Sivananda Yoga Centre Chennai

Sivananda Yoga Centre Chennai "Health is wealth, Peace of mind is happiness, Yoga shows the way." Swami Vishnudevanand The mission - to spread peace, health and joy through yoga.

The International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres is a non-profit organization named after Swami Sivananda, one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the 20th century and founded by his disciple Swami Vishnudevananda. All are welcome to come to our ashrams and centres to learn not only about how yoga can help maintain a healthy body but also how yogic philosophy, applied in daily life, can

help maintain a peaceful mind and spirit. In 1957, Swami Vishnudevananda on instructions from his guru, Swami Sivananda, came to the West to bring the teachings of yoga. He established the first Sivananda Yoga Vedanta centre in Montreal, Canada, in 1959 and to date there are close to 60 Sivananda locations (ashrams, yoga centres and affiliated centres) around the world. Over 26,000 teachers have been trained in the TTC programs. The Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashrams and Centres are recognized worldwide for teaching yoga authentically, preserving its purity and tradition dating back several thousand years. They also offer a wide range of programs and even the possibility for spiritual growth through Karma yoga as a temporary or full time staff program participant. Swami Vishnudevananda made the yogic teachings understandable and available to all by simplifying them into five points, showing specific ways to develop physical and mental health as well as spiritual growth through ~ Proper Exercise (Asanas), Proper Breathing (Pranayama), Proper Relaxation (Savasana), Proper Diet (vegetarian), Positive Thinking (Vedanta) and Meditation (Dhyana). Together with Swami Sivananda's revival of the yoga of synthesis tradition, which integrates the four paths of Yoga (Karma, Bhakti, Raja, Jnana), a well-balanced Sadhana (spiritual discipline) is achievable by those sincerely seeking for a change in their lives.

🕊️ Monday Reflection | Ahimsa

“The first step in the regeneration and divinisation of man is Ahimsa.” — Swami Sivananda

Every act of non-violence begins in the mind. When our thoughts become pure, our words become gentle, and our actions naturally express compassion.

The practice of Ahimsa is not limited to avoiding harm, it is a conscious way of living that nurtures peace within ourselves and in the world around us. As we begin this new week, let us strive to cultivate kindness, patience, and understanding in every interaction.

🕉️ Health is Wealth. Peace of Mind is Happiness. Yoga Shows the Way.

🧘‍♂️ Why Meditate?

We spend much of our lives searching outward for answers, while the deepest truths lie within.

Meditation is the practice of observing the mind, turning inward, and discovering the quiet wisdom that is always present beneath the noise of daily life.

“The meaning of life is found by diving deep, deep within.”

📖 Inspired by Meditation and Mantras by Swami Vishnudevananda.
