WHO IS A GURU

Swami Sivananda

He who initiates Mantra is Diksha Guru or initiatory Guru. He who teaches the various forms of Sadhana and Yoga is Siksha Guru, or the teaching Guru. Of these two, he is the Supreme Guru, from whom the great Mantra of Ishtadevata has been heard and learnt, and by him alone Siddhis can be attained. He who is pure in thought, word and deed, who has mastery over the senses, who has knowledge of the scriptures, who is truthful, serene, and who has God-realization, is a Guru. Let each man take the path according to his capacity, temperament and understanding. His Sat Guru will meet him along that path. A man of bad character cannot be a Guru. I always bow down to the lotus-feet of my Guru or Preceptor, by whose grace I have known for ever that "I am Brahman" and that the whole of the phenomenal universe is superimposed on me like the snake in the rope.


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 relationship between the Guru and the disciple is not physical, social or personal but spiritual and, so, eternal, till the salvation of the disciple.
