PRECEPTS FOR PRACTICE

Swami Sivananda

Self-realization is your birth-right. Satchidananda is your real essential nature. Renunciation is your ornament. Yoga of synthesis is your path. Om is your prop. Dharma is your duty. Pure mind is your preceptor. Discrimination is the seed; dispassion is the rain; serenity is the plough; self-restraint is the rein; renunciation is the handle: concentration is the ox; ploughing is weeding the lust, anger, jealousy, hatred or egoism; the resultant harvest is nirvikalpa samadhi or Self-realization, which ends all sorrows and pains and bestows immortality and eternal bliss.

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

The current of meditation should never be absent from your mind. This inner current of Atma-Chintan should be kept up even when out-going senses are moving amidst the external object.
