Chidananda Saraswati[1] (24 September 1916 – 28 August 2008) was president of the Divine Life Society, Rishikesh, India. He is well known in India as a yogi and spiritual leader. He succeeded as president of the Divine Life Society in 1963, after the death of his predecessor, Sivananda Saraswati, who founded the Society.[2]

He was appointed as General Secretary of the Divine Life Society in 1948. He was initiated into the Sannyas order by his guru, Sivananda, on the day of Guru Purnima, 10 July 1949. It was then that he received his monastic name "Chidananda," meaning "one who is consciousness and bliss".[2]
He was elected as president of the Divine Life Society in August 1963, upon the death of Sivananda.[2]
Chidananda Saraswati died on 28 August 2008, at 20:11 pm.[3]
