Swami’s Children: 1970 Documentary

Featured News, Stories

In 1970, after the popularity of the legendary Woodstock Festival, CBS-TV decided to learn more about the Swami who opened that Festival and set a tone of peace and hope for the nearly 500,000 young people attending it. CBS produced a documentary on this new movement of young people studying the classical Yoga tradition with the “Woodstock Guru,” Swami Satchidananda. This film, entitled “Swami’s Children,” aired as a television special in New York. This classic film has recently been restored and digitized for all to enjoy.  (Our heartfelt thanks to video editor Ishwara Aref.)
