Sri Swami Satchidananda-Apostle Of Peace

Sri Swami Satchidananda-Apostle Of Peace by Bordow, Sita. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780932040312.

“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.”
