METHODS OF SEVA

Swami Sivananda

Serve any social institution for one hour daily without any remuneration. Collect some old clothes and distribute them to the needy. Wash the clothes of your parents, elders, the sick and Mahatmas. Pocket insults when offered. Distribute a few pies to the lame, blind and to the hungry mouths as you walk along the street. Meet your friends and the members of your society in a common place once a week or a fortnight for Satsang and Kirtan. Finally, think for yourself, how best you can utilise your energy, your intellect, your education, your wealth, your strength or anything you possess, for the betterment of others, who are low placed in life and for the society in general.


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

Satsanga, svadhyaya, japa and dhyana or meditation — these are the principal items of spiritual practice. And an inward silent prayer to the Almighty to bless you with that intelligence and strength necessary to maintain the spirit is also a part of sadhana. Remember that a heartfelt, soul-felt prayer rising from the bottom of your being will be answered.
