KAUAI, HAWAII, March 18, 2002: The inspired works of contemporary Hindu swamis is often regarded as sacred texts by millions of Hindus around the world. Among the newest of such books is “Living with Siva, Hinduism’s Contemporary Culture” by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (who’s known to his devotees as Gurudeva.) The final book of a trilogy, Living with Siva was completed just before his passing in November 2001. Living with Siva contains an in-depth look at the ethics and cultural refinements of the ancient Hindu tradition that are necessary to cultivate in modern life in order to establish a firm foundation for successful spiritual life, meditation and eventual deep realization. In 365 daily lessons, Gurudeva addresses frankly the problematic areas of modern living and offers sound, proven advice based on his 50 years of ministry. The power in Gurudeva’s words strikes a chord in the heart allowing the reader to realize that “yes, I know that too!” The special spiritual quality which permeates Living with Siva has been recognized by the American press. “The lessons are elegantly simple, well-stated, and cross-culturally appealing.” wrote Napra Review. Publishers Weekly, America’s premier publication about newly published literature, said that they found the book “Useful and practical … Readers may not agree with all of his forthright and opinionated reflections … but they will appreciate his unswerving emphasis on infusing daily life with Hindu spirituality.” At the command of Sage Yogaswami of Sri Lanka, Gurudeva worked his entire life to build a bridge between the East and the West. His noble presence, enlightened bearing and down to earth practicality earned the admiration of all who met him.
