Product Description

Review
"In the original edition, coming from the period of Yogananda's life, one is more in contact with Yogananda himself. While Yogananda founded centers and organizations, his concern was more with guiding individuals to direct communion with Divinity rather than with promoting any one church as opposed to another. This spirit is easier to grasp in the original edition of this great spiritual and yogic classic."

5.0 out of 5 stars THE MOST AMAZING BOOK I HAVE EVER READ IN HINDUISM, 12 May 1998

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Read This Book, 16 April 1999

By A Customer

If you want the Master's own words, rather than the shadow version later published (orange cover), then read this book. You can see for yourself by visiting the publishers website (crystalclarity.com) and reading the Master's words just as he wrote them.

Much was removed in later editions by ambitious editors, many years after the Master's passing. And much was added, now passed off as if the Master wrote it himself. Even his signature was forged and changed by these later 'editors'!

Again, you can check it out for yourself- don't take my, or anyone's, word for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Direct Personal Experience of God, 11 Sep 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Autobiography of a Yogi (Hardcover)

Christianity generally does not provide the tools and techniques for deep meditation (beyond mind and body) even though Jesus said that the kingdom of God is within you. Christianity emphasizes devotional practices such as prayer and service to others. Deep meditation is necessary for "union with God" (yoga). This profound and life-changing book provides an introduction to yoga meditation and leads one to the methods and techniques for the serious seeker. At the same time, Paramahansa Yogananda broadens one's understanding of the life of Jesus Christ and His mission on earth and in every way acknowledges the Messiah. This book is for all spiritual seekers who still find something missing in their life, or those who already know that only God can satisfy their deep longing. One need not even blindly "believe" what is written in this book, but merely practice the methods provided and discover for oneself the truth of these teachings. This book will lead many souls to God. The monks and nuns of Self Realization Fellowship who practice these teachings are proof positive of the truth to be found herein.
