PRAYERFUL DEDICATION TO BHAGAVAN SIVANANDA
Lord!
Condescend to accept this humble flower, fragrant with the aroma of thine own divine
glory, immeasurable and infinite. Hundreds of savants and scholars might write hundreds of tomes
on your glory, yet it would still transcend them all.
In accordance with thine ancient promise:
yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata
abhyutthanamadharmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham
paritranaya sadhoonam vinasaya cha dushkritam
dharmasamsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge
(Gita IV–7, 8)
You, the Supreme Being, the all-pervading Sat-chidaranda-Para-Brahman, have taken this
human garb and come into this world to re-establish Dharma (righteousness). The wonderful
transformation you have brought about in the lives of millions all over the world is positive proof of
your Divinity.
I am honestly amazed at my own audacity in trying to bring this Supreme God, Bhagavan
Sivananda, to the level of a human being (though Sage Valmiki had done so while narrating the
story to Lord Rama) and to describe the Yoga of the Yogeshwareshwara, the goal of all Yogins.
Lord! I cling to Thy lotus-feet and beg for Thy merciful pardon.
If, however, these pages do inspire some others to take up Thy cross and follow Thee, my
Gurudev, I shall have been amply justified in this misadventure. What is Sivananda’s Cross ?
It is:
Meditate
|
Love– |–Serve
|
Realise
This is what has been dealt with in this humble attempt at the presentation of Sivananda
Yoga.

CHAPTER ONE
A LITTLE OF ALL
In the history of the world there have been sages, saints and prophets who have practised
and preached one or the other modes of approaching the goal, which is self-realisation. It was
Gurudev , the prophet of integral yoga, who insisted “It is not enough to practise any one kind of
spiritual discipline, however well you may strive to do so. Every aspirant should incorporate in his
spiritual programme all the items of all the yogas or modes of approaching God.”
Gurudev had no doctrine of his own. He re-delivered the same message that has from the
beginning of time been given to us by the divine. His were the lips of God. He was one with God.
Yet, if we can audaciously read a doctrine into his teaching, his own unique approach to the science
of yoga can be called “The Yoga of a Little” or the yoga of synthesis. He warned us that only the
harmonious development of the entire being could take us easily to the goal. A weak spot anywhere
in the structure would ruin the whole.
He composed a rather simple but beautiful little song, which he himself sang in the
Mahamantra tune at every meeting he addressed, especially during his All-India-Ceylon Tour in
1950.
hare rama, hare rama, rama rama, hare hare
hare krishna, hare krishna, krishna krishna, hare hare
Eat a little, drink a little;
talk a little, sleep a little.
Mix a little, move a little;
serve a little, give a little;
Work a little, rest a little;
study a little, worship a little.
Do asana a little, pranayama a little;
reflect a little, meditate a little,
Do japa a little, do kirtan a little,
write mantra a little, have satsanga a little.
Do all these, little, little. You will have time for all.
Was the Master against doing more of these wonderful things–like japa, asanas, or
meditation? You ask, “Why only a little, why not much?” Then, we go on to interpret this to mean,
“Do at least a little .. ..” But he really meant just this, “Do a little of each, don’t specialise.” That was
the message–because the thing that clamours for specialisation is the ego, for the specialist is
admired by the crowd. Specialisation fattens one’s ego, weakens the spirit of tolerance and
understanding, and creates contempt and hatred.
