Autobiography of a Yogi (Complete Edition‪)‬

• 4.7 • 313 Ratings

Publisher Description

Autobiography of a Yogi  is at once a beautifully written account of an exceptional life and a profound introduction to the ancient science of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation. Profoundly inspiring, it is at the same time vastly entertaining, warmly humorous and filled with extraordinary personages. With engaging candor, eloquence, and wit, Paramahansa Yogananda tells the inspiring chronicle of his life: the experiences of his remarkable childhood, encounters with many saints and sages during his youthful search throughout India for an illumined teacher, ten years of training in the hermitage of a revered yoga master, and the thirty years that he lived and taught in America. Also recorded here are his meetings with Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Luther Burbank, the Catholic stigmatist Therese Neumann, and other celebrated spiritual personalities of East and West. The author clearly explains the subtle but definite laws behind both the ordinary events of everyday life and the extraordinary events commonly termed miracles. His absorbing life story becomes the background for a penetrating and unforgettable look at the ultimate mysteries of human existence.  Selected as "One of the 100 Best Spiritual Books of the Twentieth Century", Autobiography of a Yogi has been translated into more than 30 languages, and is regarded worldwide as a classic of religious literature. Several million copies have been sold, and it continues to appear on best-seller lists after more than sixty consecutive years in print. Self-Realization Fellowship's  editions, and none others, include extensive material added by the author after the first edition was published, including a final chapter on the closing years of his life.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY JAN 1, 2003

The original text of Yogananda's classic introduction to Eastern mysticism.

Customer Reviews

An artifact of a true master with otherworldly experience.

A must read for those seeking God

After stumbling upon this book I soon realized it was by no accident. Circumstances in my life had led me to seek God about how to deal with them, as I had done for the last 36 years. This time God's response was different. He was determined to draw me closer to him than ever before, and to change my way of seeing and dealing with him and my life concerns and life in general. He wanted me to know his loving ways towards me and all his creation, his sweet expressions of himself all around. The encounter and reading of this book is a small but critical part of this leg of my spiritual journey. And if you're seeking a closeness with God, wanting to hear his voice and learn from him, this book will give you insight and direction. My spiritual expression through my Judaic-Christian points of view have not been challenged by this book. Instead, I've found a deeper understanding and an appreciation for the foundational aspects of my religion. Read it and be blessed.

One of a kind book!

Anyone who is on a spiritual path, must read this book! IT is life changing

Autobiography of a Yogi

Named one of the "Top 100 Spiritual Books of the Twentieth Century," this work is a spiritual treasure and a modern scripture, read and revered by millions of truthseekers around the world. Now with bonus materials.

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. This is a verbatim reprinting of the original edition, now also including previously unreleased bonus materials.

This is the only available edition that contains:

• The original, unedited text, as written by Yogananda himself, free from posthumous changes introduced by others.
• An appendix containing the final chapter, written five years after this edition was first published, presented free from all changes made after Yogananda’s death.
• An all-new foreword and afterword, written by Swami Kriyananda, one of Yogananda’s best-known direct disciples. 

About the Author

Paramhansa yogananda.

Paramhansa Yogananda   (often spelled 'Paramahansa' Yogananda) was born on January 5, 1893 in Gorakhpur, India. He was the first yoga master of India to permanently live and teach in the West.

Yogananda's initial impact was truly impressive. But his lasting impact has been even greater. Yogananda's   Autobiography of a Yogi , first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution throughout the world. His message was nonsectarian and universal.

Yogananda brought clarity to hundreds of thousands of people regarding the ancient teachings of India. These teachings include the path of Kriya Yoga, which Yogananda called the 'jet-airplane' route to God, consisting of ancient yoga techniques to hasten the spiritual evolution of the student.

Product Details

The Book That Sparked a Spiritual Revolution

A young yogi meets the most transcendent spiritual persons of his time, and shares their stories. In chapter after chapter, as in no other book, Autobiography of a Yogi illuminates what life is like for those who realize God.

This book, first published in 1946, helped launch, and continues to inspire, a spiritual revolution in the West. It has blessed the lives of millions of readers around the world. From Ram Dass to George Harrison to Steve Jobs, it has been a touchstone and a source of deep inspiration. Philip Goldberg wrote in American Veda that, “Among the people I interviewed about their key spiritual influences, a high percentage named a book, and by far the book most often mentioned was Yogananda’s unique memoir. A distant second was Be Here Now by Ram Dass, and he mentioned the Autobiography .”

As a bright light shining in the midst of darkness, so was Yogananda’s presence in this world. Such a great soul comes on earth only rarely, when there is a real need among men.

The Shankaracharya of Kanchipuram

I will never forget those moments when I read Autobiography of a Yogi for the first time. It is, and shall be, just as Swami Kriyananda says, the greatest book I have ever read.

Editorial Reviews

About the author.

"The true basis of religion is not belief, but intuitive experience. Intuition is the soul's power of knowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one must know God," said Paramhansa Yogananda in the book "The Essence of Self-Realization". He further wrote that "Self- Realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that you are now in possession of the kingdom of God; that you do not have to pray that it come to you; that God's omnipresence is your omnipresence; and that all that you need to do is improve your knowing."
