Akshay Kumar Mozumdar (1881–1953) was a prominent Indian American spiritual teacher and a key figure in the early 20th-century New Thought Movement. Born in India, he immigrated to the U.S. in 1904, gaining citizenship in 1913. His life became a legal landmark when his citizenship was revoked following the United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind ruling. Despite this systemic discrimination, Mozumdar continued his work, blending Eastern philosophy with Western metaphysics. Following the passage of the Luce–Celler Act, he successfully regained his American citizenship in 1950. He remained an influential lecturer and author until his death in San Diego.
