Mahasamadhi Swami Satyananda Saraswati
He was well known by
many yoga teachers through his well thumbed reference book on Asana,
Pranayama, Mudra Bandha affectionately known as APMB. He was born at Almora,
Uttar Pradesh, in 1923. After meeting Swami Sivananda in Rishikesh in 1943,
he adopted the Dashnami Sannyasa way of life. From 1955 to 1963 he lived as
a wandering mendicant and after settling down, founded the International
Yoga Fellowship in 1963 and the Bihar School of Yoga in 1964. He visited
many countries and wrote over 80 books culminating in the foundation in 1987
of Sivananda Math, a rural development charitable institution, and the Yoga
Research Foundation. In 1988, he adopted kshetra sannyasa, and lived as a
paramahamsa sannyasin. He attained Mahasamadhi on December 5th, 2009 in
Rikhia, India. His successor Swami Niranjananda Saraswati carries on the
tradition.
