BEWARE OF THESE THINGS

Swami Sivananda

The real enemies are egoism, pride, lust, anger, avarice, infatuation and selfishness. Beware. Beware. The dacoits of anger, lust, greed are after you. Fame, power, wealth and sex are the four doors to the fort of self-degeneration and imprisonment. These four are to be carefully abandoned. Every thought which is not absolutely pure and unselfish shuts you off from God. Luxury is a curse. It will weaken you. Never drink liquor, because it is the root of all evil. Smoking is a greater curse than drink. Give up smoking at once, from today. Materialism and immorality, worldliness and bad conduct are enemies of the unity of Existence.


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

Ignorance is the root-cause of this revolving cycle of births and deaths. Knowledge of Atman alone is capable of destroying ignorance.
