DHARMA-YOUR LIFE'S GUIDE

Swami Sivananda

Dharma is a guide to the individual's conscience in order to train him to attain God-realization. All your actions should be directed towards dharma or righteousness. Dharma means religion. God is dharma or religion itself. Possession of dharma (righteousness) distinguishes man from animal. Without dharma man is on a par with the animal. Neither for satisfying lust nor out of fear or greed should one give up dharma or duty even for saving one's life. Dharma is something which can hold you till eternity. Dharma disciplines a man.

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 invocation of the deity is done through a mantra, and the japa of a mantra is, therefore, very necessary and very helpful in meditation. You cannot meditate directly because the mind cannot conceive the Godhead, so you take to japa.
