This work is not an attack on Hinduism. It is not meant to influence American citizens by pointing to a foreign menace. Nor is it a defense of Hinduism. It is simply a study of the amazing adventure of an Eastern faith in a Western land. Accordingly, it is not a collection of curious or sensational anecdotes about a few of the many Hindu swamis & yogis visiting these shores, but an account of the serious impact on American life of Hindu philosophy & culture especially in the form of organized religion. Sample contents: Hindu movements in America; classic Vedanta; Saint Ramakrishna; Vivekananda.
