1: Changed my life
I can honestly say this book changed my life. A previous book, There is a River by Thomas Sugrue, changed my thinking but this one changed my behavior and my life completely. It is a must read for anyone who wants to move past theory and into the practice of a spiritual life.
|
2: The Original, more material, more photos.
This is the first edition with more material and more photographs than the current edition.
It is in original and unedited form. If you have enjoyed the current edition of Autobiography of a Yogi, then treat yourself to this even more comprehensive version.
A truly magical book which will inspire and awe even the most cynical person.

3: Excellent! Thank you seller!
It was a gift sent to someone else. They received it, and that's all I know. Thank you!
|
4: Everyone interested in yoga should read this book.
I bought this book to share. I already have a ragged copy, and wanted one in good condition for my library. Paramahansa's life story provides an intimate look into India's culture, and spiritual and mystical roots. An historic read, it contains an enormous amount of information and inspiration.

5: Mission Impossible: Teach Eastern Philosophy To Western Minds
If you have a problem with some of what Yogananda describes in the book, like mind reading, talking to animals, etc., don't blame it on the book. Blame it on your paradigm. (See, I told you "Mission Impossible".) So, before you pick up the book, be sure and drop your baggage.
Originally I borrowed it from a friend to read (thank you Judi), but bought a copy so I would be able to read it again.
Being able to experience what living in this physical world is like through the eyes of a yogi is a once in a lifetime opportunity. He did so much and kept a low profile. My kind of guy.
And, as if that weren't enough, how many Spiritual teachers, not to mention yogis, have a surf break named after them? (Swami's just below Encinatas, CA is named for Yogananda's gold domed temple on the cliffs above.)
