At the age of nineteen he met his spiritual master, Swami Sivananda, in Rishikesh and lived in his circle for following twelve years. For the next eight years he wandered through India, Afghanistan, Nepal, Burma and Ceylon, extending his knowledge of spiritual practices. In 1963 Swami Satyananda founded the International Yoga Fellowship and the Bihar School of Yoga in the following year. He toured extensively, teaching yoga globally for the next twenty years, and authored a number of books. Hundreds of yoga teaching centres have been establishing under his name. In 1988 he retired from active involvement in yoga teaching and is now a patron of charitable institutions. Swami Satyananda's system of yoga is considered to be Integral yoga.
