Publisher's Summary

Paramhansa Yogananda was the first yoga master of India whose mission it was to permanently live and teach in the West. In the 1920s, as he criss-crossed the United States on what he called his "spiritual campaigns", his enthusiastic audiences filled the largest halls of America. His initial impact was truly impressive. But his lasting influence is greater still.

This audiobook, the version of which was first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution in the West. Only rarely does a sage of Paramhansa Yogananda's stature write a firsthand account of his life experiences. Followers of many religious traditions have come to recognize Autobiography of a Yogi as a masterpiece of spiritual literature. Yet, for all its depth, it is full of gentle humor, lively stories, and practical common sense. Now, with this audiobook, the 1946 edition is again available, with all its inherent power, just as the great master of yoga first presented it.

Life changing book

This book will change your life .
The voice over might sound quite western in nature for an Indian ear and it’s almost perfect but not absolutely perfect.
But this book is simply the best book I have read in my 40 years of life.

Life changing!

You should definitely go through this book to understand the cosmos is a much much better way. One of the best Autobiographies ive read. Also, it will teach you much more than whats written in the books.
The way of life shared here is of utmost importance specially in a world of today which dwells on materialistic pleasures rather than internal spiritual pleasures.
Its not talking about the Hindu Gods or hyms for their prayers.. but telling about the vast cosmos and astral knowledge that we all should know.

thanks for the book.

Good Book

Narration was ok. Words used in book are highly grammatical.

Should have included last days of Swami Yogananda.

This book will ignite a spiritual desire in reader’s mind

This is my first audio book and I must say it is a memorable one. I had a problem of starting a book but never get to finish it. This is my first book that I started and I didn’t wanted it to end. Anyone seeking self realisation or starting a spiritual journey would love this book. Beautiful narration makes you believe that you’re living the experience and short chapters makes it very interesting. Thank you Swami Kriyananda ji 🙏

Incredible book about incredible personalities

A great book that arouse one to believe in miracles. It greatly enhances the perception of a common person about spirituality and what possibilities exist within reach if one opens him/herself to the kriya yoga suggested in the book. Hope everyone gets to read this book at least once and be blessed by the descriptions of Guru's and their blissful aura that radiates through the thoughts of the writer.

Wonders of a YOGIs life

A wonderful treatise of a great spiritual journey... Yogis live life of such higher order unless we are told and taken through their experiences we have no way of knowing... Paramahamsa Yogananda did such a big favour to us by writing his life as this book, and is effectively recorded by Swami Kriyannda for our benefit. A must for every spiritual seeker

Audio very poor

i found the narration was very poor. Not sure whether it was recording quality but one can listen heavy breathing of the narrator while he is speaking. It was suppressing his voice. Also, i feel narrator could do better interms of pronunciating some words. I mean if this is professional recording then there is always chance to practice and correct the pronunciation. i was very disappointed with performance overall.
