VAIRAGYA

Swami Sivananda

The King of England renounced an Empire for the sake of a woman. How much greater renunciation you should have, if you wish to attain God realisation. Renounce the fleeting for attaining the Eternal. The pleasures of the flesh are a snare and a delusion when made the principal object of life. Desire arises only if you see outside objects, other than yourself. O Ram!

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

Let your heart be always filled with compassion towards even the least of God′s creatures — the ants, the flies, the insects even towards the grass under your feet.
