LIGHT ON VEDANTA

Swami Sivananda

Vedanta upholds the reality of the indivisible, immanent and transcendent Spirit, It does not exclude matter. It does not exclude anything. Vedanta can be practised in all circumstances of life.

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

Your divine destiny is to conquer sorrow, pain and suffering and to ascend to a state of perfect bliss. Mind is the instrument that enables you to overcome all that stands between you and your divine destiny.
