In October of 2005, I wrote a short profile of my friends Jayesh and Anar Patel, husband-and-wife and two-thirds of the founding triumvirate of the extraordinary Ahmedabad-based NGO, Manav Sadhna. Two years later, that small essay has received nearly 400 viewings and still averages nearly three hits per week.
Small wonder. Jayesh-bhai and Anar-ben are perhaps the loveliest, most optimistic, and broadly inspiring people I know. This is no small distinction, given that I am in the habit of collecting friends who answer to the general description “lovely, optimistic, and inspiring.”
Now, a group of filmmakers calling themselves the “Global Oneness Project” have created a beautiful portrait of Jayesh-bhai and his philosophy in a new video called “Living Service.”
If you think that living a life of service is a complicated undertaking, or that it involves subtleties and rigors that make it difficult to work into your fast-paced, 21st Century routines, Jayesh-bhai’s radiant, simple explications will set you straight. Congratulations to the Global Oneness Project for helping to bring the message of Manav Sadhna to the wider world.
