INSTRUCTIONS TO DISCIPLES

Swami Sivananda

Guru is dispeller of ignorance from the mind of the disciple. Just as service done to Guru purifies the heart of the disciple, so also faith in him opens the portals of the mind for the entrance of the divine light. Even greater than a mother′s love for her own child, is the love of the Guru for the disciple. The Guru teaches through personal example. Learn it and act wisely. The day-to-day conduct of the Guru is a living ideal to the disciple, who is observant. The life of the Guru is a living sermon to the sincere disciple. The form of the Guru is the root of Dhyana, the lotus-feet of the Guru is the root of Pooja, the word of the Guru is the root of Mantras, and the grace of the Guru is the root of salvation.


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 service of the Guru is not an old-fashioned system, and it is indeed the system that will prevail and work even today, and it has to work for all time; because the Guru is not to be regarded as a person, though for all outward vision the Guru may look like any person.
