DEVOTEES and supporters from around the world, along with the Sivananda World Peace Foundation and the Divine Life Society of South Africa, gathered yesterday to commemorate the centenary of the birth and divine legacy of His Holiness Sri Swami Sahajananda.

- DAILY NEWS REPORTER

The day not only marked a century since his birth in 1925 in Estcourt, KwaZulu-Natal, but also celebrates the profound impact he has had on countless lives through his teachings and humanitarian work.

As the Spiritual Head of the Divine Life Society of South Africa and a devoted disciple of the revered sage Sri Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh, India, Swami Sahajananda dedicated his life to the principles of “serve, love, give, purify, meditate and realise”.

His commitment to these ideals saw him spearhead over 300 humanitarian projects throughout South Africa, particularly in rural areas of KwaZulu-Natal, from 1974 until his Mahasamadhi (departure) in 2007.
