Doing good to others is the highest religion. Do some selfless service for a few hours every week, without egoism or expectation of reward. Do your worldly duties in the same spirit. Work is worship. Dedicate it to God. Give 2 to 10% of your income in charity every month. Share what you have with others. Let the world be your family. Remove selfishness. Be humble and prostrate to all beings mentally. Feel the Divine Presence everywhere. Give up vanity, pride and hypocrisy. Have unwavering faith in God, holy scriptures and in your preceptor. Make a total self-surrender to God and pray: "Thy will be done; I want nothing." Submit to the Divine Will in all events with equanimity. See God in all beings and love them as your Self. Do not hate anyone. Remember God at all times, or at least on rising from bed, during a pause in work, and before going to bed. Keep a rosary in your pocket.
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
Japa sadhana should not become the movement of a machine. It should be the soul in action.
