ABOUT THIS BOOK

PUBLISHERS’ NOTE
These are a number of talks and messages on Gurudev Swami Sivananda by Swami Chidananda. The first twelve were given during Gurudev’s lifetime and the following 13 after his Mahasamadhi.
They show Swami Chidananda’s exemplary, totally dedicated discipleship during 65 years and his untiring zeal and conviction of spreading his Master’s teachings and the message of Divine Life during his Presidency of 45 years. Whatever he elaborates on and propagates in his discourses, that Swamiji himself was the best example of.
We are sure that all who read this book will be inspired to follow more ardently in Gurudev’s and Swami Chidananda’s footsteps and lead the Divine Life to the best of their abilities.
