Om The Life of Yogananda av Goldber, Philip ; Goldberg, Philip

Paramahansa Yoganandas liv och påverkan

Boken The Life of Yogananda av Philip Goldberg ger en djupgående och välresearchad redogörelse för Paramahansa Yoganandas liv, som ofta beskrivs som en av de mest betydelsefulla personerna under 1900-talet. Yogananda, känd som den första superstjärnan bland gurus, har haft en bestående inverkan på den moderna yoga- och andlighetsscenen, särskilt i västvärlden.

Yoganandas betydelse och arv

Goldberg utforskar Yoganandas liv och läror, inklusive hans ikoniska memoarer, Autobiography of a Yogi, som har sålt miljontals exemplar sedan publiceringen 1946. Trots att denna bok har haft stor inverkan, lämnar den många aspekter av Yoganandas liv oförklarade, särskilt de tre decennier han tillbringade i Amerika. Goldberg fyller dessa luckor och ger en mer komplett bild av Yoganandas utmaningar, relationer och erfarenheter.

Om boken

Bokförlag: Hay House UK Ltd ISBN: 9781401952204 Omfång: 360 s. Språk: Engelska Utgivningsdatum: 2020-01-07 Förlagets information A brilliant account of what history will recognize as one of the most significant lives of the 20th century (Ken Wilber, author of The Religion of Tomorrow). Paramahansa Yogananda was called the 20th century's first superstar guru (Los Angeles Times), and today, nearly a century after he arrived in the United States, he's still the best known and most beloved of all the Indian spiritual teachers who have come to the West. In this captivating book, newly available in paperback, Yogananda's story finally has the authoritative telling it deserves. Considered by many to be the father of modern yoga, Yogananda 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. 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. 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.
