SWAMI NARAYANDEV TIRTHA

Born in 1870 in East Bengal of India, Kali Kishore longed for a deep spiritual life. Married young yet, he possessed many qualities such as detachment from worldly longings and control over his emotions. Pursuing further, he traveled extensively and sought many teachers.  He was finally initiated in 1889 after meeting Sri Swami Gangadhar Tirtha.  Worldly responsibilities would postpone his Divine experiences for another nineteen and half years.  However, as promised by his Guru, after this period was over, he started to experience Divine energy flowing in him once again!  Later, he renounced ordinary life and became a Swami.  He wanted this method of yoga to be accessible to many so he  initiated many disciples during his lifetime.
