Produktbeschreibung

"The dedicated ever enjoy supreme peace. Therefore live only to serve." This direction from ancient scriptures has been a guiding light for Sri Swami Satchidananda, one of the world's most respected and loved spiritual masters. His life has been dedicated to the service of others--all others regardless of race, 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 helped to bring peace and enlightenment not only to those who practice Yoga but to thousands of Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims and others all over the globe. Sri Swami Satchidananda: Apostle of Peace tells the life story of this remarkable being. Born into a deeply spiritual family, he became a successful businessman and happy family man. After losing his wife, he chose the path of renunciation and devoted himself completely to spiritual life. Years of studying with many great sages and saints led him to his Guru, the legendary Sri Swami Sivananda. Swami Satchidananda soon became known as a great spiritual teacher in both the East and the West. Nicely balanced between the actual sayings, writings, and informal teachings of Swami Satchidananda himself and the running narrative of his extraordinary life, this biography stands as both an amazing, highly entertaining story, and as 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, transcultural values and understanding among the world religions."

Autorenporträt

Swami Satchidananda is the founder of Integral Yoga(R) International, Satchidananda Ashram Yogaville, and the Light Of Truth Universal Shrine. He was one of the first Yoga masters to bring the Yoga tradition to the West and he was welcomed as a truly universal spiritual teacher. The distinctive teachings he brought with him blend six branches of classical Yoga and the nondual philosophy of India, as well as the interfaith ideals he pioneered. These techniques and concepts influenced a generation and gave rise to Yoga culture that is flourishing today. There are now 20 Integral Yoga centers and thousands of Integral Yoga teachers around the globe. Integral Yoga is the foundation of Dr. Dean Ornish's landmark work in reversing heart disease, Patricia Kerr's Big Yoga, Sonia Sumar's Yoga for the Special Child, and many other trailblazing programs. He is the author of Integral Yoga Hatha, To Know Your Self, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Beyond Words, The Living Gita, and The Golden Present, among other titles. He is also the subject of the documentary, Living Yoga: The Life and Teachings of Swami Satchidananda. He received many honors for his humanitarian service including the Juliet Hollister Interfaith Award presented at the United Nations, the U Thant Peace Award and a posthumous honor during his centenary in 2014, the James P. Morton Interfaith Award. In addition, he served on the advisory boards of many world peace and interfaith organizations. For more information, please visit: swamisatchidananda.org and integralyoga.org
