Om Sri Sadguru Paramatmane Namah!

Salutations to holy Master Gurudev Swami Sivananda, the modern world teacher and spiritual awakener of the twentieth century mankind. May his living memory and his sacred spiritual message inspire us to live our life in a noble and divine manner, so that we are a source of abundant good and benefit to our fellowmen and to all life around us.

It gives me joy to write this brief foreword to the book, "What Does Swami Sivananda Teach?", written with much devotion by the well-known compiler of the magnificent volume "Bliss Divine" and author of "From Man to God-man", a beautiful biography of Gurudev Swami Sivanandaji with its many interesting illustrations. This present little book is Sri N. Ananthanarayananji's votive offering placed at Gurudev's feet on the auspicious occasion of the holy Master's Birth Centenary on 8th September, 1987. This is the form of Guru-dakshina which Gurudev would rejoice immensely to receive. As such, the present handy brochure constitutes a most appropriate offering upon this holy occasion. For this reason, it affords me special happiness to write this foreword.

Sri N. Ananthanarayanan, the author, is a direct disciple of Sri Gurudev Sivanandaji, and as such, a Gurubhai of mine. He is a resident Sadhu of Sivanandashram. He has successfully summed up Si Gurudev's message to the humanity of the present era and his simple but inspiring and instructive teachings to the human society of yesterday, today as well as tomorrow upto the future.

Covering this subject under twelve well-conceived topics, this book constitutes a call to the life spiritual and serves as an introduction to Divine Life. I have no doubt that it will be of invaluable help to numerous sincere souls who are seeking for a deeper meaning and a higher purpose in their life. May this loving gift of the author to the global human family serve to bring a new light into the life of its readers and to give an upward and Godward direction to their living and striving.

May the choicest blessings of Gurudev be upon the author as well as all the readers. Peace and joy to you all.
