Swami Satchidananda

Apostle of Peace

About this book

"The dedicated ever enjoy supreme peace. Therefore live only to serve." This direction from ancient scriptures has been a guiding light for Sri SwamiSatchidananda, one of the world's most respected and loved spiritual masters.His life has been dedicated to the service of others?all others regardless ofrace, religion, nationality, or any other category.

An authentic holy man with a keen sense of humor and humility, Swami Satchidananda's radiance, benevolence, tolerance and understanding have helpedto bring peace and enlightenment not only to those who practice Yoga but tothousands of Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims and others all overthe globe. Sri Swami Satchidananda: Apostle of Peace tells the life story ofthis remarkable being.

Born into a deeply spiritual family, he became a successful businessman and happy family man. After his wife left, he chose the path of renunciation anddevoted himself completely to spiritual life. Years of studying with many greatsages and saints led him to his Guru, the legendary Sri Swami Sivananda. SwamiSatchidananda soon became known as a great spiritual teacher in both the Eastand the West.

Nicely balanced between the actual sayings, writings, and informal teachings of Swami Satchidananda himself and the running narrative of his extraordinarylife, this biography stands as both an amazing, highly entertaining story, andas an inspirational guide and book of spiritual wisdom.

From the Foreword by Father Thomas Keating, OCSO: "Sri Swami Satchidananda has devoted himself tirelessly to the promotion of spirituality, transculturalvalues and understanding among the world religions."
