📖From Stethoscope to Saffron: The Life of Swami Sivananda
Born in 1887 in Tamil Nadu, India, Kuppuswami (his birth name) was a brilliant student and compassionate medical doctor. But worldly success didn’t satisfy his soul.
In 1923, he renounced his career, became a wandering monk, and later settled in Rishikesh. There, Swami Sivananda Saraswati would light a fire of spiritual revival that would spread worldwide.
“Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, Realize.” — Swami Sivananda
