In the mid-1960s, my aunt, a dynamic young journalist in New York City, was sent on assignment to cover the first Swami who opened an ashram in the heart of Manhattan. She was enchanted by the warmth and joy that Swami Satchitananda exuded. Growing up in Boston, she had never seen anything like this. On her next visit home, she was exuberant as she described to her mother and sister (my mother), the billowing incense, the dancing, the radiant people and the infectious charisma of this guru. My aunt was an ambitious, tough, hard-edged reporter—what happened?
My flinty New England family was dismissive and laughed at this new passion (she was known for her passions), but I was intrigued. In elementary school, this seemed a lot more interesting than anything happening in suburban Boston, or the uptight temple where we went to worship.
