Excerpts from recordings of satsangs. Kuppuswamy or Swami Sivananda Saraswati (1887 - 1963), was a Hindu spiritual leader, guru, and master of yoga and Vedanta. Born into a family of saints and sages, Sivananda devoted his life to the study and practice of Vedanta. Sivananda had a natural eagerness to serve others and an intimate feeling of unity with all humanity. This passion for service led him to a career in medicine, until he realized that more than anything, people needed correct knowledge; he then adopted the dissemination of this knowledge as his mission. Swami Sivananda spent most of his time absorbed in hours of meditation, intense study, and vigorous Hatha Yoga practice. Although immersed in his own path of Self-realization, Sivananda never stopped attending to people in need of medical care, and said he saw only the immortal form of the Self in each of those people. In 1932 Sivananda started the Sivanandashram. In 1936, “The Divine Life Society” was born. In 1948, the Vedanta-Forest Academy. Its aim was to spread spiritual knowledge and to train people in Yoga and Vedanta. Today, Sivananda has disciples all over the world, of all nationalities, creeds and religions. ????

You can make and unmake things. You sow an action and reap a tendency. You sow a tendency and reap a habit. You sow a habit and reap your character. You sow character and reap your destiny. Therefore, destiny is your own creation. You can unmake it if you want to.” Swami Sivananda. “Now you are thinking, 'I am the body.' Start the spiritual countercurrent and think, 'I am immortal, diseaseless, sexless Atman'. You can conquer death and reach the immortal seat of supreme splendor. By virtuous actions and right thoughts you can disarm destiny”. Swami Sivananda. “Put your heart, mind, intellect and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success”.
