Adversity is a Key that opens the gate to eternal bliss. Be strong. Be courageous. Fear nothing. Nothing can obstruct thee. March. March forward, Oh hero, and find thy rest in the Supreme Soul. March fearlessly in the path of spirituality. Nothing is lost when, the candle burns. No spiritual effort goes in vain. The initial stages in Sadhana will be one of ups and downs. Obstacles and unfavourable circumstances are God-sent chances to make you more steady and strong in will. The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. Self-realisation demands very great struggle. You say your life has been one of suffering. Think of Prahlada. Think of Dhruva. Draw inspiration from them, and be calm and unperturbed. Face the worst bravely. Fight for the best boldly.
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
Death is not the problem; rebirth is the problem. So, the most important thing to insure against is rebirth. Make sure that you will not have rebirth.
