BECOME DESIRELESS

Swami Sivananda

Desire is poverty. Desire is the greatest impurity of the mind. Desire Is the motive force for action. Desire in the mind is the real impurity. Even a spark of desire is a very great evil. Desire rules in a passionate man whose heart is filled with Rajas. He gets bound. He becomes imperfect, and weak. He gets limited. He is ignorant.

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 mind and you — who is leading and who is following? Consider this question. If the mind leads and you follow, then the prospects are not good! You must lead and the mind must follow.
