How Indian Spirituality Changed the World with Philip GoldbergLivestreaming Thursday, 27 April 2023 at 7:00 AM PST/10:00 AM EST on OMTimes Magazine Facebook, OMTimes Radio & TV Facebook, OMTimesTV Youtube and the Sandie Sedgbeer Facebook PageIn February 1968 the Beatles went to India for an extended stay with their new guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. According to spiritual counsellor, meditation teacher, and author, Philip Goldberg, that may have been the most momentous spiritual retreat since Jesus spent those 40 days in the wilderness.When the Beatles took up Transcendental Meditation and visited the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in India, it was a watershed moment in East-meets-West history. But long before the Maharishi there was Yogananda and Swami Vivekananda who was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian teachings of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world. Now America is becoming a nation of yogis. Moreover, the adaptation of ancient Indian wisdom into modern western culture and the incorporation of yogic methods into the spiritual landscape have been more transformative than people realize. How and why this came about is the topic of this week's conversation with Philip Goldberg.PHILIP GOLDBERG is a Spiritual Counselor, meditation teacher, public speaker, workshop leader, writing coach, ordained interfaith minister, and the author of several books including American Veda – from Emerson and the Beatles to Yoga and Meditation – How Indian Spirituality Changed the West, and The Life Of Yogananda – The Story of the Yogi who became the first modern guru.Connect with Philip at https://www.philipgoldberg.com/#PhilipGoldberg #IndianSpirituality #SandieSedgbeer #WhatIsGoingOMVisit the What Is Going OM show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/what-is-going-omConnect with Sandie Sedgbeer at https://www.sedgbeer.comSubscribe to our Newsletter https://omtimes.com/subscribe-omtimes-magazine/Connect with OMTimes on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Omtimes.Magazine/ and OMTimes Radio https://www.facebook.com/ConsciousRadiowebtv.OMTimes/Twitter: https://twitter.com/OmTimes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omtimes/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/OMTimesTVLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/2798417/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/omtimes/

It is unquestionable that Vedic culture & tradition has had a remarkable impact on the West. The ancient philosophy of Yoga Vedanta has profoundly affected the worldview of millions of people all around the world. It started in the late 18th century in the USA & some major European countries, and in the 1960s it reached an absolute cultural explosion, following the Beatles trip to India for an extended stay with their new guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. After that, in the past few decades, the rise of technology and social media took care of making these teachings accessible to almost anyone in the world. The impact has been enormous, enlarging our current understanding of the mind and body and dramatically changing how we view ourselves and our place in the cosmos.  On this episode of the Vital Veda Podcast I had the pleasure of sitting down for a chat with Phillip Goldberg, the world-renowned author of American Veda, a book that chronicles the impact of India's spiritual teachings on the West, and was named one of the top 10 Religion books of the year by Huffington Post and Library Journal.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

Do you sometimes feel that life has become almost too complicated – not to say crazy - And not just since the onset of the Covid19 Pandemic… Just a zap through the TV programs and we are inundated with news about: devastating floods and wild fires, hurricanes sweeping away millions of homes, Anti-Semitism and Racism and Pro-Democratic Demonstrations - be it in HK, Israel or Belarus. What about Brexit, Trade Wars and North Korea pushing for nuclear supremacy…the ice caps melting, soon more microplastic in our food than micronutrients…We hear about a stark rise in suicides (esp. women) and drug abuse…and I could go on and on… In his book he writes: ‘Spiritual Practice for Crazy Times' has the tools and techniques you need to access the sanctuary of peace and fortress of strength within you—at a moment's notice, in whatever time you have. We all have the sanctuary within us, question is how to access it!' He means that we are actually all already in peace within, just being distracted by the madness around us. We must learn to be part of the world but not off it, i.e. healthy sense of detachment is necessary to keep ones calm and center. Philips book is a collection of hands on tools like breathing, sensing, laughing, offering a path to calm down and face whatever we need to face in a conducive way.

We often hear the word unprecedented used to describe the COVID Pandemic, the resultant economic fallout, the egregious murder of George Floyd and the recognition that racism and racial violence are still very much a part of our culture, demonstrations and protests fraught with anger and responded to in anger, leadership that falls short of owning the title and overt anger, fear and uncertainty.

Aired Wednesday, 30 May 2018, 8:00 PM ETPhilip Goldberg – The Life of YoganandaThe word guru is used frequently in modern vernacular to imply an expert or master in a field. We hear about financial gurus, tech gurus and fashion gurus. The word guru comes from Sanskrit and translates as “spiritual teacher” and literally, a dispeller of darkness. When we think of modern gurus, perhaps Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Satya Sai Baba and Swami Satchidananda come to mind, but the first modern “superstar guru” was Yogananda. Ninety-seven years after his arrival in the United States and 65 years after his transition, Paramahansa Yogananda remains the best known and most beloved of all the Indian spiritual teachers who came to the west. This is because of the durability of his teachings and the institutions he created and inspired, including more than 600 centers worldwide, and his landmark memoir, Autobiography of a Yogi. The book has sold millions of copies since its publication in 1946, but there are huge gaps in the story it tells. Yoganada spent more than 39 of his 59 years in America, yet that period takes up less than 10 percent of his book. Major events in his life, including challenges, controversies, relationships, formative experiences, are still unknown even to the most ardent of his devotees.My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Philip Goldberg, has meticulously researched the life of Yoganada to share the rest of his story. Philip grew up in Brooklyn, New York and now lives in Los Angeles. A professional writer for more than forty years, he is author and co-author of some 25 books published in more than a dozen languages. He is also a skilled public speaker, workshop leader, spiritual counselor and the co-host of the popular podcast, Spirit Matters. He blogs at Huffington Post and Spirituality and Health, and contributes to other publications. His previous book, American Veda, chronicled the impact of India’s spiritual teachings on the West and was named one of the top ten Religion Books of 2010. His website is philipgoldberg.com and he joins me this week to discuss his just published book, The Life of Yogananda – The Story of the Yogi Who Became the First Modern Guru.

If you've been curious about the real story of the Autobiography of a Yogi, or want to grow closer to God, then do we have the Life of Yogananda show for you. Today I'll be talking with Philip Goldberg, best-selling author, spiritual counselor, interfaith minister, podcast host and the author of a brilliant new book, The Life of Yogananda. And that's just what I want to talk with him about today, about the story of the Yogi who became the first modern Guru, and what it means for us. The Life of Yogananda Self-Improvement and Self-Help Topics Include: How did Philip Goldberg become interested in Yogananda? What was Philip's spiritual path to awakening? How did he find Autobiography of a Yogi? Why did he write American Veda? Why did he want to share the human side of a guru? Who was Yogananda? What's he most know for? What were his early spiritual practices? What were his early synchronicities and miracles? What was his burning desire – and what can we learn from it? What was he continuously trying to do – and thankfully thwarted by his brother and father? How did he find his guru and what did his guru meant o him? How did he end up going to the West? What did he bring with him to the West? What synchronicities took place that brought him to the west? What were his biggest challenges – and what can we learn from them when he got to America?
