Inhalt:
"In this critical biography, David Neumann tells the story of Yogananda's fascinating life and interprets his position in religious history, transnational modernity, and American culture as a reverse missionary who intentionally preached his message of Hindu yogic philosophy in a land that routinely sent its own evangelists to India. Beginning with Yogananda's spiritual investigations in his native India, Neumann tells how this early "global guru" emigrated to the United States in 1920 and established his headquarters, the Self-Realization Order, in Los Angeles, where it continues today"--
