FREEDOM FROM SUFFERING AND BONDAGE

Swami Sivananda

Nowhere can be found real happiness. Nowhere is a state ever-enduring. Real happiness, that is perennial, can be found only through Self-realization. The state of Self-realization alone is ever enduring. Even if you possess all the riches of the world, and wallow in all the pleasures of the world, your soul can have no real sense of fulfilment. There will still be a strange vacuum within. Self-realization alone can fill this. Children are dearer than wealth; one's own body is dearer than children: senses are dearer than the body; prana is dearer than the senses. Atman is dearer than the prana. Atman is the dearest of all. Give up all false notions. Seek the Real. Find the Real. All worldly values should be subservient to spiritual values.


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

Divinity is the one key word. One practice that ultimately makes jnana and dhyana fruitful is the divinising of one’s life—to be compassionate, merciful, forgiving, kind, to have consideration for others, to be good and to do good.
