    Summary: 
    "In this critical biography, David Neumann tells the story of Yogananda's fascinating life and interprets his position in religious history, transnational modernity, and American culture as a reverse missionary who intentionally preached his message of Hindu yogic philosophy in a land that routinely sent its own evangelists to India.
