Swami Sivananda (1887-1963)
Swami Sivananda (1887-1963) was a well-known Yoga master born in South India. A medical doctor early in life, he became more introspective and interested in spirituality after meeting a wandering monk. He travelled to Rishikesh in the Himalayas where he became a monk himself and from then on, followed strict spiritual practices and became a prolific Yoga teacher for the next ten years. He has written over 200 books about Yoga and philosophy and he travelled to North America in 1957 where he established the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers.
