poet and Yogi, initiated into sannyasa by Shrimat Paramahamsa Parivrajakacharya
Svami Shankarananda Sarasvati.Svamiji practised rigorous austerities in the
Himalayas and a very small part of this time is beautifully reflected in the
book, A Solitary Traveller

travelled throughout India, Europe and America benefiting many wherever he
went until his mahasamadhi in October 1983.

His profound philosophical insight became
apparent in his teachings, articles and commentaries on the Yoga sutras, Bhagavad
Gita, Vedantasara and other texts. |

Widely known for his in-depth knowledge of
the mundane and the divine, Svamiji would define objects and concepts with
a rare scientific precision. |

His qualities as a writer, poet, philosopher
and saint flowing together on the currents of his innate wit and humour and
his lovingness and care for his fellow beings were washed and refined by the
depth of his renunciation and discerning intelligence and wisdom |
