Yoga, Vedanta, Dharma, Meditation

Divine Life Society USA

A home dedicated to the universal teachings of Swami Sivananda: serve, love, give, purify, meditate, and realize.

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

Practical Spiritual Living

01

Yoga

A disciplined way of integrating body, breath, mind, and spirit into a life of balance, clarity, and devotion.

02

Vedanta

The wisdom tradition that points the seeker toward direct knowledge of the Self and the unity behind all life.

03

Dharma

Living with integrity, compassion, self-restraint, and service in the circumstances of everyday life.

Daily Discipline

Meditation and Service

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

In the Spirit of Swami Sivananda

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.
