Foreword The edited volume is a remarkable book, describing role of yogis in Indian independence movement. On completion of 75 years of India's independence, the program 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' is being celebrated by Government of India across the country. This was the result of great effort of Indian citizens through which India got independence from British rule. Yogis have their own indomitable contribution in the Indian independence movement. Yogis such as Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati, Swami Shraddhananda, Shri Aurobindo, and Swami Vivekananda have shown the pathway of Indian independence by giving the idea of Swaraj to Indian citizens.
