Yoga, Vedanta, Dharma, Meditation

The Divine Life Society was founded by His Holiness Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj in 1936 to share the knowledge of Yoga, Vedanta, and Dharma. This site carries forward that quiet purpose for seekers in the United States and beyond.
The Path
A disciplined way of integrating body, breath, mind, and spirit into a life of balance, clarity, and devotion.
The wisdom tradition that points the seeker toward direct knowledge of the Self and the unity behind all life.
Living with integrity, compassion, self-restraint, and service in the circumstances of everyday life.
Daily Discipline
Spiritual life is built through steady practice: meditation, prayer, study, selfless action, and kindness. The DLSUSA presence is intentionally simple so attention stays with the teachings and the inward work they support.
Lineage
Swami Sivananda taught a spiritual life that is generous, disciplined, inclusive, and practical. His message remains direct: cultivate purity of heart, serve others, and realize the Divine presence within.
Serve. Love. Give. Purify. Meditate. Realize.
Swami Sivananda
Living the Ideal
The teachings invite steady practice in every circumstance: a calm mind, an open heart, disciplined action, and reverence for the Divine presence in all.
