Autobiography of a Yogi is one of the most influential spiritual memoirs of the twentieth century, introducing generations of readers to yoga, meditation, Kriya Yoga, Hindu spirituality, and the lives of India's saints and sages. Paramhansa Yogananda tells the story of his childhood as Mukunda Lal Ghosh, his search for a true spiritual teacher, his discipleship under Sri Yukteswar, his encounters with remarkable holy men and women, and his mission to bring India's spiritual teachings to the West.
Yogananda's narrative combines autobiography, devotional testimony, travel, spiritual instruction, miracle stories, and philosophical explanation. Its lasting appeal lies in the way it presents the inner life as an adventure: disciplined, mystical, demanding, and shaped by encounters that challenge ordinary assumptions about consciousness, death, prayer, the guru-disciple relationship, and the purpose of human life. For readers of spiritual autobiography, yoga, meditation, Hinduism, Indian religion, comparative mysticism, and twentieth-century spiritual classics, Autobiography of a Yogi remains essential reading.
