His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi: A Living Saint for the New Millennium : Stories of His First Visit to the USA

Helena and Roland Olson first encountered the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1959 during his first visit to the United States. He resided at their Los Angeles home for more than three months, making it his base of operations.

The present book is a commemorative reprint of the Olson's 1967 original, with a new preface and eight appendixes added by Theresa Olson, their youngest daughter, who was ten years old when she met the Maharishi in 1959.

The Maharishi not only temporarily took over their home but changed their lives completely for the better. The Olsons, who write in a pleasant, straightforward style, are unabashedly effusive (not to say cloying) in their adulation of this "living saint."

Some readers will find their approach refreshingly heartwarming; skeptics will see the Maharishi as highly charismatic and controlling and the Olsons as easily manipulated. Even so, this book gives valuable insight into American's interest in Indian faiths.
