आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

(b. 1931) Modern Hindu teacher and
missionary, who since 1964 has spent
much of his life addressing Western
audiences. His teachings are largely
drawn from classical ideas on yoga and
stress the importance of vegetarianism,
discipline, and service to one’s guru. His
own lifestyle is austere and largely unostentatious, as an example to his followers. On one hand he is notable for his
attention to the arts—painting, poetry,
and music, particularly the bamboo
flute—and on the other for performing
prodigious feats of strength to demonstrate the power of mind over matter. He
is based in New York City, although like
many modern Hindu teachers, he travels throughout the world.
