Sivananda is no newbie to awards. In 2019, he won the Yoga Ratna Award in Bengaluru.
The yoga guru says he has been living in a single room near Varanasi’s Durga Mandir for the past 43 years, and claims that it is his “ideal way of life” that attracts people to him. A simple diet, a well-regulated, well-disciplined and desire-less life. I don’t run after money. Happiness comes automatically. Bhajan keeps one’s mind peaceful,” he told ThePrint Sunday.

His daily routine has remained the same for years. Every day, he gets up at 3 am and goes for half-an-hour’s walk, followed by yoga for an hour, sunbathing and scripture chanting. He has only two meals a day, with no breakfast.

“After bhajan, I do yoga, followed by Geeta-path and Chandi-paath (scripture-chanting). After spending some time in the sun, at 12 noon, I take my lunch. This comprises two chapatis, aloo chokha or some dal,” he says. Dinner again consists of chapatis, with dal or vegetables.

Along with strictly following the three litres-of-water-per day rule, Sivananda also sticks to minimal consumption of sea salt and oil. “Sea salt is very harmful. Black salt or rock salt is better. Consumption of oil leads to stones in the gall bladder — it’s the root cause of it,” he says. He also avoids fruit and milk, but this is more for philosophical than health-related reasons. Sivananda says he feels he shouldn’t enjoy such luxuries when the poor can’t afford them. The only times he has fruits is if someone forces him to.
Although he himself does not eat breakfast, Sivananda does not suggest that young people follow suit. “Young people should eat breakfast. Their an empty-stomach,” he said. For a long and healthy life, the yoga guru suggests regular breathing exercises, including the sheetali mudra — a breathing exercise believed to calm the mind — to people of all ages. Sivananda also claims he has never visited a hospital for any treatment, other than for his routine check-ups.

Sivananda does not remember his early life clearly, and says what he knows about those years is based on what he has heard from his guru, Swami Onkarananda Goswami, to whom his parents had given him away as a child.

“At the age of four years, I was handed over to a monk, and it was under his guidance that I started to eat rice, dal, sabzi. At my mother’s house, I only had water strained from boiling rich (starch). When I was six, my parents both died on the same day — Mother died before sunrise and Father died after sunrise. They had no money, no food,” he says.
After performing his parents’ last rites at the age of six, Sivananda says he started wandering from place to place with his guru. “I spent some time in Nabadwip (in Bengal) and around two years in Vrindavan, and then came to Varanasi,” he said. With no school education, Sivananda says he received training in yogic and spiritual knowledge under Onkarananda Goswami, and subsequently took up the cause of leprosy-affected persons in Puri, Odisha, who he continues to help with food and other necessities.
He began helping leprosy patients 55 years ago, he says. “They (the leprosy patients) have no food or clothes. I feel for them, love them, they are dependent on God. I give them only food and they are happy. My followers collect everything and we simply distribute them,” he says.

Sivananda’s life’s mission is communicated in the the book Rog Arogya. Based on the yoga guru‘s teachings, it has been written by one of his followers, Ashim Kumar Pyne. The book includes tips for good health, yoga techniques, healthy relationships and spiritual mantras.

He says his followers often offer him gifts and money, but he refuses.
“How can I take it? It is illegal and indecent,” he tells a follower who tries to offer him money in ThePrint’s presence. Donations are welcome only for the cause of leprosy patients.
