Hi all,

 

Namaste.

 

Ramakrishna Math, Bangalore, as part of centenary celebrations of its founding, is

planning to bring out a book "HISTORY OF RAMAKRISHNA MATH, BANGALORE".

 

Swami Siddheswarananda (1897-1957) was one of the past Presidents of Ramakrishna Math

(formerly Sri Ramakrishna Ashrama), Bangalore. He was also one of the past

Presidents of Sri Ramakrishna Ashrama, Mysore and later Minister-in-charge of

Vedanta Centre of Ramakrishna, Gretz, France.

 

If anyone has or can throw light on the available source of the biographical

details/reminiscences of Swami Siddheswarananda and his photographs, it

will be very helpful for the above mentioned publication.

 

Swami Siddheswaranandaji, in his premonastic life was a prince of Cochin

state. Available details, if any on the Swami's pre-monastic life in

Kerala are also heartily welcome.

Hello,

 

Pranams. Srimat Swami Siddheswaranandaji Maharaj used

to visit Sri Ramana Maharashi. Revered Maharaj has

also taken H.H.Swami Ranganthanandaji Maharaj (during

his early monastic life) to Sri Ramana and they have

had his darshan.

 

I am sure Mr.Sundher and other respected members will

be able to provide more information on the

pre-monastic life (and other details) of Swami

Siddheswaranandaji Maharaj.

 

Regards,

Uday.

Namaste,

 

Sw. S.'s book 'Meditation according to Yoga-vedanta' (4th

ed.1976, orig. French, transl. by Prof.V.A.Tyagarajan; publ. Sri

Ramakrishna Ashrama, Trichur, Kerala), has some references.

 

The late S. Radhakrishnan mentions in his Foreword that he knew

him as a student in the Madras Presidency College in the second

decade of 20th century, and kept in touch with till his last day.

 

The back cover of the book gives some more information (as well

as his picture). He was initiated by Sw. Brahmananda in 1917, joined

the Order in 1920, and given sannyasa by Sw. Shivananda in 1924. He

was in France from 1937 to 1957. His parents were disciples of Sw.

Shivananda.
