SPIRITUALITY—THE BASIS OF REAL CIVILIZATION

Swami Sivananda

Material wealth is necessary for the good of the people. It is only the craving for material enjoyment to the detriment of spiritual values that is denied. The science of heart is more important than the science of the mind. Material progress has blinded man to the vision of God. Science cannot dispense with spiritual values. Science, Economics and politics will lead mankind to ruin unless guided and guarded by spiritual values. Man acquires too much worldly knowledge as to make himself an ignorant fool. The more civilization advances, the more complex our lives become. Mundane, materialistic life causes restless ness, discontent dissatisfaction. There is always a sense of want.

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

Prayer produces astounding results. It leads to communion with the Lord. It opens the avenue to the supreme Good. It is a spiritual force that brings prosperity to man and removes all obstacles, difficulties and diseases. This is not an assumption. It is as true as five plus five equals ten.
