Guru Bhakti Yoga: 2016–2020

Published as part of the documentation of modern yogic history by the Yoga Publications Trust, this book acts as a chronological guide. It bridges classical, austere ashram traditions with modern practical application for global spiritual seekers.

Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati is a world-renowned spiritual master and the successor of Swami Satyananda Saraswati. He was appointed Successor of the Bihar School of Yoga in 1990 and later founded Bihar Yoga Bharati in 1994. Known for his profound wisdom, practical approach to yoga, and guidance on spiritual life, Swami Niranjanananda has authored numerous books and continues to inspire seekers globally with the teachings of Satyananda Yoga.

The book documents a critical five-year period of teachings exploring the deep dimensions of Guru Bhakti. Rather than viewing devotion as blind emotional sentiment, the text treats it as a precise energetic science that humbles the human ego. It details specific daily sadhanas (practices), mental attitudes required of an authentic disciple, and guidelines on how to systematically absorb the spiritual grace of a lineage to achieve emotional stability, mental peace, and inner transformation.
