Selfishness and egoism, lead to suffering, pain, failure and death. Selfishness and craving fatten the ego and thus take you farther from the Divine. Jealousy truly burns the heart. Man feels that he is weak and helpless. Vicious habits, vicious thoughts, vicious desires, constitute his weakness and frustration. Lust, greed and selfishness have drawn man from his true life in the Spirit into the materialistic life. Lust is a persistent disease.
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
"Do your duty, do it as humanly as you can. " This is the primary precept of Jainism. This is really meant for all human beings and therefore is universal.
