ERADICATE VICES

Swami Sivananda

Prosperity is not for the jealous. Dignity is not for men of ill-conduct. Greed makes the hoarder of wealth thin and fattens the man who will inherit his wealth, who is praying for the early death of the hoarder of wealth. You do not gain anything by speaking ill of others. You only injure yourself. Attachment and hatred arise out of the sense of duality. Remove identification with the body.

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

Svadhyaya is not ordinary reading as you do at random in a library. Svadhyaya is concentrated study. However much you may try to escape concentration, you cannot escape it.
