Major aspects of his life — including personal trials, public controversies, setbacks, achievements, friendships, and formative turning points — remain unfamiliar even to many dedicated admirers. In this engrossing biography, author and spiritual scholar \u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003ePhilip Goldberg\u003c\/span\u003e addresses those omissions, mapping a life that stretched across six decades, two continents, two world wars, and a time of dramatic global change. The result is a clear-eyed, deeply researched portrait that reveals the full scope, subtlety, and human depth of Yogananda’s extraordinary life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Psychic News Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57208228118853,"sku":null,"price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/9641\/9909\/files\/TheLifeOfYogananda.jpg?v=1771611847","url":"https:\/\/www.psychicnewsbooks.com\/products\/the-life-of-yogananda-the-story-of-the-yogi-who-became-the-first-modern-guru-hardcover-360-pages-by-philip-goldberg","provider":"Psychic News Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
