Sarvanov was born in Mogila (now in the North Macedonia) in 1879. He joined Georgi Sugarev's group within IMRO, and fought against Ottoman rule in the Bitola and Mariovo districts. During the Ilinden–Preobrazhenie Uprising, Sarvanov fought in the Pelister and Prespa districts. After the death of Sugarev, Sarvanov continued fighting "Greek propaganda".[2]

On January 4, 1908 Sarvanov fell into an Ottoman ambush in the village of Nošpal (close to Bitola in present-day North Macedonia), and rather than allowing himself to fall into Turkish hands, committed suicide.[3]
