The Philosophy of Service,  contains two talks by Swami Ranganathananda delivered in 1968 and 1977. The text explores human development within India's post-independence social and economic landscape, specifically focusing on the working class.

The core message advocates for service as the highest form of human interaction. This philosophy is rooted in "man-making"—a process that awakens the inherent dignity and divinity within every individual, regardless of their economic or intellectual standing. The author argues that India’s future glory depends on increasing the number of such "dignified" citizens. Ultimately, the work serves as an urgent call to uplift humanity and usher in a new era of social and spiritual excellence.
