| Since its inception Sivananda Math has
facilitated the growth of the weaker and deprived sections of society,
especially focusing on Rikhia Panchayat, in the remote areas of Santhal
Parganas of Jharkhand district, so that what was once a deprived,
desolate panchayat, now flourishes with vitality and prosperity.
Sivananda Math aims to uplift the impoverished in rural and underdeveloped
areas, not by creating a culture of dependency, but by fostering
peace, health, plenty and prosperity, and above all, self-sufficiency
for one and all. The activities are not rendered as charity, rather
as an aradhana or worship of God in human form based upon the highest
vedantic teachings of atmabhava. The selfless service offered is
an expression of the spiritual precepts of Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati
whose central teachings of "Serve, love and give", were
bestowed by Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati as the foundation of
all activities at Rikhiapeeth.
