Rajagopalachariar and several other eminent leaders of modern thought have remarked, H. H. Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj has not only been training disciples— initiated and laymen — in the theory and practice of Yoga, but has been interpreting for the enlightenment of people all over the world, the sacred lore of Bharatavarsha especially and of the world in general, in a style and language that would appeal to the Modern Man and be understood by him. From Sri Swamiji's prolific pen have flowed authoritative texts on all the branches of Yoga and Jnana, and none has been omitted. Yet, Sri Swamiji felt that he had not done full justice to Tantra Yoga, the great legacy that our ancients have left us. Therefore, Sri Swamiji applied himself to the task of re-presenting to humanity the great truths hidden in Tan- tric texts. In the three Yogas dealt with in this volume Tantra Yoga, Nada Yoga and Kriya Yoga—the reader would not fail to notice the hall-mark of Sri Swamiji's teachings ; they are cent per cent practical and at once inspire the reader to take up the Sadhana. It is our earnest hope that every aspirant into whose hands Benign Providence places this precious treasure will profit by it, by diligently practising it and ultimately attaining Self-realisation, the goal of all human endeavour. P.O. Sivananda Nagar\ 18th April, 1955 J PUBLISHERS www.holybooks.com It was never my intention to include my photograph in this book. But I have had to do so in response to the wish expressed by Gurudev in his letter dated 21st Septem­ ber 1955, wherein he said, "I have, however, one personal request to make. I pray that a nice picture of your vene­ rable self be included alongside the Publishers' Note 'The Miracle of the Birth of this Volume'. This is not meant for glorifying you ... It is my sincere wish." It is needless to say that I did not have the courage to disobey Gurudev's command. Я VTSWAMATHAN www.holybooks.com THE MIRACLE OF THE BIRTH OF THIS VOLUME Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj had, as soon as he had completed writing this great work on Tantra Yoga, Nada Yoga and Kriya Yoga, expressed the Sat-Sankalpa that it should be printed soon. With the pressure of work upon the Yoga-Vedanta Forest University Press, this would, however, not been possible but for a miracle. In April, 1955, there walked into the Office of the Divine Life Society Sri S. Viswanathan, Proprietor of the Central Art Press, Madras, who with amazing spontaneity offered his services to the Divine Life Cause by printing and supplying free one book every six months, to add to the flood of spiritual knowledge that has its fountain-source at the Abode of Bliss, the sacred spot trodden by the holy feet of Sage Sivananda. This generous and kind offer was warmly received and accepted by Sri Swamiji Maharaj who chose this volume to be the first in the series to be printed by the Central Art Press of Sri Viswanathan. What words can express our gratitude to Sri Viswanathan for this magnanimous act of grace of his ? In what way can we, the humble aspirants following the life-transforming teachings of Sri Gurudev, repay the debt of gratitude we owe to Sri Viswanathan ? By making the best use of the fruit of his munificence. May the aspirants all over the world who study this work thus prove their gratitude to Sri Viswanathan ! May the Lord's and Gurudev's choicest blessings be upon him \ P.O. Sivananda Nagar\ 18th May, 1955 J VENKATESANANDA S. I www.holybooks.com IX of these are youthful seekers and aspirants, some of them quite young, who, self-forgetful and absorbed, are ceaselessly intent on carrying forward this vast task which they engage SWAMI SIVANANDA AND THE AWAKENED INDIA themselves in, in the spirit of pure worshipfulness and true karma Yoga.
