SPIRITUAL LIFE

Swami Sivananda

Dispassion and faith are pre-requisites for spiritual Sadhana. Without renunciation no spiritual progress is ever possible. Renunciation is wisdom. Cowards are not fit to take to the life of renunciation. Renunciation is very difficult. Very few renounce. Internal renunciation is absolutely necessary, and external renunciation is also beneficial and necessary. An aspirant must have purity of mind, a real thirst for knowledge, and perserverance.

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

Meditation is not meant only for monks and nuns, or only for people in monasteries or ashrams. It is for every person in the world, whoever wants to be worthwhile. Otherwise, you are a worthless being. You are living like a fool if you do not understand this great truth. What is the good of living in this world like a fool, without knowing the truth of things?
