Study for Yogananda Portrait

Description

The preliminary sketch for my next watercolor portrait.

This is Mr. Mukunda Ghosh.
Although he is better known to the world as Paramahansa Yogananda.
An Indian Guru who started a very interesting spiritual movement here in the American-west back in the 1930s and 1940s.
His #1 bestselling book at that time, "The Autobiography of a Yogi" and his Kriya Yoga teachings to the spiritually hungry American masses, was very well received.

As India's official delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals convening in Boston, he arrived in America in the 1920s and later founded the Self-Realization Fellowship, headquartered in Los Angeles Ca.
I guess you could say I consider him my hero.
