Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda is a timeless spiritual classic that chronicles the author’s extraordinary life journey from his childhood in India to becoming one of the first great yoga masters to live and teach in the West. First published in 1946, the book blends personal memoir with profound spiritual insight, recounting Yogananda’s early mystical experiences, his intense search for truth, and his life-changing meeting with his guru, Sri Yukteswar Giri. Through vivid storytelling, he introduces readers to revered spiritual figures such as Lahiri Mahasaya and the legendary Mahavatar Babaji, sharing accounts of miracles, divine encounters, and higher states of consciousness while emphasizing the scientific and universal nature of meditation, particularly the practice of Kriya Yoga. The narrative also follows his journey to America in 1920 and the establishment of the Self-Realization Fellowship, through which he spread the teachings of yoga and the message of unity between science and religion. Inspiring and thought-provoking, this influential work presents a compelling exploration of self-realization, the guru-disciple tradition, and the harmony of all faiths, offering readers both a captivating life story and a practical spiritual guide.
