The Shri Ram Seva Trust is a service-based group that offers free living space, healthy meals, spiritual activities,
and traditional education to monks. This paper highlights the work of the Trust, its positive impact on the lives of monks,
and its role in the wider community. It explains how the Trust brings together ancient Indian values like the Gurukul system
and meditation to help people today. Using interviews, observation, and available records, this study shows that the Trust is
a strong example of service based on tradition.
