Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati born in 1960 in Rajnandgaon, Chhatisgarh, joined his guru`'`s mission of spreading yoga around the world at the tender age of four. When he was six years old he came to live in the ashram in Munger with his Guru Swami Satyananda.
Under the tutelage of Swami Satyananda, he received intense gurukul education and training and was educated in languages, scriptures, sciences, and contemporary subjects through the system of yoga nidra developed by Swami Satyananda.
Swami Satyananda Saraswati, born at Almora in 1923, was initiated into the Dasnami Order of sannyas by Swami Sivananda Saraswati, on 12th September 1947 at Rishikesh. In 1956, after spending twelve years in guru seva, his Guru sent him out into the world and gave him the mission to `"`spread yoga from door to door and shore to shore`"`.
Although his formal education and spiritual tradition was that of Vedanta, at the command of his Guru the task of disseminating yoga became his movement.
