To be honest, it doesn't seem like you know much about the Sivananda Organization, especially that it is a non-for-profit organization. Their classes and workshops are perhaps the most affordable available these days and are taught by staff of volunteers. It's a great organization, but even the for profit orgs like Bikram provide a service for people. I would rather people spend their money on something that leads to a greater sense of well-being than some transient materialistic indulgence.

I went to a Positive Thinking workshop at a Sivananda center, and it changed my life. I used to be a such a negative, pessimistic person, but I now am full of cheerfulness and optimism. I go back every year, whenever I can.

When I passed the Sivananda Ashram around 8 p.m., I saw poor people sleeping outside. If his holiness Sivananda Ji was materially alive today, those poor people would have got shelter and food. Now the same institution has been occupied by dollar hungry satans. Noone is going to get emancipation by circus hatha yogic practices. Ignorant people are being duped of their money and time. Only way to liberation is Bhakti yoga. Hatha yoga is good only for beautification of the gross body. OM

this looks like fun although I cant help but thinking how these indian yogis are making millions off naive westerners. It's like mass production of sivanada yogis. hey but to each their own!

The great Swami Sivananda and his superior disciple Vishnu-Devananda would not want their names associated with the bizarre and corrupt cult the organization bearing their names and likenesses has become. Within ten years of Swami Vishnu's death, the governing board and senior staff were supplanted by power-hungry frauds. The ranks are full of those wishing a free ride, hiding from tax authorities, seeking a US visa, or seeing an easy climb one easy rung to the next to where they can embezzle.
