There have been scores of biographies of Gurudev Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj written by various disciples and devotees, but this work stands out as the best of all in many ways. It was the supreme effort of late Revered Sri Swami Venkatesanandaji Maharaj, who, while being a prominent biographer himself, painstakingly culled and compiled the matter from other biographies as well to make it most comprehensive. Suitable and attractive illustrations have profusely been added to enhance the value of the book. It is a must for any reader to know what is indeed the life of a true sage.
About This Book
In this book the many-faceted personality of Swami Sivananda is depicted through examples and stories as told by his close disciples, as well as from his letters and official accounts in The Divine Life Magazine. They relate the story of a very great human being in a most effective manner. All the complexities of a sage of infinite wisdom, compassion and love are explored. His unparalleled selfless service of humanity (first as a medical doctor and later as a realised sage) provides an inspiring example of strength, humility and devotion. His dedication to the welfare of not only his own disciples, but mankind at large, is described in this volume.
Inside Front Cover
Swami Sivananda was incomparable: he was indefinable. and therefore unpredictable. He had no Stereotyped behaviour, set responses or rigid routines. There was no dogma in him, and yet he was not necessarily opposed to dogma. He was not opposed to anything, not even to opposition! In him contradictions were reconciled into a complete wholeness and the changes blended into an unchanging light that defied description.
–Swami Venkatesananda
