In this lecture via chant to the melody of Jaya Ganesha, Swami Sivananda lists fetters, or things that bind or chain you to this life. He makes the point over and over again that it is not the things, but the desires, that are the real fetters. Know this point well, he says.

Swami Sivananda identifies attributes of the attributeless Brahman, to help our finite minds understand that which can’t be defined in words. He says there is only one God, nameless, formless, Satchidananda, self-luminous, self-contained, Self-Knowledge, light of all lights, sun of all suns, lotus of the heart, and many more.

A mother and her child have a beautiful discussion about going to Rishikesh to see Swami Sivananda and sing in his ashram. The recording is a biography of Swami Sivananda’s life, telling in detail how he is the greatest saint alive, where he was born, about his childhood and family. It goes on to talk about how he was a devoted and kind-hearted doctor in Malaya, serving the poor, when he realized he could not live without God-consciousness. So Swami Sivananda left for India and depended upon God totally. Filled with intense devotion he later left for Rishikesh where he received sannyas from Swami Vishwananda. Swami Sivananda then did intense tapas and eventually started the Divine Life Society which is open to ALL. Please listen to the video for more details about his extraordinary life.
