Satyananda Saraswati

Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati was born in 1923 at Almora (Uttaranchal) into a family of farmers. His ancestors were warriors and many of his kith and kin, including his father, served in the army and police force. However, from an early age it became evident that Sri Swamiji had a different destiny, as he began to have spiritual experiences at the age of six.
