Description
A Spiritual Classic That Has Inspired Millions
First published in 1946, Autobiography of a Yogi is the life story of Paramahansa Yogananda, one of the first Indian spiritual masters to bring the teachings of yoga and meditation to the West. Blending mystical experiences with candid personal reflections, this book offers a rare window into the spiritual traditions of India and the universal truths that transcend religion.
Through his encounters with saints, sages, and seekers, Yogananda introduces readers to a world where the divine is tangible, miracles are real, and the purpose of life is self-realization. From his childhood in Bengal to his spiritual mission in America, every chapter is filled with insight, humour, and profound wisdom.
