Swami Shivananda - When he was six, his father, mother and sister died within three months and he was left all alone. He then travelled to Kashi, received training Guru Omkarananda, mastered yoga and began serving on the ghats there. His disciplined life earned him the title of living embodiment of Yoga, Dhyan and Seva.

Having experienced extreme poverty, Sivananda embarked on a mission to serve humanity. Since then, he has been teaching yoga on the ghats of Varanasi and feeding the poor and needy. He has also been serving around 600 beggars hit by leprosy by arranging meals, and other items for their survival.

Swami Sivananda wakes up at 3 am in morning, practises yoga religiously, and serves people selflessly. He prefers eating rice and boiled lentils with a cup of green chillies. He sleeps on a mat on the floor and uses a wooden slab as a pillow.
