But what about those &#8220;other&#8221; religions that come from the East? Our guest this week, Philip Goldberg, is an expert on how and why Americans have flocked to Eastern religions over the past half-century, and the impact this migration has had on our national consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>He speaks from experience. Growing up in a non-religious Jewish-Marxist household, Philip found his own way to spirituality by becoming a student of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and a teacher of Transcendental Meditation. His book <em>American Veda: From Emerson and the Beatles to Yoga and Meditation, How Indian Spirituality Changed the West <\/em>offers a rich account of his own spiritual development, and an enlightening history of how the Vedic tradition and &#8220;perennial wisdom&#8221; developed in the wake of the transcendentalist movement in the 1800s.<\/p>\n<p>His latest book is a comprehensive biography of Paramahansa Yogananda titled <strong><em>The Life of Yogananda: The Story of the Yogi Who Became the First Modern Guru<\/em><\/strong>. Philip is also a meditation teacher and ordained Interfaith Minister, and also the cohost of the popular Spirit Matters podcast and leads American Veda Tours to India.<\/p>\n<p>Philip and I have another interesting connection that dates back to before we knew one another. We both attended John Marshall Junior High in Brooklyn, a school notorious as one of the &#8220;worst&#8221; in New York City, where the principal actually took his own life in despair about crime at his school. He and I also share a common spiritual tradition from our childhood. No, not Judaism &#8212; the Brooklyn Dodgers. In addition to his well-researched works on Eastern spirituality in America, he is the author of an autobiographical novel about the year the Brooklyn Dodgers won the World Series, <em>&#8220;This Is Next Year.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re curious about how Eastern wisdom can inform our current political &#8220;shituation&#8221; and enjoyed reading <em>Autobiography of a Yogi<\/em> back in the day, you&#8217;ll appreciate Philip going deeper into how and why Yogananda came to the U.S., his reception here, and his enduring influence.<\/p>\n<p>As an indication of where Philip is coming from, here is a quote from his website:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAmerican democracy can flourish only when citizens are united, at a deep level that transcends ideology, race, and class, to a shared spiritual and moral vision of what America should be.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you recognize that the heart and soul of who we are includes and transcends both religion and non-religion, please join us this Tuesday, October 2nd at 2 pm PT \/ 5 pm ET. : <a href=\"http:\/\/omtimes.com\/iom\/shows\/wiki-politiki-radio-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">http:\/\/omtimes.com\/iom\/shows\/wiki-politiki-radio-show\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Or, find us on the Wiki archives on Wednesday: <a href=\"http:\/\/wikipolitiki.com\/archives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">http:\/\/wikipolitiki.com\/archives\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Philip Goldberg can be found online at: <a href=\"http:\/\/philipgoldberg.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">http:\/\/philipgoldberg.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Support Wiki Politiki &#8212; A Clear Voice In The &#8220;Bewilderness&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>If you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, &#8220;put your money where your mouse is&#8221; &#8230;<\/strong> Join the &#8220;upwising&#8221; &#8212; join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/wikipolitiki.com\/join-the-upwising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">http:\/\/wikipolitiki.com\/join-the-upwising\/<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Make a contribution in any amount via PayPal (<a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/y8fe9dks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/y8fe9dks<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!
