ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Swami Sivananda Saraswati (1887–1963) was one of the most influential spiritual leaders of the 20th century. A trained medical doctor, he renounced his career to pursue a life of spiritual realization, eventually establishing the Sivananda Ashram and the Divine Life Society on the banks of the Ganges. He was a prolific author of over 200 books, written in simple, direct English to make the highest truths of the Upanishads accessible to all. Swami Sivananda was a pioneer in bringing Yoga to the masses, and his disciples—such as Swami Vishnudevananda, Swami Satchidananda, and Swami Chinmayananda—went on to spark the global Yoga revolution. His life was a living example of "selfless service" and "universal love," transcending boundaries of religion and nationality.
