The Yoga-Guru of Swami Dayanand

In 1906 Vikrami Swami Dayanand met yogi Shivanand Giri and Yogi Jwala Nand Giri at Chanod. The yogic achievement of these two yogies was of a very high level. They being covinced that Swamili was the right and deserving person for yod-vidya, taught him all the secrets of yoga at Chanod and after one month at Ahmedabad.

Swamiji throughout his life felt highly grateful to these two yogies and remembered them with great respect and devotion.
