Description
On the holy Buddha Purnima day in May 1943, a 26 years old well-educated youth from an aristocrat family prostrated before Swami Sivananda and dedicated him totally at the feet of the guru. He was appointed as the General Secretary of the Divine Life Society in 1947 and was elected as its President in 1963.
Though he toured all over the world again and again, he remained an extremely simple, humble and austere sage. His spiritual height endeared himself to all the saints, philosophers and sincere seekers. His inspiring talks are an invaluable treasure for all the seekers.
H H Sri Swami Chidanandaji’s extremely austere life and his wisdom teachings remind us of the seers and sages of Upanishadic era. But there is one difference: Whereas the ancient teachings were aphoristic, abstract and extremely difficult to understand, Swamiji’s teachings are elaborate, easy-to-understand and imparted with affection of a parent or guru. As such, this mini-compendium of wisdom and knowledge all-both secular as well as spiritual, will greatly benefit the spiritual aspirants all over the world in their day-to-day activities and spiritual ascent.
