The Four Sentinels That Guard Doorway To Heaven

The four sentinels that guard the doorway to heaven are:

Shanti (equanimity of mind),

Santosh (contentment),

Satsanga (company of those who tell us the way to Shanti and Santosh) and

Sad-vichar (right enquiry so that we always keep our life flowing in the right direction, keep our thoughts in the right direction.)

Swami Chidananda Saraswati (1916 – 2008) was the president of the Divine Life Society in Rishikesh – associated with the Swami Sivananda Ashram
