Publisher's Summary

When Autobiography of a Yogi first appeared in 1946, it was acclaimed as a landmark work in its field. The New York Times hailed it as "a rare account". Newsweek pronounced it "fascinating". The San Francisco Chronicle declared, "Yogananda presents a convincing case for yoga, and those who 'came to scoff' may remain 'to pray." Today it is still one of the most widely read and respected books ever published on the wisdom of the East.

This audio edition, featuring Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley's masterful narration, contains the complete text of Paramahansa Yogananda's life story, an absorbing account of a singular search for Truth. Yogananda describes his experiences with modern-day saints and illuminated masters of India, and presents a definitive introduction to the whole science and philosophy of Yoga.

Amazing experience to the land of spirituality.

I was not aware of kriya yoga and have purchased this book on recommendations of one of my colleague. a truly inspiring autobiography which takes you to a different realm of consciousness. after a point of time you seem to follow Swami Yogananda Paramhansa in his miraculous journey in India and beyond. Another major part is the detailed information that Swamiji have provided of the great Yogis of India and their extraordinary life. A must read.

Absolutely delighted

This book reached me just at the right moment when I had started to understand the laws of this universe. I never believed in miracles and supernatural but this book came to me just at the time I was prepared to receive its wisdom.

Swami Yogananda may have left his physical body long ago but this book keeps his presence eternal.

Thank you Yogananda ji . I wish I could get the divine guidance like you and your Gurus.

Very enlightening book

I'd read this book earlier also, but this rendition by the master, Ben Kingsley has added a new dimension to this book. I loved listening to this audio, and would love to listen to it again. Recommend reading/ listening by all youngsters too, early in their life.

Life changing story

If you really listen to the story it will certainly influence you, your thoughts and life. While listening to it, I felt what a waste I’m doing to myself by being into habits. So I don’t smoke anymore. Drinking too reduced to rarely from regularly! Swami ji has changed my life.. Highly recommend
