A chief disciple of the yoga guru Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, he was sent by his lineage to spread the teachings of yoga to the West. He immigrated to America at the age of 27 to prove the unity between Eastern and Western religions and to preach a balance between Western material growth and Indian spirituality.

He lived his last 32 years in America. <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramahansa_Yogananda wiki]</ref> | ||
