Based on the documentary film Awake: the Life of Yogananda, by Paola di Florio and Lisa Leeman, this stunning companion book features the entire documentary screenplay interwoven with over 400 spectacular four-color visuals, including a considerable collection of rare archival photos of Paramahansa Yogananda. The feature documentary Awake: the Life of Yogananda, produced by CounterPoint Films with cooperation from Self-Realization Fellowship, has seen box office sales surpass one million dollars; a feat that few documentaries ever realize.
This companion book presents a visual feast taking us from holy pilgrimages in India to Harvard's Divinity School and its cutting-edge physics labs, from the Center for Science and Spirituality at the University of Pennsylvania to the Chopra Center in Carlsbad, California. Included are behind the scenes insights and commentary from filmmakers Paola di Florio, Lisa Leeman and Peter Rader, as well as interviews with Krishna Das, George Harrison, Ravi Shankar and many others.
