[Those person, who think of nothing else and worship me through meditation the accession to and the maintenance of the welfare of such ever devout persons I look after. - By Swami Vireswarananda, Sri Ramakrishna Math, Mylapore, Chennai]
Swami Sivananda Baba had unflinching faith, devotion and undivided surrender to his guru Omkarananda Goswami. By the grace of his guru he realized - "The world is my home. It’s people are my fathers and mothers. To love and serve them is my religion." Baba is bosom friend of God. That is why his all desires are granted by God automatically.Sivananda Baba is a friend to the to the downtrodden, poor, deprived, diseased, fallen and afflicted people. Selfless service to them without desire for reward in his favorite work. Every Saturday he distributes food and donates money to the beggars in Varanasi. Every Year he distributes food, house-hold items and donate money to the leprosy patients in Puri, Bankura and to the poorest of the poor persons in Nabadweep. Baba takes utmost care for Physical, Mental and spiritual upliftment of his devotes. Except the morning hours when he performs Japa, Yoga, Pranayam, freehand exercise, the rest of the day he reads, chants and speaks with devotees irrespective of caste, creed and religion for well-being and welfare of his devotees.
Baba is one without aspiration or desire or materialistic possession but a perpetually satisfied Mahapurusha. His love for the poor, the deprived and the downtrodden is unparallel and exemplary. We prostrate millions of times at the feet of 124 year old Sivananda Baba.
