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 doesn't tell the whole story. Much of Yogananda's
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
Yogananda's remarkable life in all its detail, nuance, and complex
humanity. '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.'
