About the Twenty Important Spiritual Instructions:
Swami Sivananda gave us twenty important spiritual instructions for the harmonizing of an active inner spiritual life with an active outer secular life. The instructions give the key to Blessedness even while living in the world and through the world itself.
It is very important to practice these instructions. They pave the way to ultimate perfection in the most practical and secure way. They are the essence of all spiritual Sadhana.
