With engaging candor, eloquence, and wit,
Paramahansa Yogananda narrates the inspiring chronicle
of his life -- the experiences of his remarkable childhood,
encounters with many saints and sages during his youthful search
throughout India for an illumined teacher, ten years of training
in the hermitage of a revered yoga master, and the thirty years
that he lived and taught in America. He records as well his meetings
with Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Luther Burbank, the
Catholic stigmatist Therese Neumann, and other celebrated spiritual
personalities of East and West. Also included is extensive material
that he added after the first edition came out in 1946, with a
final chapter on the closing years of his life.
 Autobiography
of a Yogi is at once a delightful account of an exceptional
life and a profound introduction to the ancient science
of Yoga and its tradition of meditation. Clearly explaining
the subtle but definite laws behind the natural events of everyday
life as well as the extraordinary events considered miraculous,
the author reveals the scientific foundation underlying the great
religious paths of both East and West. His absorbing life story
thus becomes the background for a penetrating and unforgettable
look at the ultimate mysteries of human existence.
Considered a modern spiritual classic, this book has been translated
into eighteen languages and is used as a text and reference work
in numerous colleges and universities. A perennial bestseller
since it was first published fifty years ago, Autobiography
of a Yogi has found its way into the hearts of millions of
readers around the world.

has been nothing before, written in English or in any other
