He was called the 20th centurys first superstar guru (Los Angeles Times), and today, nearly a century after he arrived in the United States, hes still the best known and most beloved of all the Indian spiritual teachers who have come to the West. Now, finally, Paramahansa Yogananda has the authoritative biography he deserves.Paramahansa Yogananda, considered by many to be the father of modern yoga, has had an unsurpassed global impact thanks to the durability of his teachings, the institutions he created or inspired, and especially his iconic memoir, Autobiography of a Yogi.Since its publication in 1946, that book has sold millions of copies and changed millions of lives. But it doesnt tell the whole story.Much of Yoganandas seminal text is devoted to tales about other people, and it largely overlooks the three vital decades he spent living, working, and teaching in America. Huge chunks of his life challenges, controversies, and crises; triumphs, relationships, and formative experiences remain unknown to even his most ardent devotees. In this captivating biography, scholar and teacher Philip Goldberg fills the gaps, charting a journey that spanned six decades, two hemispheres, two world wars, and unprecedented social changes. The result is an objective, thoroughly researched account of Yoganandas remarkable life in all its detail, nuance, and complex humanity.But this is more than a compelling life story. Yogananda would, I believe, want any book about him to not only inform but transform, Goldberg writes. It is my hope that readers will be enriched, expanded, and deepened by this humble offering. That is sure to be the case for both Yogananda enthusiasts and those who discover him for the first time in these illuminating pages.

A fascinating look at Indias remarkable impact on Western culture, this eye-opening popular history shows how the ancient philosophy of Vedanta and the mind-body methods of Yoga have profoundly affected the worldview of millions of Americans and radically altered the religious landscape. What exploded in the 1960s, following the Beatles trip to India for an extended stay with their new guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, actually began more than two hundred years earlier, when the United States started importing knowledge--as well as tangy spices and colorful fabrics--from Asia. The first translations of Hindu texts found their way into the libraries of John Adams and Ralph Waldo Emerson. From there the ideas spread to Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and succeeding generations of receptive Americans, who absorbed Indias science of consciousness and wove it into the fabric of their lives. Charismatic teachers like Swami Vivekananda and Paramahansa Yogananda came west in waves, prompting leading intellectuals, artists, and scientists such as Aldous Huxley, Joseph Campbell, Allen Ginsberg, J. D. Salinger, John Coltrane, Dean Ornish, and Richard Alpert, aka Ram Dass, to adapt and disseminate what they learned from them. The impact has been enormous, enlarging our current understanding of the mind and body and dramatically changing how we view ourselves and our place in the cosmos. Goldberg paints a compelling picture of this remarkable East-to-West transmission, showing how it accelerated through the decades and eventually moved from the counterculture into our laboratories, libraries, and living rooms. Now physicians and therapists routinely recommend meditation, words like karma and mantra are part of our everyday vocabulary, and Yoga studios are as ubiquitous as Starbuckses. The insights of Indias sages permeate so much of what we think, believe, and do that they have redefined the meaning of life for millions of Americansand continue to do so every day. Rich in detail and expansive in scope, American Veda shows how we have come to accept and live by the central teaching of Vedic wisdom: Truth is one, the wise call it by many names.

Paramahansa Yogananda, considerat el pare del ioga modern, conquista Occident amb la seva influent Autobiografia dun iogui, pero molts aspectes vitals de la seva vida romanen desconeguts. Amb La vida de Yogananda, Philip Goldberg cobreix aquestes ombres i buits: les tres decades que Yogananda visque, treballa i ensenya als Estats Units, els conflictes i premps personals, aixi com les crisis i els exits que el formaren. Lautor presenta una biografia objectiva i ben documentada que abasta sis decades, dos continents, dues guerres mundials i canvis socials profunds. Aquesta es, pero, molt mes que una vida narrativa: Goldberg busca que el lector no nomes sinformi, sino que senriqueixi i transformi amb aquest relat humil i profund.

El sendero de crecimiento espiritual se parece mucho a una carretera: lo que necesitamos son señales, indicaciones y claves de los que ya han pasado por allí. Con una profunda comprensión y un encantador sentido del humor, Philip Goldberg, coloca esas señales, junto con consejos sabios y sensatos para facilitar el camino durante todo el recorrido.
