Many blessings from the Kauai Aadheenam Pitham of the Kailasa Parampara on the occasion of the publishing of the English translation of Yoga Swami by Mr. S. Ambikaipakan, former principal, Jaffna Vaidyeswara Vidyalaya. This English version is a translation of the original Tamil text that was published in 1972.§
Mr. S. Ambikaipakan had the puniyam to know Yoga Swami personally from a young age. As the introduction states, “I knew Swamigal literally from the time I learned to read. From 1926 onwards, the time I joined Hindu College, my association with Swamigal became closer. My writing is primarily based on this long association with Swamigal."§
An important part of the legacy of this great yogi, Yoga Swami, is to preserve important information about his life. This book accomplishes that feat and does so through the medium of the English language and thus is available to the broader readership of the English speaking world.§
