PURPOSE OF LIFE

Swami Sivananda

Spirituality must be cultivated in the heart of man, the urge springing from the hunger of his soul. It should be a living experience, and not confined to the realm of thought. Spirit of accommodation, adjustment, adaptability should guide your conduct. You can fight against external conflict only after you have attained victory over yourself. Hence it is said: Physician, heal thyself. Reformer, reform thyself. All problems, as far as you are individually concerned, are self-wrought. If you are resolved within, then external problems lose their magnitude. There is nothing which is irredeemable. There is no one who is lost. The sinner is the saint of tomorrow. Accept life as it comes, with right understanding. Accept life in good grace. Live the day well, in active service, humble helpfulness, prayer and meditation. Tomorrow will take care of itself.


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

Ishta Devata, which is a symbol, is the medium of a tremendous invocation that you are performing in your meditation. In one sense, meditation is an invocation. You call the force, and that calling of a force is called invocation.
