ABSTINENCE

Swami Sivananda

Abstinence is abstaining or refraining especially from some indulgence. Abstinence is temperance. Abstinence is refraining from the use of intoxicating drinks, self-denial, self-restraint, and abstaining from sexual indulgence and over-eating. Abstinence is continued temperance which gives longevity, good health, and keeps the body free from diseases. Abstinence is a discipline which gives dispassion and helps the aspirant to march forward in the spiritual path. The aim of abstinence is to set the mind above the lower appetites. Drunkenness, excess, gluttony, greed, intemperance, intoxication, revelling, self-indulgence, sensuality and wantonness, are the opposites of abstinence. Abstemiousness, continence, fasting, moderation, self-control are synonymous with abstinence.


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

To be like God is your main mission in life. He has sent you to this earth so that you might shine like Him.
