The Allure of India

Anandamayi Ma and Yogananda

Hermann Hesse:  "Now in comparison with this narrow and pinched form of Christianity, with these somewhat mawkish hymns, these generally so boring ministers and sermons, the world of Indian religion and poetry was frankly far more inviting. Here no such oppressive narrowness, no smell of the sober gray paint of pulpits or of pietistic Bible hours; my imagination had room, I could welcome without resistance the first messages that reached me from the world of India and they have continued all my life to have their effect on me."
