुभिक्षा ) is generally translated as prosperity. But what is prosperity? Where is the limit? The person who is a recipient should be able to help. When a consumer is able to contribute – then that is called Subhiksha (सुभिक्षा ). Everybody is a consumer. When a consumer besides being just a consumer is able to contribute more than what he consumes – there is Subhiksha.

Thus people should be able to sustain
themselves and help others.There are people who are in a condition where
they need help. There are people who are not just poor but who are poor in
thinking .There are others who require support emotionally.
Therefore wherever there is a necessity to
extend a helping hand to somebody one has to do that. We try to pull
them up from the place they are in now. Once they are up, they will be
able to help others. Wherever they are -in urban areas or rural
areas.There are helpless people all over the world. First we take care of
ourpeople here in this country. , then if we achieve the Subhiksha we
can help others too. We have no boundaries. In seva there are no
boundaries.
That awareness is to be brought
about.
