thank you for sharing this..i have spent time at the sivananda ashram in woodbourne NY and have such beautiful memories, this took me right back! thank you again so very much.
Kind of like that old recording of dogs barking Jingle Bells. What's frightening is not the hilarious ineptitude of the performance, but the absolute arrogance and over-confidence and beaming pride in its presentation. Not to mention the pretentious indication of piety. This is high kitsch.
What is this cacophony? Arhythmic, atonal, no attempt at proper pronunciation. Neither western nor Indian nor musical in the least, nor in any way devotional. Nothing but pretentiousness. My ears are bleeding.
@mevaishnavi Teaching generations that this is an example to follow is heinous. Praising the divine does not sound like this noise after decades of practice by a master. This is a confused poser.
Respect and souvenirs. I went in Rishikesh 2 days after Indira Gandhi's murder ; here and there in India, violence burnt between Sikhs and Hindus. But DLS (Shivananda Ashram) sang through its loudspeakers : "Om Guru Nanak !". I'll never forget it.
sometime i think that silence is also hindu:)we are all worshipers of hindus, we think that this hindu old fashioned gurus worship is the thing that we must repeat and repeat.i am sure we are mislead:).silence is not hindu so let all this huge worshiping be there were it is rooted in india.

the hare krishna chant was sivananda's favorite chant.. note that is before the hare krishna movement started in the usa.
Sivananda's teachings have been with me daily since 1962.
today change your self toward true happiness

I like it. Greetings from Germany. I have been in Canada 1993 and live now since 22 years as a yogi in a wood near Hamburg.

Thank you so much! I was looking for this.
I went there about 2 and half years ago.
Now I'm wondering whether he is still staying in the ashram.
I really hope I will see him again.

It appears to be the ashram in Woodbourne, NY rather than the one in Canada.
