I am reading this book after I stumbled on an article by the author in Huffington post.
This book explores about great yogis and gurus of past and present - from Swami Vivekananda, Ramana Maharishi, Jiddu krishnamurthi, Yogananda,Maharish yogi, Neemli Baba and others who made efforts to spread vedantic annd yogic prinicples of Hinduism in the West.
More about the book,with photos,videos here at AMERICAN VEDA,and of course a face book page
I wish the Hindu religion as practiced in India today stand for its high ideals.
