BEWARE OF OBSTACLES

Swami Sivananda

A little neglect brings great trouble. For want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; for want of a horse the rider was lost; for want of a rider the message to battle was lost; for want of a battle the kingdom was lost and all for want of a horse-shoe nail. Even so if you neglect yama-niyama, you cannot have concentration. If you have no concentration, you cannot have meditation. If you have no meditation, you cannot have samadhi or superconscious state. 83. Introspect. You will know what virtues you lack and what evils lurk within yourself.


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

Talk a little. Be a man of measured words. And, speak sweetly. Your speech should be pleasing to everybody. If you conserve the energy you waste in unnecessary talks, you will be able to meditate more.
