5.0 out of 5 stars A life changing experience, 5 Feb 2002
By A Customer
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.
It had the effect of taking my own spiritual search from the level of shallow intellectuality to a meaningful renewal of spiritual experience and life living. Expanding my horizons and awareness to all the joy, peace, love and beauty of life within and without.

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.
I would also recommend reading Yogananda's 3 volumes of collected talks and essays, which will verify the above.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Divine marvels, encased in a humbly written book., 15 Dec 2004
This is not a book for the casual wanderer but one for the walker of the spiritual path who is seeking definitive and Divine direction.
The fact that a person would read a review for this book, is probably evidence enough that they are meant to read it. ;)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 28 Feb 2004
This book is truely a masterpiece and certainly worth reading for anyone interested in the spiritual path. The last two chapters didn't hold my attention quite as well as the rest of the book, but this is a minor complaint. However, there have been some alterations made by Self-Realisation Fellowship since the original edition - very slight changes here and there, but sometimes meaning has been clearly altered. If you can find an early print of this book, I'd advise getting that. If not, take care in the sections of the book that seem to push a monistic lifestyle as these are the areas that have been altered - in the original Yogananda does not push this point. Please don't let this put you off reading this book though - it really could change the way you look at life.
