(Interruption from the audience by Swami Janakananda from Scandinavia: “I just want to say that in Denmark, between ten and fifteen percent of the population know something of yoga.")
I am very glad to hear that information. However, what I have told you is my direct experience. Please do not confuse the assumption that yoga is spreading like wild fire with the facts. Of course, we all hope that it will be so. The basic seeds have been laid down for this by our Paramguru Sri Swami Sivananda Maharaj and my gurubhai Paramahamsa Satyananda. Through this great institution, the Bihar School of Yoga, I think that seed will grow into a world wide harvest. The world needs yoga, not only the spreading of the physical culture, the scientific explanation of yoga, the psycho-social welfare, but for spiritual welfare. Humanity needs yoga as the world needs rain.
