Sri Swami Paramanandaji Maharaj, the author of this book, was born on the 15th of

February, 1907, in the town of Nagore in South India, as the youngest son of the prosperous

The young boy, who had an adventurous spirit and an innate urge for renunciation, happened to

read Swami Sivanandaji’s first writing ‘Practice of Yoga’ at the Connemera Library, Madras, in
1929. He started postal correspondence with S wami Sivanandaji and expressed his wish to

however, not there; he was on a long tour. After a few days’ stay at Swarga Ashram, Jayaraman

Paramananda had naturally to be happy with a r ough life bereft of even the normal amenities of
one’s life. Those were the very hard days ofthe Tapas ofSivanandaji, whenhe used to utilise the

SwamiParamanandawaswithGurudevfromhisremoteSwargaAshramdaysandwasthe
pioneering Executive of the Divine Life Society during the days of its inception. He was then the
veritable right hand of Sri Gurudev and was the sole in-charge in those difficult days of the
spade-work of the Institution which was just ga ining ground as the would-be world renowned
Organisation.

SwamiSivanandaji sent Paramananda to Madras to assist Mr. P .K. Vinayagam,Editor of

the periodical ‘My Magazine of India’, in which a page was already being devoted to Swamiji’s
article ‘Precepts for Practice’, which Swamiji con tinued to contribute for more than two decades.
Stationed in Madras, Paramananda got published many of Gurudev’s works through the good

officesofMr.P.K.Vinayagam.

“Even a mere catalogue of the services rendered by Paramananda to the divine cause
espoused by the Master would fill the pages of a large volume. Suffice it to say that when a holy
