"I fervently hope that the bell that tolled this morning in honour of this convention may be the death-knell of all fanaticism, of all persecutions with the sword or with the pen, and of all uncharitable feelings between persons wending their way to the same goal." Then the mother takes the rice-pot down from the hearth, runs in haste, and takes the child in her arms." But when the child no longer relishes the toys, it throws them aside and yells for its mother. But who weeps for God? So long as the child remains engrossed with its toys, the mother looks after her cooking and other household duties. The article concludes with a reappraisal of the historical importance given to the figures of Vivekananda and Yogananda and suggests that their careers and legacies in the United States are best understood within this larger context of early American yoga.Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda "Can you weep for Him with intense longing of heart? Men shed a jugful of tears for the sake of their children, for their wives, or for money. Teachers of yoga were overwhelmingly of a type - educated, cultured, and professionally savvy - and students were largely female, affluent, and invested in American metaphysical religion. Early American yoga was not centered on books or specific figures, but rather upon an active and widespread network of travelling teachers who gave tiered levels of instruction through public lectures, private classes, and dyadic relationships. It argues that early American yoga was not physical or postural, but primarily mental and magical. Using a combination of primary sources, archival materials, and popular writing from the period, it offers a detailed and data-based understanding of the first half of yoga’s history in the United States by describing what yoga was, where and how it was taught, and who its teachers and students were during this time. This article provides an overview to what the author has termed “early American yoga,” yoga as it was understood in the United States from the late-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century.
