Due to this Shantanand lived the life of a householder, worked as a bookbinder, and supported a wife and child for fourteen years.

[3] Shantananda Saraswati received Western visitors from a number of organisations thus making his teaching available to many around the world.

[4] In 1960 Dr Francis Roles (the named successor of P. D. Ouspensky) of The Study Society, travelled to India and became a follower of Swami Shantananda Saraswati; a few years later Leon MacLaren of the School of Economic Science also visited Shantananda Saraswati in India and became a follower.

[10] During his tenure, Shantanand was "supportive" of another Brahamananda disciple Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and "often appeared with him in public".

[2] Shantananda Saraswati taught that people should develop their spiritual life while fully engaged in worldly responsibilities, encouraging them to act to uplift their families, professions, communities, and to manifest the harmony, beauty, and efficiency of their spiritual practices in their everyday life.

[3] Sri Shantananda Saraswati (perhaps reflecting his experience as a husband and then a father) referred to love as "the natural in-between", a state of being that can always be availed because it lies within us all.
