Paramahansa Yogananda (born Mukunda Lal Ghosh; January 5, 1893 – March 7, 1952) was an Indian Hindu monk, yogi and guru who introduced millions to the teachings of meditation and Kriya Yoga through his organization Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) / Yogoda Satsanga Society (YSS) of India, and who lived his last 32 years in America. A chief disciple of the Bengali yoga guru Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, he was sent by his lineage to spread the teachings of yoga to the West, to prove the unity between Eastern and Western religions and to preach a balance between Western material growth and Indian spirituality.His long-standing influence in the American yoga movement, and especially the yoga culture of Los Angeles, led him to be considered by yoga experts as the "Father of Yoga in the West." Yogananda was the first major Indian teacher to settle in America, and the first prominent Indian to be hosted in the White House (by President Calvin Coolidge in 1927); his early acclaim led to him being dubbed "the 20th century's first superstar guru" by the Los Angeles Times. Arriving in Boston in 1920, he embarked on a successful transcontinental speaking tour before settling in Los Angeles in 1925. For the next two and a half decades, he gained local fame as well as expanded his influence worldwide: he created a monastic order and trained disciples, went on teaching-tours, bought properties for his organization in various California locales, and initiated thousands into Kriya Yoga. By 1952, SRF had over 100 centers in both India and the US; today, they have groups in nearly every major American city. His "plain living and high thinking" principles attracted people from all backgrounds among his followers.

Allan Bloom was born in 1930 in Indianapolis, Indiana. At his death in 1992, Bloom was the John U. Nef Distinguished Service Professor in the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago and co-director of the John M. Olin Center for Inquiry into the Theory and Practice of Democracy. Bloom is best known to the general public for his 1987 best seller The Closing of the American Mind, a critique of American university education and an analysis of the growing influence of Nietzsche and other European philosophers on popular and academic discourse in America. Even before the publication of Closing, however, liberal education was a major theme of Bloom’s work, central to his interpretation of Plato’s Republic and Rousseau’s Emile as works devoted to philosophic education. Bloom’s translations of classic texts represent another enduring element of his legacy. His translations of Plato’s Republic (1968) and Rousseau’s Emile (1979) are considered by many scholars to be the best in the English language. An admired, devoted, and inimitable teacher, Bloom was the inspiration for the title character of Ravelstein, a novel by Bloom’s friend and University of Chicago colleague Saul Bellow.

Lieutenant-Colonel James Tod (1782 – 1835) was an English-born officer of the British East India Company and an Oriental scholar. He combined his official role and his amateur interests to create a series of works about the history and geography of India, and in particular the Rajasthan. Tod published a number of academic works about Indian history and geography, most notably Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, based on materials collected during his travels. He retired from the military in 1826, and married Julia Clutterbuck that same year. Tod's major works have been criticised as containing significant inaccuracies and bias, but he is highly regarded in some areas of India, particularly in communities whose ancestors he praised. His accounts of the Rajputs and of India in general had a significant effect on British views of the area for many years.

Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy (22 August 1877 − 9 September 1947) was a metaphysician, pioneering historian and great philosopher of Indian art. Coomaraswamy made important contributions to the philosophy of art, literature, and religion. One of Coomaraswamy’s most important contributions was his profound understanding of how people communicated in early times and how their ideas were transmitted and preserved in the absence of writing. He felt that traditional symbolism could best be understood by means of images, which preceded writing and which contained ideas that had been handed down from the earliest times and preserved in a vast array of media.

Philip Goff is a British author, philosopher and consciousness researcher, specializing in philosophy of mind at Durham University, UK. His research focuses on integrating consciousness into the scientific worldview. He holds that materialism is incoherent and that, on the other hand, dualism leads to “complexity, discontinuity and mystery”[1] Instead he supports a “third way”, a version of Russellian idealist monism which attempts to account for the intrinsic nature of reality by positing that consciousness is itself a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of the physical world. “The basic commitment is that the fundamental constituents of reality—perhaps electrons and quarks—have incredibly simple forms of experience.

Raghunandhan (Raghu) Bhaskaran is a Bharathi and like many today, he for long, ignored his heritage and was focused towards Artha, to the exclusion of the other Purusharthas and is yet another IT consultant. But now he is increasingly a seeker of what it means to be a Hindu, a follower of Dharma in every sphere of life - personal, social, cultural and political. Towards this, he uses writing as a sadhana, to attain clarity and shares his learning with others, learns from others. He considers himself as the 'Mongoose of Mahabharatha', from the Ashwamedha Parva. Serendipity has led him to some yagna-salas, the works/company of some wonderful people - from heritage, family, friends, teachers and even on social media. He rolls around in the crumbs of their wisdom and some stick to him. And he shines in parts, from those borrowed crumbs of knowledge.

Like most of the present day Hindus, I was also infected with the virus of Sickularism and used to live under the false notion of "All religions are same and equal" which is not only blatantly false but also highly self-destructive for Hindus. Then by the divine grace of Śrī Rāma, I came across the books of two of the greatest scholars and intellectuals of Hindu society, Sri Sita Ram Goel ji and Sri Ram Swarup ji, which completely changed my outlook and understanding of Sanātana Dharma as well as that of the Abrahamic faiths. Trying to be the squirrel of Rāmasetu and contribute my little bit for the cause of Dharma.

Maria Wirth is a German and came to India on a stop over (that’s at least what she thought) on her way to Australia after finishing her psychology studies at Hamburg University. She visited the Ardha Kumbha Mela in Haridwar in April 1980 where she met Sri Anandamayi Ma and Devaraha Baba, two renowned saints. With their blessing she continued to live in India and never went to Australia… She dived into India’s spiritual tradition, sharing her insights with German readers through articles and books. For long, she was convinced that every Indian knows and treasures his great heritage. However, when in recent years, she noticed that there seemed to be a concerted effort to prevent even Indians (and the world) from knowing how valuable this ancient Indian heritage is, she started to point out the unique value of Indian tradition also in English language and shares them on this blog. She is also the author of the book “Thank you India – a German woman’s journey to the wisdom of yoga”.

Philip Goff is a British author, philosopher and consciousness researcher, specializing in philosophy of mind at Durham University, UK. His research focuses on integrating consciousness into the scientific worldview. He holds that materialism is incoherent and that, on the other hand, dualism leads to “complexity, discontinuity and mystery”[1] Instead he supports a “third way”, a version of Russellian idealist monism which attempts to account for the intrinsic nature of reality by positing that consciousness is itself a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of the physical world. “The basic commitment is that the fundamental constituents of reality—perhaps electrons and quarks—have incredibly simple forms of experience.

Like most of the present day Hindus, I was also infected with the virus of Sickularism and used to live under the false notion of "All religions are same and equal" which is not only blatantly false but also highly self-destructive for Hindus. Then by the divine grace of Śrī Rāma, I came across the books of two of the greatest scholars and intellectuals of Hindu society, Sri Sita Ram Goel ji and Sri Ram Swarup ji, which completely changed my outlook and understanding of Sanātana Dharma as well as that of the Abrahamic faiths. Trying to be the squirrel of Rāmasetu and contribute my little bit for the cause of Dharma.

Raghunandhan (Raghu) Bhaskaran is a Bharathi and like many today, he for long, ignored his heritage and was focused towards Artha, to the exclusion of the other Purusharthas and is yet another IT consultant. But now he is increasingly a seeker of what it means to be a Hindu, a follower of Dharma in every sphere of life - personal, social, cultural and political. Towards this, he uses writing as a sadhana, to attain clarity and shares his learning with others, learns from others. He considers himself as the 'Mongoose of Mahabharatha', from the Ashwamedha Parva. Serendipity has led him to some yagna-salas, the works/company of some wonderful people - from heritage, family, friends, teachers and even on social media. He rolls around in the crumbs of their wisdom and some stick to him. And he shines in parts, from those borrowed crumbs of knowledge.

Raghunandhan (Raghu) Bhaskaran is a Bharathi and like many today, he for long, ignored his heritage and was focused towards Artha, to the exclusion of the other Purusharthas and is yet another IT consultant. But now he is increasingly a seeker of what it means to be a Hindu, a follower of Dharma in every sphere of life - personal, social, cultural and political. Towards this, he uses writing as a sadhana, to attain clarity and shares his learning with others, learns from others. He considers himself as the 'Mongoose of Mahabharatha', from the Ashwamedha Parva. Serendipity has led him to some yagna-salas, the works/company of some wonderful people - from heritage, family, friends, teachers and even on social media. He rolls around in the crumbs of their wisdom and some stick to him. And he shines in parts, from those borrowed crumbs of knowledge.

John Lash (b. 1945, New York City) has been called the true successor of Mircea Eliade and the rightful heir of Joseph Campbell. Unlike those two world-class academics, John is a self-educated free-lance scholar who combines studies and experimental mysticism to teach directive mythology: that is, the application of myth to life, rather than its mere interpretation. He is a leading exponent of the power of myth to direct individual experience and drive historical events over the long term. An expert on sidereal mythology, naked-eye astronomy, precession, and the World Ages, he also teaches the critique of belief-systems. On metahistory.org, he presents a radical revision of Gnosticism, with original commentaries on the Nag Hammadi codices. He also presents the only complete restoration by any scholar of the Sophianic myth of the Pagan Mysteries, the sacred story of Gaia-Sophia, recounting the origin of the earth and the human species from the galactic core.
