In the hundred years since the birth of Paramahansa Yogananda, he has come to be recognized as one of the preeminent spiritual figures of the twentieth century. His Autobiography of a Yogi has been translated into 18 languages and is regarded worldwide as a classic of religious literature — still appearing on bestseller lists today after more than fifty consecutive years in print. The author describes his experiences and training with modern-day saints and illuminated masters of India, and explains with scientific clarity the subtle but definite laws by which yogis perform miracles and attain self-mastery. Profoundly inspiring, it is at the same time vastly entertaining — warmly humorous and filled with extraordinary personages, not the least of whom is the narrator himself.
Autobiography of a Yogi is at once an absorbing account of a singular search for Truth and a comprehensive introduction to the whole science and philosophy of Yoga, revealing the underlying unity of the great religions of East and West. First published in 1946, the book was revised by Paramahansa Yogananda before his passing in 1952; extensive material was added, including the last chapter. The present edition also includes an additional 20 pages of photographs.
