There's a very interesting review of the book American Veda by Philip Goldberg. The book tells the story of a new American tradition, derived from both the practices of yoga, and the philosophy of Vedanta. The reviewer, Michael J Altman, acknowledges that while Theosophists, Christian Scientists, Transcendentalists, and New Thoughters were influenced by Vedic texts, Emanuel Swedenborg and Franz Anton Mesmer has much if not more influence on these groups as Vedic texts.
