Description
Swami Satyananda Saraswati was bon in a small town near Almora in the foothills of the Himalayas. As a child he showed extraordinary qualities and had his first spiritual experience at the age of six. He was blessed by many sages and sadhus who passed by his home on their way to the higher Himalayan regions. They inspired in him an intense desire to reach the same spiritual heights and invoked in him a strong sense of vairagya which was remarkable for one so young.
At the age of nineteen, he left his family and home to search for his guru. Afer some time, he went to Rishikesh and there he met his spiritual master, Swami Sivananda. During the twelve yeas he spent with his guru, Swami Satyananda plunged himself into karma yoga to such an extent that Swami Sivananda said he did the work of four people. Like an ideal disciple, Swami Satyananda worked form dawn until late at night, involving himself in every kind of work, from cleaning to management of the ashram. Service to guru was his passion and his joy.
In 1968 he went on an extensive world tour popularizing the ancient yogic practices among the people of all castes, creeds, religions and nationalities. Since then, Swami Satyananda has become well-known on every continent and is a leading exponent of yoga and tantra, guiding millions of spiritual seekers and inspiring many ashrams and centers throughout the world. Fro the last twenty yeas he has been dividing his time between overseas tours, Indian tours and residence at Munger.
In 1984 Swami Satyananda founded two independent institutions to function in coordination with the Bihar School, of Yoga, namely Sivananda Math and Yoga Research Foundation.
