| Sivananda Ashram Divine Life Society Rishikesh
The Sivananda Ashram,-the Headquarters of the international
organisation, the Divine Life Society,-is situated in sylvan
surroundings, with multihued hills all around and the beautiful
and holy Ganga flowing majestically by its side. The setting
is so alluring and capturing that all physical and mental
ailments are forgotten for a moment, and there appears to
be a standing invitation by the hills and dales and the sacred
Ganga for periodical visits by people from all countries and
from all strata of society for recoupment and conditioning
of both body and mind. Added to this is the healing balm of
the generous reception accorded by the Ashram to the visitors
from all parts of the world, and to the travelers proceeding
to the sacred Himalayan shrines, viz., Badrinath, Kedarnath,
Gangotri and Yamunotri, who intend to make a brief halt at
the foot of the Himalayas, which takes one to sublime heights
of exhilaration.
Even though the Ashram welcomes anyone at any time, yet, unfortunately
the very pragmatic problem of space and accommodation compels
its management to state frankly that visitors must come for
shorter/longer stay only after writing and obtaining a written
permission in writing.
