Description
Autobiography of a Yogi is an autobiography written by Paramahansa Yogananda in which he discusses his life story, and which introduced many Westerners to meditation and yoga. Self-Realization Fellowship, the publisher, has since translated the book into 28 languages and says that: “with the passing years 'thousands of readers' became millions, and the enduring and universal appeal of Autobiography of a Yogi has become increasingly apparent. It is still appearing on spiritual and inspirational best-seller lists sixty years after it was first published — a rare phenomenon! The book describes Yogananda's search for a guru, and his encounters with leading spiritual figures such as Therese Neumann, the Hindu saint Sri Anandamoyi Ma, Mohandas Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Sir C. V. Raman, and noted American plant scientist Luther Burbank, to whom it is dedicated.
