Description
Gurudev Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj’s life-transforming teachings are of universal interest and application. They transcend the limitations of caste, creed, colour and nationality. They who have a broad vision of life appreciate this sublime aspect of Gurudev’s teachings most.
This work, Self-Culture, is a compilation done, as a labour of love, by late Sri Swami Satchidanandaji Maharaj who was a direct disciple of Gurudev. He sincerely served Gurudev personally for over a decade and, by dint of his proximity to Gurudev, he had a comprehensive knowledge of the range of Gurudev’s literature. We hope that this book will stimulate the readers interest to study deeply and become true seekers of the Knowledge of the Self.
