Beautifully said - Modesty, Humility, and Meekness - in today’s world, these qualities are not recognized, rather looked at as weaknesses, our environment is not so conducive in developing these qualities in a common man.

When I passed the Sivananda Ashram around 8 p.m., I saw poor people sleeping outside. If his holiness Sivananda Ji was materially alive today, those poor people would have got shelter and food. Now the same institution has been occupied by dollar hungry satans. Noone is going to get emancipation by circus hatha yogic practices. Ignorant people are being duped of their money and time. Only way to liberation is Bhakti yoga. Hatha yoga is good only for beautification of the gross body. OM

i studied for many years personally with sri nerode. Yogananda lived with him when he first came to the usa.

so one day i was working with SAIL in india. the company wanted me to c the city and country side. They gave me a driver and he drove me around. all of a sudden he turned sharply down a dirt road. he stopped and motioned me to follow him. we stopped at a tree. it said, here sat yogananda for three years while teaching before he left to stay in the usa.

How fun!
That is Sri Swami Chidanandaji, his administrative successor speaking.

Uncle Chidanandaji Maharaj, such a gentleman, such a real monk, and how cute to see this footage. Thank you so much, he is my grandfather Guru.

Jai Sivananda!

And Sivananda strongly denounced the caste system. He also did much to elevate women. He also was one of the first to bring Hatha yoga out of the caves and forests to the common householder.

sidhaguru says:

the caste system is evil
thats what i mean

rolandSullivan says:

yes. Sivananda guides me every single day. a t rue story. the current president of india went to see sivananda in his youth when failed some kind of education tests so he could not enter more advanced classes. his career was stalled. i may not have this exactly right… but sivananda said.. worry not my divine soul, one day you will lead india. well indeed today he does. the president often tells this experience to the people of india. most people in india know of sivananda.

Jai Gurudev Dayanidhi Deenana Hithakaari!

HUMOUR, A DIVINE GIFT

“While Sivananda was proceeding to attend Satsanga, the Master had occasion to make a humorous remark. Then, commenting on humour itself generally, he said, “Humour is good, especially if it is educative and instructive humour. It is a divine gift just as music is a divine gift.”

rolandSullivan says:

DYB. Yes. Sivananda was yoga adept. In his youth, he mastered hatha as a part of raja yoga. His yoga is the synthesis of all different yogas. Oh.. and he upset the traditionalists when he would jog everyday.
Today Sivananda said in a daily email send to me from Rishikesh “Spiritual life is not a light matter.”
My edit; Spiritual life is not a light matter; It is a matter of divine life. Mattering in light spiriting. Seek the divine light to see your divine life.
