SPIRITUALITY—THE BASIS OF REAL CIVILIZATION

Swami Sivananda

Not matter, but Spirit is the essential requisite. Spirit should direct matter. Mere national gains and possessions will not give real and abiding peace or happiness to human beings if they are devoid of moral and spiritual values. The greater the possession of riches by people, the more is their moral turpitude. The possession of riches is a hindrance to real growth.

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 Bhagavadgita which will pointedly remind you of the fact of the glory of God, the power of God, the knowledge of God, and the capacity of God. The beauty of God, the grandeur of God, the magnificence of God.
