"... do not grumble when troubles and sorrows descend upon you... welcome it. Difficulties strengthen your will, augment your power of endurance and turn your mind towards God. Face it with a smile. In your weakness lies your real strength..." said Sivananda in the video (echoing St. Paul).
Today, I trace a lineage like this:
Sivananda Saraswati
to
Satyananda Saraswati (25 December 1923 – 5 December 2009),
to
John Main
to
Laurence Freeman (who was my teacher of Buddhist Christian friendship in 2000 in Bangkok, and who I saw again for the first time a couple of weeks ago here in Baltimore)
Freeman reminds me of Sivananda as seen in this video.
