A life changing experience,
By A Customer
This review is from: Autobiography of a Yogi (Paperback)
In the study of comparative religion there has been few classics such as this Autobiography of a Yogi. It is unique in that the Master Paramahansa Yogananda clearly displayed by his life in our modern world during the 20th century, much that he tells us about in this fascinating and informative work. It not only ties together the many threads of the world's spiritual contributors throughout history, but comes with very new and innovative ideas to challenge any seeker of truth. Helping to show more sense and purpose to the whole picture of a divine plan ongoing. A plan that was never intended to be the monopoly of any one race or religion. The latest editions of this work are essentially the most complete and accurate. As they include the 49th chapter and many other changes made by the author and his appointed editors-in-chief. Paramahansa Yogananda is known as the father of Spiritual Yoga in the west, and was a major force for the introduction of Kriya Yoga meditation. And possibly the world's first correspondence course in spirituality & meditation. Because of the master's fluent English, we have a pure work that needed no translation for the world's most popular language. His love and integrity and wisdom pour through each word. This book will help in addressing many of the misconceptions held by westerners about both Hinduism and Christianity. There is an emphasis in this sacred work on changing oneself first, (while helping others) as our contribution to changing the world to a more civilized and humane community. Herein are available, many powerful answers long sought by those looking for more meaning and direction to their spiritual and community lives. A real way to peace and Self-Realization. The meaningfulness of our very existence. The principles in this book, along with the author's powerful still living presence, emit a life changing vitality and inspiration that has already affected millions of lives.

THE MOST AMAZING BOOK I HAVE EVER READ IN HINDUISM,
By A Customer
This review is from: Autobiography of a Yogi (Hardcover)
I am the author of the international best seller AM I A HINDU? [ISBN 1-879904-06-3 Amazon distributors lists as the 4th popular book on Hinduism] and I wanted to state that AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI, is the most amazing book I have ever read on Hinduism. With his simple and beautiful style of English language, Parama Pujya Swami Paramahamsa Yogananda has given a beautiful picture of Yoga and life in India. I salute him and I adore him. It is him, who inspired me to go deep into spirituality. In India, I first came across this beautiful book when I was 9 years old. I read this book cover to cover many many times. Later with my extremely limited resources I bought at least 50 copies of this book and gave as gifts to my realtives and friends. I gave a copy of my elder brothers who was contemplating on a divorce with his wife. Thanks to this wonderful book, he and his wife are together now and they have made teachings of Parama Pujya Swami Paramahamsa Yogananda, part and pacel of their lives. Yogananda has gone to extreme lengths discussing thought provoking aspects of Hinduism and Christianity in this book and I BEG EVERYONE TO PLEASE READ THIS BOOK....Please buy copies of this book and give to your friends and relatives. .If at all anyone would like to know more about my book AM I A HINDU? [90 chapters] or would like to have FREE educational flow charts on Hinduism please write to me with your postal address...Once again PLEASE READ this wonderful, thought provoking book AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI. Thanks Ed Viswanathan arvind-4@msn.com

Essential reading for everyone exploring spirituality,
By A Customer
This review is from: Autobiography of a Yogi (Paperback)
This is essential reading for anyone with an interest in developing their spiritual understanding. However, it is not always an easy book to read, and perseverance is part of the journey. Probably, the most important thing to say about this book, is 'read the footnotes'. These contain more value than the main dialogue for those who truly want to understand.
