BASIS OF YOGA

Swami Sivananda

Ahimsa or non-violence cannot be practised by a man who is terribly afraid of death and has no power of endurance and resistance. Ahimsa is the acme of bravery. Ahimsa is not possible without fearlessness. Ahimsa is the perfection of forgiveness. Ahimsa is also love, courage and selflessness. Cruelty and violence swallow up the love of God. Teach the people love for the helpless animals. Compassion for all is a fundamental virtue. Cultivate it to a maximum degree. Truthfulness is the source of all virtues. No aspirant or seeker can enter the temple of Truth without practising truthfulness. If you are truthful, all the other virtues will come to you in time. Harmlessness, impartiality, self-control, forgiveness endurance are the forms of Truth. Speak the Truth. The Divine path of spirituality will be opened unto you.

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 universal is a great enemy for the individual as long as you think that it is outside. But it is not an enemy; nobody can be a greater friend than that. That is your friend and your enemy. You are inseparable.
