BRIEF LIFE SKETCH OFSWAMI CHIDANANDA

Sridhar Rao, as Swami Chidananda was known before taking Sannyasa,was born to SrinivasaRao and Sarojini, on the 24th September, 1916, thesecond of five children and the eldest son. Sri SrinivasaRao was aprosperous Zamindarwith extensive lands and palatial buildings in SouthIndia. Sarojini was an ideal Indian mother, noted for her saintliness.

At the age of eight, Sridhar Rao’s life was influenced by one SriAnantayya, a friend of his grandfather, who used to relate to him storiesfrom the epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata. Doing Tapas (austerities),becoming a Rishi (sage), and having a vision of the Lord became idealswhich he cherished.

His uncle, Krishna Rao, shielded him against the evil influences of thematerialistic world around him, and sowed in him the seeds of the Nivrittilife (life of renunciation) which he joyously nurtured until, as latter eventsproved, it blossomed into sainthood.

His elementary education began at Mangalore. In 1932, he joined theMuthiahChetty School in Madras where he distinguished himself as abrilliant student. His cheerful personality, exemplary conduct andextraordinary traits earned for him a distinct place in the hearts of allteachers and students with whom he came into contact.

In 1936, he was admitted to Loyola College, whose portals admit onlythe most brilliant of students. In 1938, he emerged with the degree ofBachelor of Arts. This period of studentship at a predominantly ChristianCollege was significant. The glorious ideals of Lord Jesus, the Apostlesand the other Christian saints had found in his heart a synthesis of all thatis best and noble in the Hindu culture. To him, study of the Bible was nomere routine; it was the living word of God, just as living and real as thewords of the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad-Gita. His innatebreadth of vision enabled him to see Jesus in Krishna, not Jesus instead

of Krishna. He was as much an adorer of Jesus Christ as he was of LordVishnu.

The family was noted for its high code of conduct and this was infusedinto his life. Charity and service were the glorious ingrained virtues ofthe members of the family. These virtues found an embodiment in SridharRao. He discovered ways and means of manifesting them. None whosought his help was sent away without it. He gave freely to the needy.

Service to lepers became his ideal. He would build them huts on thelawns of his home and look after them as though they were deities. Later,after he joined the Ashram (hermitage), this early trait found in himcomplete and free expression where even the best among men wouldseldom venture into this great realm of divine love, based upon thesupreme wisdom that all are one in God. Patients from the neighbourhood,suffering from the worst kind of diseases came to him. To Sridhar Raothe patient was none other than Lord Narayana Himself. He served himwith tender love and compassion. The very movement of his handsportrayed him as worshipping the living Lord Narayana. Nothing wouldkeep him from bringing comfort to the suffering inmates of the Ashram,no matter what the urgency of other engagements at the time.

Service, especially of the sick, often brought out the fact that he had noidea of his own separate existence as an individual. It seemed as if hisbody clung loosely to his soul.

Nor was all this service confined to human beings. Birds and animalsclaimed his attention as much as, if not more than, human beings. Heunderstood their language of suffering. His service of a sick dog evokedthe admiration of Gurudev. He would raise his finger in grim admonitionwhen he saw anyone practicing cruelty to dumb animals in his presence.

His deep and abiding interest in the welfare of lepers had earned for himthe confidence and admiration of the Government authorities when hewas elected to the Leper Welfare Association, constituted by the state - atfirst as Vice-Chairman and later as Chairman of The Muni-ki-reti NotifiedArea Committee.

Quite early in life, although born in a wealthy family, he shunned thepleasures of the world to devote himself to seclusion and contemplation.In the matter of study it was the spiritual books which had the most appealto him, more than college books. Even while he was at college, text-books had to take second place to spiritual books. The works of SriRamakrishna, Swami Vivekananda and Sri Gurudev took precedence overall others. He shared his knowledge with others, so much so that hevirtually became the Guru of the household and the neighbourhood, towhom he would talk of honesty, love, purity, service and devotion toGod. He would exhort them to perform Japa of Rama-Nama. While stillin his twenties he began initiating youngsters into this great Rama TarakaMantra. He was an ardent admirer of Sri Ramakrishna Math at Madrasand regularly participated in the Satsangs (association with the wise)there. The call of Swami Vivekananda to renounce resounded within hispure heart. He ever thirsted for the Darshan (vision) of saints and Sadhus(renunciates) visiting the metropolis.

In June 1936, he disappeared from home. After a vigorous search by hisparents, he was found in the secluded Ashram of a holy sage some milesfrom the sacred mountain shrine Tirupati. He returned home after somepersuasion. This temporary separation was but a preparation for the finalparting from the world of attachments to family and friends. While athome his heart dwelt in the silent forests of spiritual thoughts, beating intune with eternal Pranava-Nada (mystic sound of the Eternal) of the JnanaGanga (river of Knowledge) within himself. The seven years at homefollowing his return from Tirupati were marked by seclusion, service,intense study of spiritual literature, self-restraint, control of the senses,simplicity in food and dress, abandonment of all comforts and practiceof austerities which augmented his inner spiritual power.

The final decision came in 1943. He was already in correspondence withSri Swami SivanandajiMaharaj of Rishikesh. He obtained Swamiji’spermission to join the Ashram.

On arriving at the Ashram, he naturally took charge of the dispensary. Hebecame the man with the healing hand. The growing reputation of his

divine healing hand attracted a rush of patients to the Sivananda CharitableDispensary.

Very soon after joining the Ashram, he gave ample evidence of thebrilliance of his intellect. He delivered lectures, wrote articles formagazines and gave spiritual instructions to the visitors. When the Yoga-Vedanta Forest University (now known as the Yoga-Vedanta ForestAcademy) was established in 1948, Sri Gurudev paid him a fitting tributeby appointing him Vice-Chancellor and Professor of Raja Yoga. Duringhis first year he inspired the students with his brilliant exposition ofMaharishi Patanjali’s Yoga-Sutras.

It was also in the first year of his stay at the Ashram that he wrote hismagnum opus ‘Light Fountain’, an immortal biography of Sri Gurudev.Sri Gurudev himself once remarked: “Sivananda will pass away, but ‘LightFountain’ will live”.

In spite of his multifarious activities and intense Sadhana, he founded,under the guidance of Gurudev, the Yoga Museum in 1947, in which theentire philosophy of Vedanta and all the processes of Yoga Sadhana aredepicted in the form of pictures and illustrations.

Towards the end of 1948, Gurudev nominated him as the GeneralSecretary of The Divine Life Society. The great responsibility of theorganization fell on his shoulders. From that very moment he spiritualizedall his activities by his presence, counsel and wise leadership. He exhortedall to raise their consciousness to the level of the Divine.

On Guru Purnima day, the 10th of July, 1949, he was initiated into theholy order of Sannyasa by Sri Swami SivanandajiMaharaj. He nowbecame known as Swami Chidananda, a name which connotes : “onewho is in the highest consciousness and bliss”.

In November 1959 Swami Chidanandaji embarked on an extensive tourof America, being sent by Gurudev as his personal representative tobroadcast the message of Divine Life. He returned in March 1962.

In August 1963, after the Mahasamadhi of the Master, he was elected asPresident of the Divine Life Society. After election, he strove to holdaloft the banner of renunciation, dedicated service, love and spiritualidealism, not only within the set-up of the widespread organization ofthe Society, but in the hearts of countless seekers throughout the world,who were all too eager to seek his advice, help and guidance.

Sri Swami Chidanandaji has toured the length and breadth of India,Malaysia and South Africa to serve the devotees of the Society.

Again in 1968, Sri Swami Chidanandaji undertook the Global Tour atthe kind request of numerous disciples and devotees of holy Master SriSwami SivanandajiMaharaj and visited all countries of the world.Wherever he went devotees received him cordially and listened to himwith rapt attention.

Sri Swami Chidanandaji,an embodiment of humility and dedication toGurudev Swami Sivananda right from the beginning worked and servedthe Divine Cause of Sri Gurudev’s Mission tirelessly and to spread hisDivine Life Message throughout the Globe.

For scores of people who did not have the Good fortune of SeeingGurudevSivananda, they saw him in Swami Chidananda. In his Humility,Compassion and love that he showered on them.

He attained Mahasamadhi on the 28th August 2008.
