Autobiography of a Yogi: with bonus CD

This book is a masterpiece-- a book about a spiritual master teacher actually written by a spiritual master teacher! There is so much that can happen that us westerners need to know is possible. And having it on audio makes it just that more accessible. Together with Paramahansa Yogananda's audio casettes/etc, of recordings of him speaking, you can get what his voice really sounds like-- deep, resonant, passionate. Wow!

This-the only authorized version of the great Master's life-is a life-altering spiritual adventure. More than a fascinating read, Yoganandaji's story shares the secret science of Yoga and its potential for humanity. The real miracle he reveals is that we all may thus learn our destiny and purpose. This book is one which magnetically draws true seekers of Truth and of God to that fountain of Wisdom which quenches our deep thirst. We can check out AND leave the Hotel California of worldly disillusionment - at last. Kriya Yoga, the blessed gift of the Gurus of India, is the plane ticket.

The author Yogananda and his trained/appointed editors who succeeded Him have made a great classic even better.

The changes introduced by the author and others at SRF pubishers have made it more accurately reflect the true overall teachings and intentions of Yogananda.

Even on the 60th anniversary of its original printing, there were many reviews that praised these latest editions with the orange cover.
One will have to study some of Yoganandas other great works to see how this all ties together, as the SRF's version of this spiritual classic is just the beginning of this amazing story of a modern day divine prophet.

The contiunually emerging testimonials of how this master is still working througha and inspiring many lives towards Self-Realization [Salvation] testifies to the quality of His organization and their handling of His publications.

I for one will add my voice to these testimonials.

This book and others that have flowed from the devoted editing/publishing of SRF publishers has done a great service to our global spiritual evolution and enlightenment. And the successful representation and promulgation of Yoganandas mission in this age.

Did you know that Yoganandas Self-Realization Fellowship is one of the very rare major world religions that allows women to occupy its highest offices? - Even as the president Daya Mata has been successfully doing for over 55 years. So much good has been achieved during her serving in this sacred position. This is only one example of what a wonderfully balanced teaching was left by Yogananda.

I ordered directly from Amazon, and the product arrived damaged. I went to Amazon online and filled out the appropriate information to retrun and receive new product. The new product arrived the next day, in absolute perfect shape! Great customer service! No hassles, and no problems with credit card refunds, etc. BRAVO!

Paramahansa Yogananda, a beautiful Saint from the soul of the earth (India) captured my attention on page one and had it all the way to the very end. And now I miss him! The timelessness of his words, the rapture of his soul, and the gentleness of his humor poured off of every page. One may wonder and perhaps even dismiss the supernormal miracles that were present in this book as wonderful but fanciful thinking. But consider that an electron (one of the basic building blocks of matter) has no objective existence, and you can see that consciousness is the one, true power and that the consciousness of Aum is the only thing really conscious at all anyway.......well one can see that someone who has transcended object-subject, (i.e. duality) may in fact no longer be subject to boundaries.

As for the actual writing, there is not one college student that I know of today that has the command of the English language that Sri Yogananda had/has. I think they went a little footnote crazy, but in this case, the more information the better. I wish there had been a bit of discussion as to his final exit, even if it was done posthumously from the SRF.

This book was in a word, Godly.
