The Voice of the Himalayas gives utterance to the life-giving Wisdom of the ancient Upanishad sages and seers. It is one of the greatest contributions to world-welfare and the uplift of all Humanity. Covering all aspects of spiritual life, Sadhana and Divine Living, the living words of Saint Sivananda effectively guide, inspire, enlighten and confer true happiness to the faithful seeker and believer.

A perusal of these aphoristic instructions will unfailingly bring about a definite moral and spiritual awakening and an inner transformation even in the most prosaic and materialistic person.
