Swami Sivananda Baba, 128, back at Mahakumbh 2025. He has actually participated in every Kumbh Mela in 100 years–

Padma Shri recipient and yoga exercise specialist Swami Sivananda Baba has actually been participating in every Kumbh Mela throughout Prayagraj, Nashik, Ujjain and Haridwar for the previous 100 years, according to his adherent Sanjay Sarvajana.

The banner outside Baba’s camp on Sector 16’s Sangam Lower Road shows his Aadhaar card, which provides his birth day as August 8, 1896. While Swami Sivananda engaged himself in yoga exercise and reflection in his chamber in the early morning, his devotees waited outside for his darshan amidst continuous Maha Kumbh.

Speaking concerning Baba’s very early life, Phalgun Bhattacharya, a devotee from Bengaluru, ended up being psychological.

“Baba was born to a beggar’s family. His parents would offer him to saints visiting the village, hoping he would at least receive food. When Baba was four, they handed him over to Saint Omkarananda Goswami,” he stated.

At the saint’s demand, Swami Sivananda went back to see his household when he was 6. In a terrible turn of occasions, his sibling died upon his return, and within a week, he shed both his moms and dads.

Bhattacharya stated, “Baba performed their last rites on a single funeral pyre. The saint then became his sole caretaker.” Bhattacharya disclosed that up until the age of 4, Baba had actually never ever seen milk, fruits or bread. “All these developments shaped his current lifestyle – he eats half a meal, sleeps by 9 pm, wakes up at 3 am and spends his mornings performing yoga and meditation. He does not take a nap during the day,” he included.

Hiraman Biswas, a devotee from Delhi, defined Baba’s extensive spiritual capacities. He remembered an occurrence where a supporter, famished upon getting here, was offered kheer in an earthen dish byBaba The follower grumbled it wanted, yet Baba asked him to consume it. The devotee maintained consuming yet can not end up the kheer. Falling at Baba’s feet, the follower said loudly, “I failed to understand you, Baba.” Biswas stated he initially satisfied Baba in Chandigarh in 2010. Despite remaining on the 6th flooring of a structure, Baba climbed and down the staircases daily, as both lifts were non-functional. “I was amazed by his fitness,” Biswas kept in mind.

Swami Sivananda was given the Padma Shri with no application from him, according to a supporter. Expressing appreciation, the follower applauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating, “He is identifying and honouring gems like Baba.” The admired seer approves no contributions, has no needs and continues to be healthsome. He consumes steamed food without oil or salt and prevents milk and its by-products. Based in Kabir Nagar, Durgakund in Varanasi, Baba will certainly return home after finishing his remain at the Maha Kumbh Mela.

In his message to the young people, Swami Sivananda stressed, “Start your day early and dedicate at least half-an-hour to yoga. Maintain a proper lifestyle, as many suffer due to unhealthy habits and lack of physical activity. Walking daily is essential for good health.”
