Opinion:  How Yoga Won the West
By ANN LOUISE BARDACH

More than a century ago, an Indian monk wowed Americans with his ideas.

"The Indian monk, born Narendranath Datta to an aristocratic Calcutta family, alighted in Chicago in 1893 in ochre robes and turban, with little money after a daunting two-month trek from Bombay. Notwithstanding the fact that he had spent the previous night sleeping in a boxcar, the young mystic made an electrifying appearance at the opening of the august Parliament of Religions that Sept. 11."
