O TRAVELLER, LISTEN

Swami Sivananda

The world is not bad by itself, but your excessive desire to get what you cannot get from it, and thoughtless, slavish attachment to it, make it appear bad and cause hindrance to your spiritual progress. God-realization is the crown of human achievement. You are born to realise God. God alone is the only real entity. Everything else is of momentary, secondary value. God is your ultimate Guru in the temple of your heart. As scent is in the flower, as prana is in the body, as light is in the sun, so also the Divine is within you. Seek your freedom and salvation in the Divine within yourself. Arise, awake, stand up, march forward, reach the goal, and rest peacefully in your essential divine nature.


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

This invocation through calling out the name of God is what is called the utterance of the mantra. The mantra is a symbol of the name of the deity on which you are meditating. You are unable to conceive it directly, so you are calling out its name again and again, again and again, so that the name will subtly connect itself with the form of the deity. The name and the form are connected.
