Description
A beautifully written account of an exceptional life, Autobiography of a Yogi is a profound introduction to the ancient science of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation. The book tells the inspiring chronicle of Paramahansa Yogananda's life, from his remarkable childhood to his thirty years of teaching in America, and includes his encounters with many spiritual personalities of East and West. With engaging candor, eloquence, and wit, Yogananda shares his experiences of training in a revered yoga master's hermitage and his meetings with notable figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore. This quality paperback edition includes a bonus audio CD with rare archival recordings of Yogananda. Extensive material has been added to this edition, including a final chapter on the closing years of Yogananda's life, which offers a unique insight into his later years. With over 50 translations and millions of copies sold, Autobiography of a Yogi remains a widely read and influential work of religious literature.
