IMPORTANCE OF CONTINENCE

Swami Sivananda

Lust ruins life, lustre, strength, vitality, memory, wealth, fame, holiness, peace, wisdom and devotion. Therefore, slay this lust. There is no half-measure in the spiritual path. Perfect Brahmacharya is necessary for the attainment of Self-realization. There is no "by and by," "little by little," "gradually," or "tomorrow" for a thirsting aspirant of the first-class type. These expressions delude the aspirant. That tomorrow will never come. Do it now, this very second! The illusory pleasure derived from sex-gratification is only a mere nervous sensation. A person who is a victim of lust soon finds himself in a helpless condition.


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

In all actions, keep an unbroken current of God-remembrance. Then, work becomes Yoga and worship.
