YOGANANDA

Daya Shankar genuinely loved the company of saints.  At the beginning of twentieth century, he was born in Junagar, Gujarat in India.  Dispassion towards  worldly matters eventually made him renounce home in search of a true master.  After acquiring knowledge of yoga through some saints, he was still unsatisfied about his progress.  Through the mentor Krishnanandaji, he heard about Swami Narayan Tirth Maharaj from East Bengal.  He traveled to meet him, initiated soon after and became known as Sri Yoganandaji.  He started to have many rich yoga experiences.  Later, he was further empowered to initiate others.
