=== Youth in California (1927–1946) ===
Sivaya Subramuniyaswami was born in [[California]] in 1927 as Robert Hansen. He is quoted as relating how, at the age of six, "the totality of the power of the [[eternity]] of the moment began to become stronger and stronger within me from that time onward."<ref>http://www.himalayanacademy.com/view/the-guru-chronicles {{bare URL inline|date=May 2023}}</ref>{{third-party inline|reason=Source closely affiliated with the subject|date=April 2023}}<ref name=autogenerated1>{{Cite magazine|title=The Making of a Master |magazine=Hinduism Today |publisher=Himalayan Academy |year=2002 |issue=April/May/June |url=https://www.hinduismtoday.com/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=3875 }}</ref>{{third-party inline|reason=Source closely affiliated with the subject|date=April 2023}} He was most inspired by the life of [[Swami Vivekananda]] and his four small volumes: ''[[Raja Yoga (book)|Raja Yoga]]'', ''Bhakti Yoga'', ''[[Karma Yoga (book)|Karma Yoga]]'' and ''[[Inspired Talks]]'', and most particularly by Swami Vivekananda's masterful poem, "The Song of the [[Sannyasin]]".
Sivaya Subramuniyaswami's training in classical eastern and Western dance and in the disciplines of [[yoga]] developed him into a dancer. He joined the [[San Francisco Ballet]] Company, becoming their [[danseur]] by age nineteen. At twenty years of age, he took the first ship to leave for [[India]] after [[World War II]]. He celebrated his twenty-first birthday just days before going ashore and walking through the grand [[Gateway to India]] in [[Mumbai]].
