Sex-energy or lust is the most deep-rooted instinct in man. Sex-energy entirely fills the mind, intellect, senses and the whole body. It is the oldest of factors that have gone into the constitution of man. Perfect control of sex-instinct can only be achieved by the attainment of steadiness in body and mind, active introspection, strict adherence to a life of virtue, and vigilant efforts at self-reformation and self-restraint. Keeping the mind constantly engaged in something good and interesting is one of the secrets of continence. Through the practice of continence to perfection one attains Divine Illumination. Concentration and meditation are possible only when perfection is attained in the practice of these virtues.
Caution: Fraudulent Website
This is to caution all the devotees of Gurudev that some fraudsters have launched a website impersonating the official website of The Divine Life Society, in order to mislead the public and collect money in the name of booking rooms, joining Yoga Courses, etc. Devotees are advised to beware of the fake website with the address https://sivanandaashram.co.in/, email Id info@sivanandaashram.co.in & phone number 9668461538 and take necessary precautions from falling prey to such scammers. It has never been a practice of the Ashram to let the devotees book rooms or register for Yoga Courses through phone or Whatsapp.
Those who are devoted to the Ashram and Gurudev know very well that the Ashram does not charge anything for any Seva at the Ashram. Please take note that the official websites of The Divine Life Society are https://www.sivanandaonline.org and https://www.dlshq.org, email Ids are generalsecretary@sivanandaonline.org and gs@sivanandaonline.org and the online donation portal is https://donations.sivanandaonline.org
If there is dull uniformity in this World the world will be a prison-house without any charm or attraction.
