The Yogi
Portraits of Swami Vishnu-Devananda By Gopala Krishna
A charming look at Swami Vishnu, "The Flying Swami" who came to the West and
took it by storm teaching, writing and spreading his message of universal
love. Trade Paper. The author paints an intriguing portrait of Swami Vishnu-Devananda, the man and the saint, from his foibles and idiosyncrasies to his profound spiritual wisdom. We hear vivid tales of his early life in India, anecdotes about the founding of his many yoga centers, and fond remembrances by students who sat at his feet to learn the ancient mysteries of yoga. |
