Tracing the history and influence of Indian spirituality in the United States, author Philip Goldberg reveals how Hinduism and Vedic tradition have permeated American thought and influenced the way we eat, pray, love, and meditate. In a work that is both highly informative and compulsively readable, author Philip Goldberg provides us with a fascinating look at the gurus of India whose ancient and contemporary teachings have shaped American culture over the last two hundred years in ways many people would never expect. Profiling such luminaries as Yogananda, Vivekananda, and Maharishi, as well as a host of other influential holy men and women, American Veda is an eye-opening popular history and an entertaining exploration of the mind, body, and spirit.
