We are very happy to offer you (in collaboration with the University of South Carolina) this original video footage of Swami Yogananda visiting New York in 1923. Yogananda arrived in America in 1920, and proceeded to teach throughout the United States. Hundreds of thousands filled the largest halls in major American cities to see the yoga master from India.
Paramhansa Yogananda’s initial impact on the western culture was truly impressive. But his lasting spiritual legacy has been even greater. His “Autobiography of a Yogi”, first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution in the West.
