This intimate and insightful account of the life of Dr. Harry (Hari) Dickman, referred to by Swami Sivananda as “the yogi of the West,” features more than fifty years of correspondence between Dickman and well-known yoga masters such as Swami Sivananda, Ramana Maharshi, Paramhansa Yogananda, and almost one hundred others. Marion (Mugs) McConnell, Dickman’s student, has created a brilliant and loving tribute to her teacher, who founded the Latvian Yoga Society in the early 1930s and later spread his knowledge in the U.S. with the blessings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi. Offering a broad range of information on yoga history, theory, and techniques from a variety of different paths, Letters from the Yoga Masters contains a treasure trove of previously unavailable material and presents detailed teachings about pranayama, mudras, diet, and much more, all interwoven with stories and personal anecdotes. Taken together, the rare correspondence and personal chronicles provide an unparalleled glimpse into the life of a yogi, the development of yoga in the West, and the ways that spiritual wealth is disseminated across generations.

Discover the Supreme Joy in the original roots of yoga! In modern society, yoga has become an unstoppable avalanche. The well-being it brings is enormous, but this becomes even greater if we immerse ourselves in its essence, in its very core, in its original roots. And who better to guide us than Patanjali, the father of yoga? His Yoga Sutras are the way towards supreme happiness, step by step, day by day. Patanjali, however, lived centuries ago and it is not always easy to see how to apply his valuable teachings in an effective and relevant way. In these pages you will receive help from one of the great spiritual masters of our times, Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the wellknown spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi. Thanks to Yogananda’s commentaries, you will find yourself able to apply each of Patanjali’s first thirty-one Yoga Sutras to your daily life, to your meditation, to the yoga asanas and to understanding yourself. Through an imaginary dialogue between Patanjali and one of his disciples, you will be presented with: Each sutra in the original Sanscrit with an English translation An explanation of the sutra’s deeper meaning Hints for experimenting with it in your meditations Instructions for applying it to the yoga asanas Inspiration for applying it to your daily life A guide for self-analysis for each sutra.

Transnational Yoga at Work: Spiritual Tourism and Its Blind Spots is an ethnography about local wageworkers in the Indian branches of a transnational yoga institution and about yoga practitioners and spiritual tourists who visualize peace through yoga. Practitioners’ aspirations for peace situate them at the heart of an international movement that has captured the imagination of cosmopolitans the world over, with its purported benefits to mind, body, and spirit. Yoga is thought to offer health, vitality, and relief from depression through control of body and breath. Yet, the vision of peace in this institution is a partial vision that obscures the important but seemingly peripheral others of its self-conception. Through in-depth ethnographic analysis, this book explores the processes through which global spiritual movements can have peace front and center in their vision and yet condone and perpetuate cycles of injustice and social inequality that form the critical and problematic foundations of our global economy. The book privileges the experiences and hardships faced by Indian wageworkers—most of them women —but it also offers a sympathetic portrayal of international yoga practitioners and of the complex patterns of work and worship central to a global mission.
