RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY

Swami Sivananda

Religion comprises ethics, spiritual culture. social codes discipline, enrichment of the inner life and Self-realization. True religion is to see the one Lord in the whole world. The essence of religion is a life of goodness, purity devotion, service, sacrifice and meditation. Religious bigotry and fanaticism has to be abandoned if man is to live as a man and not step into his lower nature. Do not confound religion with a creed, sect and ritual. Real religion is Self-realization. Different creeds are but different paths to reach God. In spite of differences in doctrines and worship, there is an ultimate and profound unity in all religions. Religious life frees man from all narrow ness of vision and his heart expands to embrace all and exclude none.


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

We have an idea that we are inside the world and the world is outside us, but it is not true. We are neither inside the world, nor is the world outside us. They are inseparable. We and the world are inseparable. Just as our hand, is not inside the body or outside the body, it is inseparable from the body.
