ANUSARA YOGA – AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO TRANSFORM LIVES
In the quest of Yoga and Anusara Yoga, like its history, how it has been spread, and by whom in the Western Countries, then we have to look back to the 18th century. Swami Vivekananda was the first man who travelled to Western countries in the year 1863 to popularize Yoga. He visited several Western countries and participated in numerous world meetings to propagate Indian Yoga Culture and its importance in human life.
After Swami Vivekananda, Paramhansa Yogananda traveled to the Western Country to propagate Yoga. In the year 1896, another renowned Indian Yoga Guru, Shivpuri Baba traveled to England upon getting an invitation from Queen Victoria to give her lessons on Yoga privately.
In the year 1901, after the death of Queen Victoria, Shivpuri Baba stepped into America and met with then-President Theodore Roosevelt. During the period of 1924 AD, the United States imposed immigration limits on Indians, and then Theos Casimir Bernard decided to visit India to learn Yoga. He came to Calcutta, India, and learned Yoga possibly from Yogendra.
