Liberation is identical with attainment of Atma-jnana or Self-knowledge. The identity of Brahman and Jiva-Atman is attained by those who realize nirguna Brahman, Reality without name and form. Liberation means cessation of and release from the round of rebirth. Moksha is not only cessation of sorrow and pain but also attainment of positive bliss. Moksha is the fruit of vedanta, and that is Eternal. It cannot be the fruit of action. Whatever is accomplished through action, perishes. Self-realisation is a living direct experience. Self-realization bestows fullness, wisdom and everlasting peace and liberates one from the cycle of miseries.

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

The unconscious urge of the lower to realise the higher is evolution. When it is consciously manoeuvred, the process is called yoga. Unconscious movement towards the higher is evolution; conscious movement towards the higher is yoga.
