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.

An amazingly inspiring and beautifully uplifting book. I am going to have to listen to it again straight away. Answered so many questions that I've have regarding religion for many years. Up until listening to this autobiography I called myself an atheist.

The best book I've ever read or listened to

This book, if read carefully might just change your life. I first read it four years ago - like a fairytale I must admit. Then Michael Singer mentioned Yogananda in his book “The Untethered soul”, and that made me red read it and re listen to the audio. Suddenly it just spoke to me. It’s a beautiful book and at the same time its a sad book. As he had to leave India to help us in the West to find inner peace. It’s a book about faith, hope and love but also commitment and sacrifice. You do what you have to do. You take part in the daily life, you do your bit. Then you meditate and grow. Self pity and depression has no place in that and by some magic it’s no longer needed to sustain or define you. You are in my mind - finally able to find the true you and shine and be the divine being you have been all the time. Of course there are ups and downs in this journey but if you are sincere in your seeking then the 18 lessons within the fellowship will guide you even further. This Self Realisation Fellowship was set up by Yogananda and it was done solely to help and lighten the life of us in the West. I see it as a huge sacrifice from his part.
It’s a lovely book.
Thank you 🙏

Great books changes your life - your mind
