DEVOTION

Swami Sivananda

Purity of mind cannot be obtained without devotion to the Lord. Intense love for the Lord is real devotion. Divine love is the result of the conquest of the lower self. The whole being of man should be surrendered to the Lord without reservation. Then alone his whole life will undergo wonderful transformation. Desire and egoism are the two chief obstacles that stand in the way of self-surrender. Kill them ruthlessly. Eka Bhakti is unswerving, single-minded devotion to the Lord, which is a fundamental requisite on the path of Sadhana. Whatever else a man may do or may not do, he attains salvation by Japa or silent repetition of the Mantra or the Lord's Name constantly. In some, inner purification by Japa is achieved in ten years, in others in several births. Devotion to the Lord and Japa should be inseparable. When Japa is done without intense feeling of the awareness of the Lord, the result is very slight.


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

We do meditation in the morning and evening but during our activities and dealings with others during the day, we show petty-mindedness and selfishness. That obstructs our Sadhana and nullifies the benefits of our meditation.
