An objective and exhilarating Biography of the master written after painstaking research by a direct disciple Sri N. Ananthanarayanan.

This is the story of a man who, from being a doctor in the Malayan rubber plantations, raised himself, by dint of personal exertions, to the status of a God-man in the Himalayas.This is the story of Swami Sivananda, whose name has today become a by-word among spiritual seekers all over the world.

The story has been told many times before, but almost always in bits and pieces. And not infrequently, with a strong dose of the subjective element. What is attempted here is to present an integrated picture of the life and work of the great Master. In doing so, facts have been narrated simply and their interpretation kept to the minimum.
