Dr. Phulgenga Sinha was born at Patna in the Indian State of Bihar, under rather humble beginnings. Bihar State is well known for being the birthplace of several notable Indian sages such as Kapila and Siddharth the Buddha, which may have had an influence upon the young Sinha. In 1965 he founded the Yoga Institute of Washington. However, he had never pursued the practice seriously until he went to America. He taught Yoga primarily to support his academic studies. But, his main interest was in political science and the social transformation of Indian society after British colonial rule. Dr. Sinha was briefly aligned with Praja Socialist Party and was close friends with other activist like the famous Indian political scientist George Fernandes. But, his true mentor was Jayaprakash Narayan who inspired his impassioned mission to find ways to better Indian society.
