HALLMARK OF DISCIPLESHIP

Swami Sivananda

Discipleship is in the heart and in action and not in the lips. You must become low and humble yourself to the dust. You must shed abhimana or attachment and ahankara or egoism. Then alone you are ready for discipleship. Unless the disciple empties himself of all the impurities within, he does not receive the supreme grace of the Guru.

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

Guru is an ocean of bliss, knowledge and mercy. He gives you the rope of knowledge and pulls you up when you are drowning in the ocean of Samsara.
