Swami Mahadevananda was born in Rome, Italy in 1939. In 1968 during a visit to Canada he was introduced to Swami Vishnu-devananda at the Sivananda Ashram Head Quarters in Val Morin, Quebec.
Since that meeting, Swami Mahadevananda dedicated his life to learning yoga and serving Swami
Vishnu-devananda and his mission.
Swami Mahadevananda is a great inspiration for all who
experience his true dedication and knowledge.

Yoga for Inner Peace - A
Reunion of Sivananda Yoga Teachers
- August 12,13, 14th 2010
at the Sivananda Headquarters
- Sivananda Yoga Camp, Val Morin, Canada
Om Namah Sivaya. It was felt that mankind will be at a critical
juncture in the very near future and that at the same time the
Sivananda organization has moved from its initial survival and
consolidation periods to one of expansion. There
was a strong desire among all present to reach out to as many of
our extended family as possible; to bring them together to renew
their commitment to and inspire them to extend Swami Vishnu-devananda's
vision of “Unity in Diversity” in the true spirit of the
True World Order. This will be a gathering of all Sivananda
acharyas, senior staff & yoga teachers worldwide coming together
to share their personal experience and vast knowledge for all
those who attend. the intention of this gathering will act as a
catalyst to create renewed energy around the world expanding
Swami Vishnu-devananda's mission of developing inner peace and
outer harmony. Some 24,000 people will attend the day programs
revolving around the Sivananda teachings from senior acharyas
then various cultural performances in the evenings.
We very much
look forward to your participation. May the Gurus blessings be
with us all.
May Master and Swamiji's blessings be with us, always.
Prem and Om,
Swami Mahadevananda
