THE GREAT LIBERATION

Swami Sivananda

Those who do upasana or worship go to Brahma-Loka with a divine being as a guide. Those who meditate on material symbols (pratima) cannot go there. The devotee who goes by devayana to paradise or Brahmaloka attains only krama-mukti (gradual liberation) and will get total liberation when the Karya Brahman is absorbed in Para Brahman. The soul of the devotee goes out of his body on death by the path of the rayi (archiradi marga) to Brahmaloka or the abode of Brahma. He goes to the abode of Vayu, to God of wind, after going to the abode of the God of Abda (year). He goes to the world of Varuna, the God of water after going to the world of (tadit) lightning. From the world of lightning a divine guide (amanava purusha) accompanies him through Varunaloka and Indraloka to Brahmaloka.


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

Where there is not the awareness of being eternally related to God there is always fear, diffidence and a feeling of inadequacy.
