Autobiography of a Yogi

by Paramahansa Yogananda

Sinead says:

“Autobiography of a yogi is by far the greatest yoga book I have read.  This is the story of Paramhansa Yogananda who realized the path to God Consciousness (enlightenment) when only a child.

He tells us of his spiritual experiences from childhood along with the difficulties he faced with his family when he decided to travel on a spiritual path.  He also writes about his many encounters with spiritual teachers across India on his adventure to find an illuminated teacher. He writes about his visions and encounters with spiritual beings from before his time.

He describes the law of miracles while explaining clearly the difference between what we perceive reality to be and what reality actually is.  We learn from reading this book that nothing is real. All we experience is only a perception of what really is or what the truth is. The truth is enlightenment. He gives a detailed encounter of Kriya Yoga and how this specific yogic technique is the most powerful practice to raise ones level of consciousness to arrive to God realization or Enlightenment.

There are some fantastic moments in this book of miracles, love, compassion, spirit. I cannot do the book justice in this short review.   It can be hard to get into and difficult to read at times but please stick with it.  It will open your mind to the possibilities of human existence.”
