Head, Heart & Hands

Head, Heart & Hands by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati, published by Yoga Publications Trust, is a foundational text in the Yogadrishti (Yogavision) series based on a sequence of satsangs (spiritual discourses) delivered at Ganga Darshan in October 2010.
​The core philosophy of the book centers on integral human development—the harmonious synthesis of intellect (head), emotion (heart), and action (hands). Swami Niranjanananda explains that true self-transformation occurs when an individual learns to align these three fundamental human faculties rather than letting them function in isolation or conflict.

Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati was born in Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh, in 1960 and joined the Bihar School of Yoga at the age of four. Initiated into Dashnami Sannyasa in 1970 by his guru, Swami Satyananda Saraswati, he spent eleven years traveling extensively across North and South America, Europe, and Australia to guide spiritual seekers and establish yoga centers.
​In 1983, he returned to India and was appointed Head of the Bihar School of Yoga. Over the following decades, he founded the Yoga Publications Trust (2000) and initiated major spiritual initiatives to preserve classical yogic teachings. Recognized worldwide as a master of yoga, Vedanta, and tantra, Swami Niranjanananda combines traditional spiritual wisdom with modern practicality, authoring numerous influential books on yoga, philosophy, and self-transformation.

​Head, Heart & Hands by Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati focuses on integral self-transformation by harmonizing the intellect (Head), emotions (Heart), and actions (Hands). Based on a 2010 discourse series at Ganga Darshan, the book provides a step-by-step yogic guide to overcoming negative habits, balancing mind and emotions, and living a creative, optimistic life through practical wisdom.
