Business Description
The simple words, “Serve, love, give, purify, meditate and realise” became the watchwords of Swami Sivananda’s Divine Life Society, encapsuling the entire corpus of Vedantic tradition. “Meditation will come by itself …,” he would say. “What is essential is to purify the inner consciousness first, and a prerequisite to that is to serve first.”
His concept of the divine life revolved around a strong ethical base, without which meditation would be limited to being a superficial exercise. This emphasis on the development of an ethical culture as an essential stepping stone towards understanding of the inner Self, translated itself into passionate social service. This, Sivananda believed, would ensure a sense of vairagya in the aspirant, awakening him to a different dimension of reality, wherein the suffering of the less fortunate would propel him faster to his spiritual goals.
The passion to serve manifested itself further in his efforts to disseminate knowledge to all through his writings. Sivananda wrote pamphlets, monographs, booklets, letters, books and bhasyas, flowing from his practical and simple approach to life, conveying great spiritual truths with simplicity. His interpretation of ancient texts always prodded one to practice, which alone makes those truths come alive for a sadhaka.
His teachings were aimed at intense self-effort, which he felt to be the key to success in all endeavours, spiritual or otherwise. His unique DIN (Do it now) principle exemplified his focused and pragmatic approach to spirituality and life, both.
