With the help of The Beatles, those early days of transcendental meditation and consciousness raising started an upswing in the questioning of reality. Of course, there were other influences that brought eastern philosophies to America, such as Paramahansa Yogananda with The Self Realization Fellowship in the early part of the 20th century, but it took decades for interest in these new ways of thinking to take hold in The United States.
